Enjoyed the Bat Mobile

I booked the early Polaris tour for my hubby. He enjoyed driving it around with my niece. He said it would have been nice if it were a stick shift but it was still ok to handle a 3 wheeled car. His only complaint was that it was hot wearing the helmets & the sun directly on them;and there wasn’t any parking at some points where he wanted to take pics. Other than that he had fun & would like me to try it with him next time!!

It was the highlight of our trip.

This was the highlight of my trip. I was able to drive around the city, via the guided GPS, learned about the city and activities, and background of historical information. I give it a thumbs up 👍.

Unique way to see San Diego

This is a unique way to see San Diego. The GPS guidance/ information was phenomenal; the route was perfect (not much traffic and easy to maneuver); the GoCar was difficult to get in and out (we are 80 years old) but easy to drive with pre tour instruction. Trace (Go Car employee) made sure we were comfortable with vehicle and overall tour.

Fantastic informative drive

Fantastic drive, easy with the GPS even with a couple of detours. Very informative and definitely worth it for 2 hours. Urge you to take out the insurance for only 20 dollars, only for peace of mind.
