Old Town Trolley Tours

Old Town Trolley Tour

Old Town is the historical heart of San Diego. Junipero Serra chose Presidio Hill as the site for the first California Mission in 1769, establishing San Diego as the first west coast Spanish settlement. Old Town is more than a tribute to Mexican heritage.. it's a historical park and a tourist attraction.

The Old Town Trolley Tour is a 2-hour fully narrated sightseeing tour. You'll see all the fabulous sites of America's Finest City and Coronado. The trolley makes 8 stops so you can disembark along the way and enjoy Old Town, Seaport Village, Horton Plaza, Balboa Park, Coronado and the San Diego Zoo. From coast-to-coast, Old Town Trolley Tours has been telling the story of San Diego for over 20 years. Discount Tickets for the Old Town Trolley Tour!
