Great was to visit San Diego

Very convenient pick up and drop off locations. Trolley was always on time. Our 2 drivers were excellent. They knew how to make the tour interesting and how to keep everyone's attention. The trolley were clean and the drivers wiped down "touch points" during the tour.

See the sites

All of our guides were informative and funny. We truly enjoyed our day. Whenever we visit new cities with Hop on Hop off tour service we book a day or two. Great way to learn about the city and see the sites.
