Perfect tour for a mini-vacation! - We didn’t have a lot of time in San Francisco so the early bird 3 hour tour was a great way to get out & see a LOT of sights while having fun! I would do it again if we had more time, so we could make more stops at the shops & restaurants along the way. Tip: if you are tall or overweight I’d recommend the electric car (zeromax). I’m 6’4” and the classic Go Car was cramped but not horrible. And if you are very overweight this car isn’t for you.

The Best Tour I've Ever Been On - I don't think we stopped laughing/smiling the entire time. We had so much fun. The tour was easy to navigate and the go-carts were so fun. They even had Mariokart costumes for us to use.

Lots of fun, easy to drive, so much to see. Consider bringing gloves and/or a neck gaiter (even in July!) - We’d been planning a San Francisco trip for awhile and I was all over TripAdvisor looking for ideas and reviews. I came across this GoCar thing and thought it looked like a fun way to see the city. Yes!! So glad we did this. We did an early bird (3 hours for the price of 2 hours) tour and I’d really recommend going this route. In hindsight I spent a lot of time mulling over which tour to take…honestly just pick how long you want to be in the car - 3 hours worked well for us; got to see a lot and didn’t feel too rushed - unless there’s a specific site that you feel you HAVE to see from this tour. You can always go to more places, but 3hr was a nice tour around major city landmarks. Fisherman’s Wharf, Golden Gate Bridge, Presidio, Land’s End, Golden Gate Park, Haight Asbury, Lombard Street, Coit Tower. You have a bit of time to get out and take pictures if you want, or time to take optional detours. Ultimately they charge you (I think $1/minute?) overtime if you return the car past 3 hours, so keep track of your time. We felt like the car was very easy to drive. There’s nothing to do with your feet, just hand breaks and a throttle to go forward (turning more to go faster, less to go slower). It doesn’t reverse (or have any other gears); to reverse you’d get out and manually push the car back, as you would a car in neutral. We only did this once to get out of a parking space. ALSO - we are from Central Florida and we had heard San Francisco was cold in July but we were like…ummmm okay sure. YES IT IS. On the day of our tour (9am-noon, foggy but no rain or anything) I wore a long sleeve shirt, zip up sweater, rainjacket, AND we had to buy gloves and a scarf in a gift shop! I would absolutely recommend to bring gloves if you get cold hands, and even a neck gaiter or something. My whole face was red in the cold wind as we rode around. Last of my recommendations - I’d suggest riding two to a car instead of having your own, so that one of you can navigate. The screen is hard to read in the sun and you might have difficulty if you’re doing it on your own. Do this tour! We’ve already recommended it to others.

Early bird red route is a relaxing experience under your own control excellent experience - Amazing way to see San Francisco at a pace you control. Cars are very easy to drive and staff very helpful. Would really recommend doing the early bird tour as the traffic is lighter. Great experience and great value.

GoTour Tandem Bike Fun in SF! - Making reservations was easy, the staff were helpful, and the dash-mounted tour system was great in guiding our trip! It was nice being able to stop at locations we were interested in - a great benefit of a directed tour taken at your own pace. Highly recommend the experience!

What a great experience! - What a memorable experience! We saw things in San Francisco we would have never seen if it wasn’t for this tour. The views were incredible and my husband and I had an absolute blast! We went with another couple and had many laughs at stop lights and stop signs. lol We did the three hr tour and we were amazed the sites we were able to see in that time. The GPSpad is very easy to follow and I would recommend paying the extra for the up grade. I highly recommend this trip and would make the time to do it if it’s not in your plans yet.

A great day in San Francisco - Had so much fun on our GoCar tour. Unique way to learn about the city. We only had one day in San Francisco so we wanted to maximize our time and this was a perfect way for us to see and learn about SF but on our own time too. Navigation worked well and we learned a lot from the narration We were glad we did it early in the day.

Good overall experience - The GoCars are small and outdated, and the GPS was antiquated, the staff and check in experience were great but I suggest the upgrade to the larger electric vehicle
