The trolley is certainly worth it! It stops at all major points of interest, and the driver commentary is very informative.

My group enjoyed the commentary, the humor, and the wonderful sites, particularly in the morning ride with Jack. The only negative: during the late afternoon return ride, some in the group in the back who apparently didn't understand the commentary began conversing rather loudly, which made it hard to hear the driver.

The open air Trolley was so comfortable and fun while exploring San Diego. The route was interesting, the drivers were informative and the Trolley was affordable. We had a great day.

Benjamin kept us laughing going from spot to spot. Very relaxing and did not worry about parking or traffic. I would reccomend to others and use the service again. Cheers, Jim
