  How long does the tour last?

The Old Town Trolley Tour is a two-hour, award winning, fun-filled, fully narrated tour!  Depending on the time of year that you are traveling, the day of the week you are touring, and the amount of time you have in your day, you may have time to disembark at some of our stops and reboard at a later time. Please see our friendly CASTmembers at our Old Town, Harbor Drive, Seaport Village, William Heath Davis, and Horton Plaza Depots to help plan your touring day...and don't forget to ask for your complimentary San Diego Day Planner!

How often do trolleys come to each stop? 

Our trolleys come by approximately every 30 minutes, though times may vary slightly due to traffic conditions. Depending on demand, the time of year, day of the week, and time of day, our in-field dispatchers often put more trolleys in the tour loop at an increased frequency. We are San Diego's most popular tour, and during peak times, we cannot guarantee that each trolley will have available seats.
