Must do in San Diego - Did both Go Cars and Speedboat Adventures. Can’t say enough good things about both. Parents and kids had a ball, tons of laughing, sight seeing and overall a great time. 13 yo girls favorite part of the trip was the Go Cars and 10 yo boy favorite part of the weekend was Speedboats. Definitely worth your time and money.

Love it! So much fun. - This is highlight of our trip! It was so much fun! We got the upgrade one because the regular one are booked,So Why not? Pay a lil extra,It's vacation right? Trust me it's worth every pennies because it's faster than the regular one.Tanner was our captain.If you trying to picture what was the tour would look like.The captain will communicate with you through the radio and he will be the first one and you're all driving in one line following each other.Tanner always make sure we're all doing good the whole trip.We got a lot of boat and jet ski in the ocean today,That's what you have to keep an eyes on.Got a lot of high wave and it was so much fun.When we do full speed and it's hit the big wave personal I think it's feel better than when you're on the low speed and hit the big wave because you feel the wave more when you're doing slow.Overall it was awesome! Love it,Had so much fun with it and definitely will do it again when we're in San Diego.

Zipping Around San Diego - Captain John was great during our Speedboat tour. Enjoyed navigating the boat and catching speed out on the water. It was easy to operate the boat, follow the group, and you can hear Captain John clearly throughout the tour providing tidbits of history/info on what we were seeing. It can get cold so dress appropriately and we kept out masks on because it helped block the wind when we went FAST.
The GoCar tour was just as fun. The gps is easy to hear and follow the directions. We didnt do any stops at the locations as my son and I were having such a grand time zipping through SanDiego. Balboa Park is a must to drive through.
All in all it was money well spent. Enjoyed each activity and would highly recommend them both. Again dress appropriately cause it can get cold especially the faster you go and we did both activities during the morning time.

Awesome Land & Sea Adventure! - Had a great time driving around town seeing sites & narration was informative. The little car was fun & had lots of complements from passers by. The speedboat was fast, we had the 50 hp one, and opening it up out in the open waters was a blast!

Fun times seeing the city from land and the sea. - The boats were fun but I would have liked hearing more history along the coast and if there were less boats in the group it may have been easier to keep track.
The go cars were fun also but we ran into to much traffic in balboa park so we didn’t get to see that on the tour which was no fault of go cars but still a little disappointing

Outstanding Afternoon - I had a business trip to SD with my team. Most had never been to SD. We started with the scooters. A great way to see the city. Not all the GPS’s worked but we managed and had fun. Overall scooters receive a 4
The Speedboats were awesome. SD is best seen from the water. Capt. Scott and Riley made sure we had a great time.
Even those who had never driven a boat were driving like pros quickly and had the time of their lives. A 5 for the Speedboats. It was the highlight of the trip.

Unsatisfied - It was nice but the guide stoped working about 1/4 of the way through so we had to use our own Waze app to gps back. We cut the trip short to avoid getting lost.

Fun but expensive - We got what we thought was a deal, however when we arrived to the car tour we found out you pay for each person even though it doesn’t take anything more from them. So paying for our 10 year old boys to join us and making us pay double it was expensive.
The car ride is fun, bumpy roads so be able to take the bumps. The audio GPS is a must!
The boats- fun! However we had the last two boats and the last boat did not have the speed of others so we were left way behind. When the captain would get to a site and talk we were not even there and you cannot hear on the speaker. Almost when we got to the site he would take off so we had little time to enjoy the sites.
We also stated 30 minutes late in the trip and told not to worry that we would still get our time. This was not the case at all since the boat adventure was less than 2 1/2 hours when it should have been three.
