Fun way to tour the city
Super fun and a must do way to tour the city. It’s a great way to get familiar with the area. We got a little off track and it took us a little longer than we had planned, but the company was super nice when we got back and understanding. We took teenage kids and they had a blast.

Fun experience
we had a fun and safe experience. The operators do a good job with informing you of what you need to look out for. The cars managewell out on street. It is quite bumpy though! We had a fun experience and an hour was more than enough. Be sure you complete your waivers in advance. It will ensure you start on time!!!

Amazing Experience

So So Experience
Ok experience. It was very stressful driving so you didn’t get a chance to enjoy the tour. There are no spots to stop and look and enjoy. The roads are rough so it’s not a smooth experience. It was fun, but probably wouldn’t return. You can’t see the GPS screen with sunglasses which isn’t helpful considering 1/2 the time gps gave you ample notice about turns and other times , it literally told you while in the middle of intersection.

A must do!
My favorite part of this experience is that you get to explore San Diego’s historical areas while enjoying the drive. We kept catching tourists eyes and were even asked a couple of times to take pictures. My only advice for future travelers is stay on the route, we got lost but even then we enjoyed the experience! :) Great customer service as well! Cassandra was awesome and had the best attitude. I would highly recommend this place.

Go Cars Experience
This was a fun experience. The only thing I would recommend is making the volume a bit louder. We could not hear the navigation tour guide because the car was so loud. Also, it would be a good idea to install flags on the back, this way it would alert other vehicles of the go cars location.
