      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.

      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!!!

      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

      Best way to tour the city!
      This gps go car self drive tour was so fun! I drove one car with my child and my husband drove another car with our second child. Car was very easy to operate. This was by far the most fun way to sight see around town the city. The staff was super friendly and when one of our cars broke down they sent a new one over to our location as soon as possible so we could finish the tour. The owner was very nice and went above and beyond to make sure everyone could get a car.

      Amazing views
      The 1st 2.5 hours were amazing! The last hour took us through the town streets and although some of this was ok, it was a little slow going. The crooked street was great but the 45 minutes before that not so much. We ended up going over by 30 minutes, we got out 4 times along the way so that was on us.

      Enjoy San Francisco by mini cars
      Funny, entertaing, super views! Highly recommend. A family of six people, having a relaxing tour of a beautiful city. We choose a 3 h tour, but we could spend easily one more hour (for longer breaks).

      Good overall experience
      The GoCars are small and outdated, and the GPS was antiquated, the staff and check in experience were great but I suggest the upgrade to the larger electric vehicle

      If you are reading the reviews just BOOK IT. You only live once!
      If you are looking at reviews deciding if you want to do this DO IT! I will say my experience had it's fair share of issues but I called and they were helpful and cared. I think for myself I would totally just go all around San Francisco. We did the Muir Woods and over Golden Gate bridge. Traffic due to tree cutting and construction. We did the all day. I really wanted to see the sites around San Francisco. We didn't get to but will totally go another all day in town the next time we come. To the guy at the GoCar place Thank you for helping us and for everything. You made us feel so much better. The woman that answers the phone. Thank you for dealing with me. 1 thing I would recommend would be an added emergency adaptor so you can charge with any charger or use the charger at Muir Woods. I really hope to return to San Francisco and do the all day in town sight seeing. Also the navigation is wonderfully done. You only live once. Book it and enjoy!! Thank you guys!

      Excellent experience
      Except the person at the reception, the rest of the experience was great. We had a small issue with 1 of our gocars and the manager has been amazing, joining us to replace right away and extended our tour on a very fair way. He's been really understanding and we had an excellent time.

      Best tour guide ever
      So much fun, take all the time you need to enjoy your tour. Better than a tour bus and with a personnal guide. Several language available on the GPS and the tour guide.

    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.

    Very fun! Parks were beautiful and I got a kick out of seeing the houses featured in’Full House’. The people on the street got a smile out of seeing the gocart.

    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!

    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!

    This was the funniest , entertaining 4 hours of our visit in San Francisco! loved every minute of it, and would do it again in a heartbeat! we got to see everything we wanted to do, and much more. the GPS is fantastic as it keeps you on track! just amazing and definitely worth every penny!. as a female driver driving down Lombard street was an experience, that said its an experience we shall never forget

    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!

    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.
