By Trolley: Old Town Trolley worked for us!

  • 'Mode': AROUND

    Getting TO/AROUND: We found the Old Town Trolley useful not just as a tour, but as basic transportation -- if you are staying on Coronado Island, as we were, it is cost efficient compared with taking cabs and much more entertaining!
    .
    All of the drivers are good -- but Frank has to take the prize for over-the-top looniness.

    By Boat: Harbor Tours float my boat :)

    Getting TO/AROUND: There are two companies that provide harbor tours from the harborfront: Hornblower and Harbor Excursions. We took the latter.
    .
    We took the 2 hour tour, which is a comination of the "north" and the "south" tours. Our recommendation? Unless you are REALLY into miltary hardware, just take the south tour.

    Getting TO/AROUND: A fun way to get from San Diego to Coronado or the reverse is the Bay Ferry. It's a mini harbor tour for $2.!
    .
    Unfortunately it only runs once an hour during daylight. It docks at Ferry Marketplace in Coronado & at the Broadway pier in San Diego. At Broadway pier you can catch the Old Town Trolley, visit the Maritime Museum and SOON visit the aircraft carrier Midway.

     Lots of great restaurant-tips ! San Diego does not seem to be a good place for a diet...

     Tough to come up with too many cons for San Diego (although it's pricey!!).

     Great page with excellent photos! The trolley looks amazing - always thought trolleys need rails and electric power
