We did the gaudi tour of 3 hours and we really liked it. Not only do you get a good look of the city and many of its sights, you also go up the mountain where you get the most beautiful look of the entire city and beach. The audio tour was interesting and the GPS was very clear to follow. Moreover it is fun to drive such a small kart, after you get used to it :)

Great way to see the city, little Electric cars with GPS map of all the significant sights to see. Talking GOS explains history of locations and factoids. Fun day and an affordable way to see alit and not be tied to a large group. You get to go your own pace, stop when you wish. Tons of fun. Go for it!!

Thank you very much for your comment.
Since March 2019 we have been giving to GoCar is true value. Of course, everything is not perfect. But does the perfect really exist? In any case, we try to offer you the best.
Since a few months ago we are receiving good comments and this is a very good sign.

Very friendly staff, good service and nice scootercars.
We rented two cars for 3 hours and we got to see a lot of Barcelona within a quite short period of time.
They were very fun to drive in, for a very reasonable price. The music system in the car was easy to use and was a very nice touch.

Got to see a lot of the city in a short time but was quite frustrating in a few ways.
Car is v small, I am 1.85m and it was a real struggle to fit into the car and was very uncomfortable to be in for 3 hours.
Taking in the sites is quite hard as you are too busy trying to figure out what lane to be in and what way you are supposed to be going, can be a bit hectic. In our case this was compounded by a faulty GPS on the car that meant we were getting wrong directions at times. When we told the management about this at the end of the trip they were less than helpful and went on the defensive to avoid giving us a refund.
Overall I would not recommend this

Fantastic experience which absolutely made the holiday. The staff member getting us started was incredibly friendly and helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, we saw so much of Barcelona which we might not have seen had we been walking! Great fun driving the cars too. Boyfriends highlight of the holiday. Lovely stops for drinks suggested by tour guide too.

So we just got back from our trip to Europe. We took a 12 day cruise and spent a day at the beginning and end of our trip in Barcelona. My friend (who we were traveling with) convinced me that a good way to see the highlights of Barcelona would be to rent a Go Car. She came to this conclusion based on the many positive review on this sites and others of it’s kind. Although apprehensive about the thought of driving in Barcelona traffic with a scooter like car, I agreed and we got our international driving permit at AAA (make sure to have this or if stopped by police you could be fined) the day we left for Barcelona. We rented 4 cars (each holds 2 people). Our group was composed of 5 adults and 3 kids 12 and under. The theory of this experience is that you have a talking tour guide with a GPS system that tells you where to go and what you are seeing. The audio is supposed to start as soon as you leave the garage, however, 2 of the cars had complete silence. I followed the other cars (who didn’t know that I had no audio) until I lost them at a light. Then I pulled over and waited for the 4th car whose audio also was not working, After hitting the dash it went on. I followed that car for most of time I was in the Go car but had no idea what I was seeing. We decided to head back to the garage, however, there was no function to just get directions back without going through the course, so we drove around lost in Barcelona for over 2 hours. When we returned, we were frustrated, scared and upset. The first response of the manager was that we had their car all day and there was nothing they would do and why didn’t we have a good time, our friends said they did. I guess if the cars were in working order the experience might have been different. We ultimately (after much arguing) got a refund on my car and 50% back on my husband’s car since he spent the whole time trying not to lose me. We also had prepaid and they had charged us again because they didn’t notice that we had prepaid. After a few phone calls back and forth afterwards we rectified that. When our friends finally returned, we found out that even though they had a working GPS system they were pretty much lost in Barcelona as well and were just as upset. She seemed to have many of the same issues as we did. Even when the GPS system was working it routed us down one way streets and into plazas we should not have been driving in. In fact when we were lost looking for the garage or home as the GPS refers to it, we were in the middle of a plaza and would have gotten a ticket from the police if a nice woman who spoke both English and Spanish had not explained our situation. By the way there, are two separate locations referred to as home and there’s no way to have it get you to the particular one that you want.
My recommendation is to pass on renting these cars. Locals seemed to be annoyed that we were on the road, people were laughing as we drove by because we were very obviously tourists and the cars are not in good working order. In fairness they did end up refunding most of our money but that was after much argument and after double charging us to begin with.

We decided to take a tour with GoCar since it was advertised as a convenient way to see a range of landmarks through a guided tour. However, we were very disappointed.
The GPS system they use (their own) is horribly misguiding; the navigation icon does not rotate, meaning that it does not show you which direction you are going, until the map moves and you realise that you've missed your turn or have gone the opposite direction.
There was also a supposed to be voice guidance to complement the navigation screen, which the shop assistant informed us was at full volume before we left the shop. However, this was inaudible even when we were waiting in traffic, let alone driving the car's loud engine.
We basically spent the entire trip trying to figure out for ourselves where we were going, wasting a lot of time in the process, since their was no guidance from the GPS system whatsoever.
We eventually managed to get back to the shop thanks to a function which guides you back to the shop (which funnily enough actually works properly, since it runs on Google Maps). We raised our complaint to the staff, who did not take it well. Rather than addressing the utterly poor navigation system, the guy in charge said that we should have called them during the trip.
Despite explaining that we could not do so since we were driving and we couldn't find anywhere to park legally, he simply kept on repeating the same thing and actually said that this was "our problem". I still could not understand how he proposed to help us should we have called, since he acknowledged that the system was designed that way and that it was working as intended.
Considering that the main users of this service are tourists (who would be unfamiliar with the streets of Barcelona), one would expect a decent GPS system and that the service providers would understand this. However, this was not the case.
We realised that the representative was not interested in customer satisfaction, but rather in holding onto profits. Definitely would not recommend; better to just rent a car.

Simple... don’t do it. I should have listened to the reviews. My fault there. We paid for a full day and last 20 minutes. The car stalled out 3 times in the middle of major roads. My wife was scared to death. I had people on the street run to help push the car out of the road. I have never been more upset about a tour. When we returned the main guy at the desk couldn’t be any more rude. He laughed at the idea of a refund and now I am dealing with the website to get anything back. I am a sweaty mess and half the day is ruined. The car was awful and the the guy working there was worse.
Don’t do it!

We had a group of 4 people. The intro video they make you watch shows helmets, but now you don't get them. We had 2 cars, one of which killed at every stop, and took forever to accelerate. The GPS is awful, pointing that you are going in some strange direction, and not the direction you are going. The GPS is also off by half a block, so you think you are turning at the next intersection, and you missed it. You can't see the GPS if you are wearing Polorized sunglasses at all, because of the cheap screens they have. They refused to refund when we returned after less than 30 minutes. Streets in Barcelona have been permanently near La Sagrada Familia closed for more than 3 months, yet the route they send you on takes you through the closed streets. The audio didn't work in either car. So no tour information.
Overall experience:
We arrived, they were nice.
We took off, the cars did not perform as described.
We returned 28 minutes later, they offered no refund for our 3 hour tour experience, but we could get new cars, but they would have to be back before they closed at 7, which would give us less than 2-1/2 by the time they got the new cars set up.
They didn't care, no sympathy, and 2 of the guys were laughing when we complained, while the ladies at the dest listened and made a call, then informing us of no refund.
Stay away from this place. It sounds like fun, but it was terrible. Over the course of 3 days in Barcelona we only saw one of these cars driving around outside of the 2 we had. We had to help them get their GPS to take them back as they had a bad experience as well.
When we gave up 15 minutes into our not working tour, we hit the home button on the GPS unit in the car (upper right corner). That was the only time our GPS worked like it should, although it still had no sound.
Please look at how many reviews I have, and how many places I have been. This was the worst tour, or rental of any type I have ever had in my life. Anything is a better choice than GoCar Barcelona.

We thought this would be a great way to get round the city & get a good tour in an enjoyable way. Which by all rights it was. I took us round the city & was great. However when we booked it online no mention of a deposit was made & when we arrived we were told we needed to put down a €300 deposit. Obviously we didn't have the kind of cash on us so we had to put it on our debit card. Before doing this we were assured that when we returned & the €300 was returned it would be back in our account within 10 mins. This didn't happen, we are now 5 days on & we still haven't had it back yet. As you can imagine this made money for our holiday a little tight as €300 is no small amount of money. It would be fine if the members of staff hadn't of said that it would be back immediately as we wouldn't have done it. Just beware of this when doing it as it could have ruined our holiday if we didn't have savings. Just hoping now that my partner gets his money back.

Yep they’re only 2 seaters. But still so much fun
Interested in booking a go car for me and my partner. Do I have to buy 2 tickets or is it just the one as it's a 2 seater car?

You need to buy 2.
They will also ask u for a deposit on your card of , I think its £300, which is refundable. Also an additional 10 euro .
It's lots of fun,
Is it easy to park and get out to sight see?

We did this tour in Barcelona.
I'm pretty sure this company weren't in Portugal but there is a company who do have these great little 3 wheeler motorbikes and with a tour operator which if I remember correctly wasn't expensive and was great because they took us all over and we could just sit back and enjoy the scenery. Although we did that one in Porto which is a hour and half train from Lisbon.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful:)
