Explore San Diego at your own pace with a hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour. With a 1-day or 2-day pass, you'll have unlimited access to the route, allowing you to get on and off at multiple stops across the city.

Led by knowledgeable conductors, this 2-hour tour allows you to get off and on as often as you wish at 11 stops, spend as much time as you like at each stop and re-board another trolley when you are ready.

Stops include views of the Big Bay and city skyline from atop the 2-mile-long Coronado Bridge, as well as the beautiful resort island of Coronado at the world-renowned Hotel Del Coronado. Travel through historic Gaslamp Quarter, Old Town – the birthplace of California, the Embarcadero, and Little Italy. You’ll also travel to the island of Coronado, home of Coronado Beach.

Great way to see the city and gain information. Ticketing process was a bit confusing…no one at the booth for first tour of the day out of Coronado, so bought on line. No one checks it until Old Town? Didn’t know…and made an error on my ticket date. Booth person in Old Town helped to solve my problem.
