Fun/scenic/informative - Excellent and helpful staff. The car/cart was fun and easy to manage. The voice guide was easy to follow and informative too. It was fun and informative. It's worth it.

"Thrilling SF Tour with Amazing Sights - This was so much fun. We got the faster one and got to see so many cool sights in SF. The audio was good and informative. Be sure to watch the time. If you are with 2 ppl one should drive there and the other drive back. Dont swap half way through.

Absolutely awesome!!! So much laughter! - SO MUCH FUN!!! The guided tour is great and it still allows you the option to check something out on your own that may not be on the tour. Fair warning, my SO is 6’3” which is the height limit for the car and he did just OK on the comfort scale so something to think about.

3rd times a charm!!! - This is the 3rd time we've done the Gocars, we absolutely LOVE doing them! We did the 3hr Blue Line tour. It's just such a nice, relaxing, fun way to tour the city and learn so much along the way! And other drivers (real cars) are so friendly when you're out there driving around. People often ask you questions if you're at a stop and have gotten out to check things out. I'm sure we will do it again!!!

Amazing GoCar Site-seeing excursion! - My family and I rented these GoCars on 19 Aug 2024 (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) The cars are outfitted with small navigation tablets, preloaded with different 1-hour to 4-hour routes. We had plenty of time to follow the routes and see all the sites. They have two pickup locations to choose from: Fisherman's Wharf, and Union Square. We picked up from the Fisherman's Wharf location on Beach St. Before we arrived, we completed the required online safety waivers. Upon arrival the vehicles were clean, full of gas, and ready to go. We had to attend a short 5 minute presentation/safety briefing before leaving. We were issued safety helmets and a map. We spent the first 4 hours touring the northern part of the city & Fisherman's Wharf. After this, we returned to the pick up spot and they refilled our GoCars (fuel included in the rental costs). We then spent the next 3-4 hours exploring the southern half of the city including Twin Peaks. The vehicles performed flawlessly and we were able to climb any hills we attempted although I'm sure there are some so steep the GoCar wouldn't make it. The tablet also gave an audible, running historical narrative tour as we drove! We've been to San Franciso many times and visit at least once a year, but this was our first time on GoCars and we had so much fun we will add this cool excursion every time we come. Our four adult children absolutely loved it! These cars are so small we were able to find parking everywhere we went and even shared parking spots by squeezing multiple GoCars into the same parking spots. This tour is amazing and we highly recommend it to everyone.

Great experience. - Great time! 4 star because we had the 3 hour tour and the 1st 2 hours were great then we had to drive thru city traffic which put us a half hour behind and really didn’t see much at all in that 1.5 hours. Also, the scavenger hunt says you need 7 finds for gift certificate, there were not even 7 offered and we went on every offered options for the red line. We found 5 and got some stickers and a cheap key chair.

dangerous and unsafe - I felt that it was very dangerous being the fact that the car didn't reverse and that the Waze didn't reroute me if I made a wrong turn
