Fun and great to sight see - It was a fun experience. Unfortunately it's hard to do with a big group due to the traffic. I suggests smaller groups with maybe 2 cars. We had 4 cars and lost 2 of our cars. But overall we enjoyed the trip and would definitely do again.

Fun way to see San Diego - We received a very warm welcome and was soon on our way after a short introduction to the safety video and controls. The car is a but bumpy on the San Diego roads at times, but the tour was comprehensive and interesting. Driving the streets in such a small vehicle was never an issue with clear turn by turn instructions, other drivers were considerate and generally gave us plenty of space. I look forward to repeating the experience in another city.

FUN way to see San Diego - This was a great experience! The employees were thorough in explaining the experience. They were helpful & pleasant, treating us so well. This was our first time using GoCar and I highly recommend it. We would not have had this experience in learning about San Diego without it. I only have 1 suggestion. At the corner of Washington St where it is a bit difficult to know which way to go, have a metal sign made in yellow, saying “GoCar with an arrow” pointing to India St. (I believe that is the name), for the return on the 2 hour trip. All the other roads are easy to follow with the GPS. Thanks for an excellent experience on our trip to San Diego, celebrating 25 years of marriage!!

So fun! Don't miss out on the park! - We were under the impression that the car would drive itself but it does not. I can see how being in San Diego traffic would be intimidating for some people but Billy made sure we were well-informed and he set us completely at ease. He wanted us to have the best time ever so we really relaxed when he encouraged us to and it was SO FUN! We upgraded to the electric car which I highly recommend because it is much quieter and doesn't require a helmet - we are both a little hard of hearing but we had no trouble hearing the GPS instructions or the interesting facts about San Diego. What a gorgeous city! We took the 2 hour tour and it was just right for us. Don't miss out on the park.

Fun - Liked all of it. Wasn’t comfortable but that’s because I’m too fat. We had fun. I’d do it again, Easy to follow directions.

Goat tour a great time! - The gentleman who checked us in was very pleasant and thorough in his instructions. The GPS tour was fun and informative, and the directions were very easy to follow. That the tour also allows you to explore a bit on your own is fantastic as well. We both saw parts of San Diego we were unfamiliar with and would definitely recommend this tour!
