Great time - Once you figure out how to get in and out of it, it was a great tour. GPS mapping worked and told you exactly how to get around. Saw things in 3 hours that you would see in one tour. Had a great day and I’m 65 years old!

Fun! - The tour was fantastic, definitely recommend going in a pair as the screen is on the right hand side and is much easier for the passenger to see in bright sun. The 'cars' are cosy and fun to drive, and it really is a great way to see the city. Good fun!

GoCar Tour is a BLAST! - We were I. San Francisco with our travel besties to celebrate a birthday and since this was my first non work related trip there,I searched for things to do for the 4 of us (all of us in our 60s, healthy) and this looked like fun so I booked us for the GoCars.
It was a BLAST! And sooo much fun - it was my fav part of the trip (surprising considering the amazing food we enjoyed).
Our husbands drove so we navigated when needed - the gps voice directions were terrific. If I have any helpful comment, pleeeease add a home button so it gets us right back from wherever we are (we had to stick to their routing carefully) and add a repeat button.
Other than that, the best PHOTOS of the city from a different point of view - there might have been a few wooooooohoooo’s from me as we drove through scintillating San Fran!
If your time and schedule permit, absolutely worthwhile!

Tour SF in an AWESOME EV! - We chose to pay the extra $50.00 for the electric Arcimoto scooter and we were SO HAPPY we did!
A couple years ago my wife and I did an SF GoCar tour in their regular 150cc side by side scooter and had a good time. It did struggle a bit up hills and made lots of scooter noise and exhaust *cough*, but overall the novelty of a side by side scooter self guided tour was fun.
Today a 4 hour tour in the Tesla of 3 wheeled motorbikes was 10x better! We legally didn't need helmets, could hear each other easily and loved the smooth quiet zippy power. At a stop light it's totally silent, you can hear comments like 'that's fire' and 'I like your car'. Visibility is great as you're sitting up at car level. The handling felt safe and stable too. We were out driving for the full 4 hours and still had only used 40% of the battery!
It may cost a little more, but opt for the electric Arcimoto if you can. Go green when you GoCar! A great tour got even greater.

Go Carts of San Francisco - Super fun and great way to experience San Fran with a self guided tour at your own pace adventure. GPS technology allows for the cart to take you all over San Francisco while educating you on sights you see along the way. This is an interactive experience that allows you to engage in a scavenger hunt of sorts for a $200 gift certificate if you complete all challenges. They do state that you will be fined for wear and tear on the vehicle if you go over certain speeds etc. they do not have the ability to track locations on any of the cars. Make sure to stay on the path. It is easy to get confused on some routes. Great time for all ages.
