Old Town Trolley Tours of San Diego

Old Town Trolley Tours seem to go hand in hand with a beach town. I have been on so many Old Town Trolley Tours from Key West to San Diego. The kids and I always enjoy them. The drivers are always fun for the kids but also provide great fun facts about the city throughout the tour. It is also a great way to get around San Diego as the tour stops at many of San Diego’s most popular spots.

One of my older boys favorite things to do during Kids Free in San Diego is the Speedboat adventures. They have a 5-star rating on Tripadvisor with over 800 reviews.

Plus, you are able to navigate and captain your own speedboat for the entirety of the tour while following their trained and knowledgeable guides to experience the best of both worlds – the THRILL of driving your own speedboat, and the safety of having a skilled guide introduce you to the beauty of San Diego Harbor.
