Looking for full details on the Hop On Hop Off San Diego Trolley Tour?
Taking a hop on hop off San Diego Tour is the perfect way to maximize your time and get around, all while learning some cool facts about America’s Finest City.
Here is everything you need to know about exploring San Diego on the Hop On Hop Off San Diego Old Town Trolley Tour – including free admission to several museums and attractions!
Table of Contents
Exploring San Diego on the Hop On Hop Off San Diego Old Town Trolley Tour
When you live near a tourist destination, you don’t always think to do the touristy things! We’ve been visiting San Diego for years, and in our quest to discover something new to do, decided to explore the city via San Diego Old Town Trolley Tours, an awesome Hop On Hop Off San Diego tour. This ended up being one of the most fun decisions we’ve ever made on a trip!
Named San Diego’s Best Hop On, Hop Off All Day Tour , the San Diego Old Town Trolley stops at ten locations along a 25-mile loop around San Diego. You can easily explore the city’s attractions, museums, beaches, historic sites, shops and restaurants. It is truly the best San Diego sightseeing bus tour. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are new to the city or just want an overview of everything San Diego has to offer.
► Travel Insight Save money exploring San Diego theme parks and attractions with a San Diego CityPASS , which includes the Old Town Trolley Tour and lots of other attractions!
So where does the Hop On Hop Off San Diego Old Town Trolley Tour go? Here are the Old Town Trolley stops:
Start in Old Town
Known as the birthplace of California, Old Town is in the heart of San Diego. We love visiting Old Town San Diego! There is always something fun to explore, and they have the best Mexican food in San Diego!
Founded in 1769, Old Town San Diego is the site of the first Spanish settlement in California.
Today, Old Town State Historic Park is a lively attraction with 50 shops and restaurants and 36 museums and historic sites – many of which are free to explore.
The Whaley House Museum, one of San Diego’s most famous sites, is also just steps away from Old Town. (Old Town Trolley Tour San Diego Gold Pass includes free admission to the Whaley House Museum, which is said to be the most haunted house in America!)
If this sounds like a lot to cram into a day when you’re already planning on take the Old Town Trolley around San Diego – you are right! Your best bet is to come the day before and spend a few hours in Old Town. Enjoy a great dinner at one of the park’s many Mexican restaurants, and then spend the night.
We booked a room at the Best Western Plus Hacienda Hotel , which is literally adjacent to the park. The hotel was lovely and it was great to be able to spend time in Old Town at night and not have to worry about finding parking (or driving home after a few margaritas)!
The next morning, we were able to enjoy breakfast at the hotel and roll right over to the San Diego Old Town Trolley Tours ticket booth to catch the first tour at 9am.

San Diego Embarcadero
Stop B on the San Diego Hop On Hop Off Tour is located along the Embarcadero, near the USS Midway Museum, Maritime Museum and the Star of India.
This location is also home to a great public art display along the waterfront titled “A National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military.” Fifteen life-size bronze statues stand proudly on the waterfront in San Diego, with the USS Midway Museum as their backdrop, paying tribute to our American military. Definitely worth a quick stop if just for the photo opp!
Seaport Village
Stop C is Seaport Village, one of San Diego’s most popular tourist spots. Seaport Village San Diego is a 14-acre waterfront shopping, dining, and entertainment destination. It features a promenade with spectacular views of the Coronado Bridge, Coronado Island and boats on the bay.
Downtown San Diego
The next group of stops on the San Diego Old Town Trolley Tour route (Stops D-G) hit different neighborhoods downtown.
If you are looking to do some shopping, Horton Plaza is a great multi-level open air mall. The historic Gaslamp Quarter is a neighborhood filled with restaurants and bars (definitely comes more alive at night) but in the daytime there are some sights to see if you hop off.
Because it was free with our trolley tour and we had never been there before, we took the opportunity to check out the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum – actually pretty interesting!
Coronado Island
Cross San Diego Bay via the San Diego-Coronado Bridge and hop off at Stop H on Orange Avenue, the main shopping and dining area of Coronado. The Hotel Del Coronado is two blocks south, and Coronado Beach is also two blocks away.
► Check out these family-friendly things to do in Coronado .
The iconic Hotel del Coronado is certainly one of San Diego’s most famous hotels. And luckily you don’t need to book a room to enjoy it! Wander through the hotel’s shops, grab a drink or snack at the Sun Deck Bar (and enjoy it while looking out at the sea!) or simply spend some time on the beach.
Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo
Each of the San Diego attractions at Stop I can easily be a full day. The San Diego Zoo is easily one of the best and largest zoos in the country, and Balboa Park is home to 16 museums and 1200 acres of gardens and some truly amazing architecture.
Because we are “museum people” and there was an exhibit on Cannibalism at the Museum of Man that my teenage son wanted to see, we stopped. But if you’re schedule permits save this area for a day when you can dedicate a big chunk of time to explore.
Little Italy
In all the years we’ve been visiting San Diego, I had never even been to Little Italy. The Old Town Trolley Tour made it easy to hop off at Stop J and walk around, see what the neighborhood is all about.
Cap off your day with a made-fresh-daily gelato in Little Italy. And if you have kids (or just happen to like fire trucks), be sure to stop and check out the San Diego Firehouse Museum.

I’ve been to California a few times but never San Diego… Now I’m wondering if I’d ever be able to pull myself away from the beach to check out all of the city’s beautiful architecture!
September 19, 2018 at 10:28 am
I did the route 1 drive from LA to San Fran a few years back but unfortunately we didnt venture far enough south to discover San Diego. This post makes me want to go!!
September 19, 2018 at 10:46 am
This does look like a fun way to explore the city! I actually really like exploring local areas like a tourist sometimes. It gives you a whole new perspective on how fun your city can be! It’s really cool that so many of San Diego’s museums were included in the price too!
September 19, 2018 at 11:30 am
Wow, I honestly didn’t realize there was so much to do in San Diego. I live in LA so I’ve made the drive a couple times, just day trips, and I guess I didn’t research enough beforehand! I need to try again and do it right this time.
I have heard how wonderful the zoo is from multiple people now, maybe I should make it a weekend trip so I can spend a whole day there. I’m on the same page as your son, I want to see that cannibalism exhibit haha. How was it?
September 19, 2018 at 10:09 pm
You should definitely go for a weekend if you can get away overnight! We discovered a lot of things by taking the trolley that I didn’t even know were there. My husband and son really liked the cannibalism at the Museum of Man! It was very well done, educational and not too gross LOL. I walked around the park and went to the botanical gardens while they were there 🙂
September 19, 2018 at 1:03 pm
What a cool way to explore the beautiful city
September 19, 2018 at 5:48 pm
I’ve never imagined exploring San Diego on a Trolley could bring you to so many attractions. It seems you had so much fun as well!
September 20, 2018 at 12:28 am
It is always nice to explore a City a bit with style and your trolley tour looks like this!!! nice post.
September 20, 2018 at 9:26 am
I didn’t realize there was so much to see in San Diego! It sounds like a fun way to explore the city and see some of the sights you might not know exist. It would be hard to choose between the zoo and seeing Balboa Park and all of its museums.
September 20, 2018 at 11:37 am
I like this informative post. My cousin lives in Carlsbad, I’m sure she will take us everywhere if we go there again. But I think taking a trolley tour like you and your family did is a must-do. You have your family time while visiting the city, and you get to see a lot of things. Thank you for the post. Pinned it as well.
September 21, 2018 at 12:31 am
Gelatos in Little Italy sounds like a plan! It is amazing how much you can see with the planned tours like the trolley bus! This is a nice guide and important info! Thanks for sharing…
September 25, 2018 at 1:00 pm
I just moved to San Diego and am enjoying exploring my own backyard for the last couple of months. I will definitely add a trolley tour to my to-do list now 🙂
March 24, 2023 at 11:44 am
I recently took the San Diego Old Town Trolley Tour and it was an amazing experience! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of the city. The trolley was comfortable and the views were spectacular. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Diego!

Going on a San Diego hop on hop off trolley tour
September 14, 2022 | Posted in: USA
We'd spent our first evening in San Diego wandering through the city and the morning after on a boat, cruising the San Diego Bay.
With only an afternoon left before we had to go back to Los Angeles and still a whole lot to see, we decided to take a San Diego hop on hop off trolley tour with Old Town Trolley Tours.
San Diego hop on hop off trolley tour with Old Town Trolley Tours
Old Town trolley tours of San Diego: How it works
Old Town Trolley Tours works with a hop-on/hop-off system. You buy a ticket once and with that ticket you can hop on and off the trolleys driving through San Diego for an entire day (or two, if you get the two-day tour). Of course, you can't get on/off just anywhere. You have to use the trolley stops located throughout San Diego and Coronado Island.
This San Diego trolley tour has 12 destination stops in different neighborhoods in a 25-mile loop, which can save you a lot of time if you have only a day or two in the city.
Also, all San Diego trolley tickets include free or discounted entry to museums and other attractions like the Coronado Historical Nurseries, the Museum of Us, the Mormon Battalion Museum, and the San Diego Chinese Historical Museum.
Coronado Island Trolley
While crossing the San Diego / Coronado Bay Bridge we got some great views over Seaport Village and Coronado Island. It’s a bit scary driving over this bridge as the side edge to keep you from falling is only like 20 cm high and there's no glass in the windows of the trolleys.
Coronado Island isn’t part of San Diego. It’s a separate city and one that upholds strict rules for those living there. McDonald’s and other chains aren’t allowed as the island wants to preserve its ‘authentic’ feel.
There was nothing on Coronado when Elisha Babcock and Hampton Story decided to buy it for $110,000 (price then) in 1886 to turn it into a resort community. They constructed roads, built a water and power system, and attracted buyers for the lots they’d laid out. But the crown jewel of their work was (and still is) the Hotel del Coronado, built in just one year for $1 million (price then).
Since then, Coronado has become a popular resort area with hotels, shops, restaurants, and even a theater. And to top it all up, Coronado Beach is among the top 10 beaches in the United States, according to the Travel Channel . So you can hop off the Coronado trolley to grab a bite to eat, stroll over its picturesque scenery, or if you have more time, visit some of the resorts.
Balboa Park trolley tour, San Diego
After having seen the Hotel del Coronado we drove back over the bridge, this time getting a view of the Naval Station, toward Balboa Park .
Balboa Park is huge. There are 15 museums, among which the Air and Space Museum and the Museum of Art , but also performing arts venues, gardens and the San Diego Zoo . The park even has its free tram service to take you around.
But even by tram, we knew we wouldn't be able to explore the full 1,200 acres of this place within the amount of time we had. We had to choose between visiting a museum or two and wandering around to see more but from the outside.
We chose to wander, but it didn't go so smoothly. Temperatures had been around 40°C during the day for most of our trip and although I love the heat, I was struggling with it that day. I felt tired and just wanted to go hang out somewhere, but because I knew we didn't have much time in the city to see the rest of the San Diego trolley tour stops, I decided to make the most of it.
After about two hours, I had to give in. I wasn't enjoying Balboa as much as I should have and so we decided to take the trolley back to Little Italy and head back to the hotel.
That meant we skipped Old Town San Diego. I'm bummed I didn't see it now, but at the time I just wanted to get to our hostel and rest for a moment. Even the thought of driving back to LA in our comfortable air-conditioned car seemed appealing.
Still, I did enjoy our last part on the San Diego trolley tour, though, as our new driver told us about some beautiful houses we drove by and their past owners.
Old Town San Diego trolley tour
Although we missed this part of the San Diego Old Town trolley schedule, here are some of the highlights to show you why you shouldn’t make the same mistake.
When you take one of the Old Town San Diego trolley tours, you can't miss Casa de Aguirre, a reconstruction of one of the first homes built in San Diego in the 1850s. It has exhibitions about the lives of the inhabitants of San Diego in previous centuries.
But Casa de Aguirre is not the only historic site in the area. As you'd expect from an old town, there are plenty of museums and historic homes to learn more about the city's past, from its pre-colonial roots to the present day. For example, you can visit attractions like the first schoolhouse in San Diego, a historic haunted house , and the Gaslamp Quarter — an area with 94 historic buildings in different architectural styles.
The Old Town San Diego trolley tour is your window to the history of the city, so do make time for it if you can.
Summing up our experience with the trolley tour in San Diego
I'm not someone who easily goes on tours, but I really enjoyed our ride on the trolley. Both drivers we had seemed to love their job and had tons of interesting stories to tell. I regret that we weren't able to make it to Old Town San Diego, but sometimes you just have to accept that it's not your day, even when traveling.
Old Town trolley tour San Diego: Practical information
A one-day ticket for the trolleys costs $41.44 for adults and $31.5 for children aged 4-12. Children younger than 4 get to ride for free.
You can buy your San Diego trolley tickets online, at any ticket station, or even at your hotel's front desk.
Old Town Trolley Tours also offers a 2-day tour for $77, a San Diego Beach Tour, and a Seal Tour. Check out their website for more information on those.
Schedules change depending on the session:
- From October 30 to March 12: the first tour leaves Old Town at 9 am and the last trolley leaves at 3 pm, running until 5 pm.
- From March 13 to October 29: the first tour leaves Old Town at 9 am and the last trolley leaves at 4 pm, running until 6 pm.
Keep in mind that holidays and special events in San Diego like December Nights and San Diego Comic-Con may change the schedule, so make sure to check if you're visiting during those times.
We stayed at Lucky D's Hostel in a private room. This place was perfectly located near the Gaslamp Quarter and the bay area.
Don't forget travel insurance
Plan for the best, prepare for the worst. Travel insurance has you covered in case (part of) your trip gets canceled, you get sick or hurt during your San Diego hop on hop off trolley tour, and sometimes even when your electronics break or get stolen. I always make sure I'm covered on every trip I go on. Don't have travel insurance yet? Check out SafetyWing. They offer super flexible plans that you can even sign up for while you're already on your trip. On top of that, they were the first travel insurance to cover COVID, and when I got COVID, they reimbursed all of my expenses without making a fuss. Their customer support team is great and I can personally recommend them.
We received two free one-day tickets for the Old Town Trolley Tour from the San Diego Tourism Board and a one-night hostel stay from Hostelbookers.com. Partnerships like these will never affect how I express my opinion.

Roberta Loufek says
Back in 2000 I moved to San Diego for a few years, and one of the first things I did was take the Old Town Trolley Tour to learn about my new home and get a feel for the area. It was so fun and informative! Thanks for the re-tour. I’m in Arizona now – up in the mountains, but your wonderful photos remind me of my time in San Diego near the ocean.
My pleasure Roberta! May I ask why you left San Diego again? Do you like Arizona better?
Tim | UrbanDuniya says
I’ve seen these in some cities before and went on one in Perth, Australia when I was a child – too long ago for me to remember much of it. What a great way to see San Diego!
Yes it was! Especially as it was so warm that day and we got to sit a bit in the shade and were driven around to see a lot of things :-)
Thanks for the memories – Made 2nd trip to SD in December and hope to be back in July – love it and love the trolley.
You seem to be a true SD fan:)
NZ Muse says
We took a quick tram ride around Balboa Park but didn’t really go into any museums (they are surprisingly pricey). As for Old Town we sorta cruised through at night but didn’t really stop – my favourite part about SD was really just chilling on the beach (we went in November and it was still really warm so cannot imagine what it’s like in summer).
We actually didn’t go to the beach when we were in SD. As we had so little time we wanted to see as much of the city as possible.
Heather says
I love the idea of hop-on/hop-off tours, but they are always so pricey and make me feel rushed. San Diego looks beautiful, though, and I’d love to visit!
They are often pricey, that’s true, but this one didn’t make me feel rushed at all as you could get on and off whenever you wanted to. First pick-up was somewhere in the morning and the last one around 5 pm. How many times you got on and off in between was entirely up to you. Of course if you plan on spending a lot of time in each part of the city than a tour like this is probably too expensive, but if you want to see as much as possible in one day or get a good first impression of the city then this is definitely interesting.
Lauren Meshkin says
I live just two hours from San Diego and don’t visit nearly enough. Coronado Island looks and sounds awesome! I’d definitely be interested in taking this tour. That house is stunning as well, wow. Not something you’d usually see in California. Thanks for sharing!
Happy travels :)
Hey Lauren!
Do you live north, south or east of San Diego? Not that I’m curious:D Just interested in exploring the region more as well!
I live very close to LAX airport in the south bay, about 2 hours from San Diego. I write about LA and the surrounding area a bit on my blog. Sometimes I have to remind myself to explore my own backyard a bit more, if you know what I mean. California really has so much to offer. Message me anytime you’re in the area and I’ll point you in the right direction! Take care.
I definitely know what you mean! There’s so much in Belgium I haven’t seen yet. When I’m at home I lock myself up to work too often. Which gets me thinking: maybe I should plan a monthly day trip in Belgium or something:)
Have been to California three times and I absolutely love it. The diversity of the area and of course the weather.
I’ll definitely let you know when I plan another trip there, thanks!
Victoria says
Nice post! I like the phrase “but sometimes you just have to accept that it’s not your day, even when traveling.” I agree and have been in such situation. I always say that you just get a reason to come back again some time:)
That’s a great way of thinking! I have to say I felt a bit negative about San Diego at first, but now I feel like I can’t fully judge as I definitely wasn’t at my best during my visit. Indeed, a reason to go back:)
