Fun Trolley Tour - Our driver, Mike, was very engaging and entertaining. He greeted each group as we entered and learned domeoabout each. During his dialogue, he would reference various people on the trolley. We started in Old Town at about 2 pm on Oct. 19th.

A good way to get around the city (on & off as listed) - The first part of our tour couldn’t have been better! Thank you Matt for all the information you provided!! We enjoyed our time getting off in Coronado, Little Italy & Old Town. Several of the stops were just hotel drop off points which was disappointing. The last part of our bus ride with Benjamin was the worse. Horrible jokes one after the other! Provided no redeeming value.

Nice way to get around an unfamiliar city. - Very good tour, very friendly drivers. My only complaint would be that it doesn't run long enough to be able to spend a good amount of time at the different spots. Ending the routes around 4 P. M. puts an early end to your day.

Tourist - Janie was enthusiastic and filled with excitement. As a visitor from a big city, I had higher expectations. More sightings; I wish there was a 10-minute break to take pictures rather than having to find the pick-ups and wait 30 minutes for the next trolley..
