Being a local has its perks — especially if you’re up for a few touristy activities this month.

Old Town Trolley Tours is running its “Locals Month” promotion, offering San Diego residents free admission to three attractions through Tuesday, Jan. 31:

👻 The daytime, self-guided tour at the Whaley House in Old Town
🚃 Old Town Trolley Tours (those green and orange buses that cruise to major attractions)
🌊 San Diego SEAL Tours (those blue vehicles that hit both the streets and San Diego Bay)

To take advantage of the freebies, bring your valid San Diego County photo ID, driver’s license, or voter’s registration to a ticket booth — like the one at 4010 Twiggs St. in Old Town, 1004 N. Harbor Drive along the Embarcadero, or 825 W. Harbor Drive at Seaport Village.

The company says the offer is for local families or individuals, not for groups like schools. Happy sightseeing. 🌇
