Lots of fun! - Great tour! We saw a lot of the city is such a short time! Being a Monday in October, it wasn’t busy. We were able to keep the car for a little extra and take the longer tour, for only a little extra. The guy that checked us in and out was very helpful. Definitely would recommend this to others.

GoCar Tours so much fun! - So much fun! An awesome way to see the San Fran points of interest. The cart was easy to drive. And the roads aren’t that busy, making it really simple to get around. The guided tour was informative without being annoying. Staff were friendly and helpful at collection, safety briefing and return. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Happy Teen & Grateful Mama - We were greeted in an exception way upon arrival. The person behind the counter offered to charge my dead phone while we waited and was very polite. I took my 13yr old with me to tour the city. We saw plenty of amazing sights (some twice) and great people watching. We ended up turned around twice! We were behind schedule and I was panicking. I called customer service several times and they were very friendly, calm and knowledgeable about how to help navigate us back to the shop. We arrived very late (& frazzled and cold), the staff did not miss a beat welcoming us back warmly and sincerely. It made a huge difference on what I thought was turning out to be a disaster. The transaction was settled and we left just as happy as we were when we walked in. My kid told me the Go Car Tour was his favorite part of the trip! Thanks San Fran Beach St. Team!

It was really fun!! Got... - It was really fun!! Got to see a lot of cool places and nice buildings!!! Honestly tho, I don't think an hour is enough so you'd probably need a day pass

Tour 1 hra - We did the 1 hr tour, we didn't stop for photos at any point and yet we didn't arrive in a hr, the GPS marks lap where you can't, and if you go out of the way it doesn't tell you how to return, in general there's parent experience but they're not so comfortable to handle them long

Felt like a celebrity - Fun experience going through Fisherman’s warf area and China town. People take pictures of you like you’re a celebrity. You get good camera shots as you sit low to the ground. Only bad part was we lost GOS service because of the tall towers and when it came back on the navigation didn’t k ow where we were at yet. Told us to make a left which you couldn’t because it was a one way. Had to pull over and get us back on the guided tour which was a little scary. The navigation picked right back up when we got back on the course. Make sure you keep the paper map they give you and your phone is charged if you need assistance. You can stop and take pictures or walk around and take pics. The carts were all pretty beat up. We didn’t have any issues with the cart itself. Fun time, would do it again. Uncomfortable after an hour so either park and walk around or take a short tour.
