Can you stop along the way? Yes, you set your own pace.
Do you have to stay on the tour? We recommend staying on the route. There are several fun detours included in the tour.
Vehicles: Are controlled with a motorcycle-style handle, throttle, and hand brakes. The 3-wheeled cars seat two and have a lockable trunk for your things. Their small size makes parking a breeze, and in San Francisco - a major bonus!
How fast does the car go? Up to 35-mph. Most roads on tour are residential or in parks, therefore an average speed of 30-mph or less can be expected while driving.

Must experience!
This was so much fun, exciting, and educational. It was a bit scary at times. The hills in San Francisco are no joke lol. I got off track a few time but that added to the adventure. I did the 3 hour tour and it went very quickly.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience!
We're so glad you had such a fun, exciting, and educational adventure exploring San Francisco! And yes—those San Francisco hills definitely add an extra bit of excitement! 😄
We're happy you enjoyed the 3-hour tour, even when getting a little off track became part of the adventure. If you visit us again and want even more time to explore, we recommend our **All Day Tour**, giving you more freedom to stop, wander, and enjoy the sights at your own pace.
We hope to see you again for another GoCar adventure! 🚗🌉😊

Use suncream
A great tour! You get to see a lot while driving a fun little vehicle yourself. It's a unique and enjoyable way to explore the area.
Two suggestions for improvement:
- Install more suncream in all areas that are not covered on your body, as you can catch a lot of sun during the ride.
- 3 hours is short; Allow a bit more time at the stops so participants have enough time to get out, walk around, and enjoy the sights.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
We're so glad you enjoyed exploring San Francisco in one of our GoCars and found it to be a unique and fun way to see the city.
We also appreciate your helpful suggestions. You're absolutely right—on sunny days, sunscreen is a must, especially for your hands and arms while driving. We also understand your comments about the tour length. For guests who like to spend more time at each stop, we recommend our All Day Tour or one of our electric E-Sport tours, which offer even more flexibility to explore at your own pace while crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.
Thank you again for your feedback and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! 🚗🌉☀️

10/10 must do!
My partner and I rented the Go Car Classic for the early bird special of 3 hours in SF. It was such a blast and what a fun and exciting way to explore the city!! It was my partner's first time in SF so this was perfect to get a lay of the land and a general idea of what the northern part of the city has to offer.
The audio tour was interesting and the GPS navigation started off great but we ended up getting a little lost towards the end. It was our fault for getting distracted, but we got back on track with plenty of time to complete the tour.
My favorite part was the crooked Lombard Street! Best type of vehicle to go down that insane road!! Just watch out for the pedestrians, it's crazy how they can pay no attention and stand in the middle street.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your fantastic review!
We're delighted to hear you had such a great experience exploring San Francisco and that you enjoyed the GPS-guided tour, the interesting commentary, and the friendliness of our team. We also appreciate your understanding during the busy check-in process.
If you visit us again, we'd love for you to try one of our electric vehicles, such as the E-Sport, and experience our popular Over the Golden Gate Bridge Tour. It's a fun and comfortable way to explore even more breathtaking views while enjoying a different driving experience.
Thank you again for your recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back for another GoCar adventure! 🚗🌉⚡

Booked on a whim. It was fun to see the sights from a different place and level. Weather was great as well.
It was fun to see at a different level and view. GPS was helpful. Only complaint is made turn directions a little late at times, but all worked out in the end.
Operator response

We’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience—perhaps our popular Over the Bridge Tour or our All Day Special, giving you even more time to explore San Francisco at your own pace.

Fun way to see San Francisco
What a fun way to see the city! The route was easy to follow and hit many beautiful and interesting areas. The car was easy and fun to drive, although a bit of a tight fit for 2 adults. The audio guide was good, however the map on the screen was almost impossible for the driver to see. The staff was helpful and the check-in/check out process simple.
We really recommend this for anyone looking for a fun way to explore SF. We are locals from the East Bay and really enjoyed seeing the City in this way for our anniversary outing.
Operator response
Thank you so much for celebrating your anniversary with us and for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your partner enjoyed discovering San Francisco from a different perspective and found the route easy to follow, fun, and full of beautiful and interesting sights.
We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the screen visibility for the driver. We’re glad to hear our team made the check-in and check-out process simple and that you had a great time behind the wheel.
On your next visit, we invite you to come try one of our newer vehicles, such as the ZeroMax or E-Sport, or take the wheel of our popular and sporty Slingshot for a whole new San Francisco adventure!

Little Yellow Blast
The GoCar Tour was super fun and unique. We did the 3 hour option which was a bit much for us. We would have been fine with 2 hours. We saw tons of great sites, more than we could have seen on our own. The ‘cars’ actually operate like a motorcycle as far as steering and accelerating so the breaking is done with hand brakes.
There were some spots that were tricky as you can’t reverse without getting out of the car and pushing
It backwards. . This activity is not for the timid as you’re on the main streets with normal traffic. The max speed for the GoCars is 30 mph which is the speed normal vehicles can go but the regular vehicles are so much larger.
Overall, great experience. Lots of fun.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your experience on the Early Bird GoCar Tour. We’re glad to hear you had a fun and unique adventure and enjoyed seeing so many great sites around San Francisco.
We appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the tour length and the driving experience. Our GoCars are designed to operate like scooters for a more open and interactive city experience, and we understand it can feel a bit challenging in certain traffic situations.
We’re happy to know you overall had a great time, and we hope to welcome you again for another ride in the future.

Great way to see San Francisco
We thoroughly enjoyed the drive around the city. Was nice to have no pressure to meet a schedule, skipping things we weren’t interested in while staying as long as we liked at others. The electric two seater we chose, with side by side seats, was perfect. Car selection can be confusing as they offer quite a few. Make sure you know what you are booking because you’ll start the paperwork all over if you change. The little yellow one is small and noisy, we felt the upgrade was worth it. NOTE, there is an electric two seater with front and back seat, not side by side. Also, be prepared for a little paperwork and a safety video, takes about 30 minutes to be on the road. Would do it again.
Operator response
Thank you for the thoughtful review! 😊
We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the flexibility of exploring San Francisco at your own pace and that the side-by-side electric vehicle was a great fit for your adventure. Thank you as well for sharing helpful tips for future guests regarding vehicle selection and the check-in process.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back for another GoCar adventure in San Francisco — or at our other locations in Monterey, San Diego, Las Vegas and Washintong! 🚗✨

GO!
We had such a great day! Wasn’t sure what to expect as we’d been on two other types of tours. However, the freedom to choose stops on your tour & routes that really interest you made the experience stand out. We would definitely go again. Our day was rainy but the car was warm & cozy. We found new spots we’d like to explore further. The staff were a pleasure to work with. Definitely plan to go again and again as well as recommend to friends & family!
Operator response
