Great Way to See the Sites - We did the 1hr GPS guided tour in San Francisco and it was AWESOME!!!! If we would have had more time that day we would have stayed on for the 2hr tour but we had to leave for the airport. We would definitely recommend this as a great way to see the top tourist spots.

1 Hr GoCar guided tour - The vehicle was a lot of fun to drive and got loads of people stopping to photo or video us on our trip. The audio tour and guide is really useful, especially if you don't know San Francisco very well. The 1 hour tour was enough for us, given the day was overcast with very low cloud, so even the Golden Gate Bridge (up close) wasn't visible. But we got to see loads of other great places and enjoyed coming down Lombard Street (the curvy street often used on films) in our bright yellow vehicle.

fun day in San Francisco - These little go cars are so much fun!!!!!!!! Easy to drive! My daughter (21) just got her drivers license and it is a great way for her to learn how to deal with traffic, people, inpatient drivers etc. We rented 2 days in a row. 3 hrs is a wonderful amount of time to run around San Francisco.

A must! - So much fun. Navigation gives you turn by turn instructions along with historical information as you’re passing through your route. Can’t wait to come back and do the two hour route.
