OLD TOWN TROLLEY TOUR
Board an Old Town trolley, a mode of transportation as charming as San Diego. Your driver, who is also your guide, will offer compelling anecdotes, humorous stories, and historical information as you pass Seaport Village, the Convention Center, the historic Gaslamp Quarter, and Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. Once you arrive at Coronado Bay Bridge, you will love the 360° views of the city. On Coronado Island, you will learn the history of famed Hotel del Coronado before heading to Balboa Park, the largest urban cultural park in the US and home to the world-famous San Diego Zoo. Head to downtown and experience seven distinct neighborhoods, including Little Italy, as you make your way to Old Town State Historic Park, marking the beginnings of this city with a Spanish discovery in 1542. In Old Town, drive by one of the oldest cemeteries and an authentic haunted house as well as the Old Town Market, home to over 40 unique shops, as we take a quick 15-minute ride back to the pier.
Please note: This tour can be hop-off/hop-on if the guest chooses.
City Tour Trolleys go by our stops approximately every 20 minutes. You will be given a map, schedule, and sticker for re-boarding should you decide to disembark the trolley tour for some personal exploration. When booking this tour through MSC, guests will enjoy the convenience of guaranteed seating and direct pick-up from the cruise terminal and return service to the nearest possible location for re-boarding their ship—offering true pier-to-pier service.
This excursion is operated as a private experience exclusively for MSC guests while they remain on their designated trolley. However, guests may choose to leave their private trolley to utilize the hop-on, hop-off feature. If they do so, they will join the public tour and will be subject to its schedule, availability, and first-come, first-served seating
