Description

from San Diego City Lights Night Tour

Your night tour journey starts off by exploring the West Coast’s premier entertainment district known as the Gaslamp Quarter. Famed for its vibrant nightlife, bright lights, and Victorian architecture, it will captivate your imagination of what makes this urban playground unforgettable. We’ll then make our way to Balboa Park, the largest urban cultural park in the US, where it’s transformed at night by stunning buildings, fountains, and statues glowing bright that are equally as remarkable in the evening as they are during the day.

From Balboa Park we’ll drive to the top of Coronado Bridge for more spectacular sights, including the lights coming in from Tijuana, Mexico, the bay, and downtown San Diego. We’ll then travel to Coronado’s Ferry Landing for a 20-minute stop to take in the stunning beauty of the San Diego city skyline, visible from across the bay and a perfect photo op location.

Tour Duration: 1.5 hours

"Easy way to see city"

Reviewed March 02, 2020

Great way to see city without a car and learn about the area too. Love the hop on and off feature and the flexability to start at any stop. We got off at Coranado Beach, Old Town and Little Italy to spend more time.

"Fun"

Jack, our trolley driver was hysterical. We only got off once to see Coronado which was gorgeous. This is a great way to see attractions and determine what you might want to do if you have limited time in San Diego. Highly recommend.

This is a Good and cost effective was of seeing the sites in this lovely city. The commentary is informative, if a tad cheesy at times. Trolley's run to time

"Pricey "

Reviewed February 22, 2020

This tour is pricey, esp if your intent is to do the loop and not do a lot of on and off, esp later in the day. This time of year the last full tour is at 3p and so two people are paying $84 and can’t get off or there is no next bus. Other similar products in major cities call one day passes 24 hours, so if you started at 3p, you would have until 3p the next day. Alternatively they could charge less later in the day. That said, many who had been hopping on & off during the day were complaining about excessively long waits all day, so at least we missed that! We did get to drive by and through much of the city and got some good tidbits from our driver who was super pleasant. Summary - enjoyed it and got a visual of things I would not have on this short trip, but not a great value and a good competitor could surely take a chunk of these customers!

A great way to see a lot of San Diego, from the Gaslamp Quarter to Little Italy to Old Town to Coronado. The entire tour lasts about two hours, with 10 stops. Very nice.
