This tour is a lot of fun. We had 2 cars in our group. One car had a side view mirror that would not stay in the correct position. Every time you hit a bump it would move. The second car had a gps that had a mind of its own and stopped working so they had to follow the other car. When we tried to tell the staff of the few issues we experienced it fell on deaf ears. They could care less. We picked the cars up from the Union Square location.

Fun thing to do. There is no special lane for these cars so you need to be really careful in traffic. Staff at the Union Square location not at all helpful when we tried to tell them about a few issues...gps that stopped working etc. Get the higher insurance..I think it was 25.

The door it’s self was very nice the experience of driving a go cart around was great the only thing I didn’t like was the guy at the pick up place near Hilton he was in a rush and a little bit rude

This was the best tour we've ever done. It was so unique in it's approach to seeing San Francisco and driving throughout the whole city was terrific! The GPS guide system needs to be refined, but this was such a great idea it's hard not to smile the whole trip.

Make sure you have an extra layer of clothing. It gets cold. Otherwise, a great way to see the city.

This was an amazing way to see all that San Francisco has to offer! We rented to GoCar for the day and did the full route. We even had enough time for photo ops, lunch at the Cliff House amazing BTW and some shopping.

No explanation needed! This was so super fun but I couldn't enjoy the commentary on the tour because I had to pay attention to directions. Was late getting back bc I got off course but the company didn't charge extra.. this was so cool!

This tour was AMAZING!!!! The Go Cars were a great and extremely fun way to see the city! Ray, the manager , at the Warf location, was really nice and extremely helpful. The GPS guided tour was informative and funny. I would recommend this tour to everyone!!!
 

Review by:   Lisa F,    January 2017 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
The gps needs adjusting as most of the time I was told to turn or get into another lane with no time to do so!! It made for some tricky maneuvering or going around the block. Need a little more room between driver and passenger as passenger gets jabbed or sits in uncomfortable way so driver can make turns and use right side of steering.

What a blast to zip around in these cute little cars! I have been to San Fran many times, but learn new things and saw places I would've never seen if we had not used GoCar!

Review by:   Alex,    September 2016 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
It was good but the sat Nav shuts off if you take a wrong turn you cannot see it. It has been built in to the car underneath but the bike is so loud it is hard to here !! Bit disappointing as spend most your time trying to go though the map and most streets are one way. Hired a bike after this was must better and cheaper.

So much fun!!! Totally unique way to see popular areas of San Francisco. Someone recommended it to us and we recommended it to our friends on Facebook. Wish there were more places in the USA that offered this type of tour.
 

Review by:   Daniel B,    September 2016 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
GoCar Tour is worth doing however I found the GPS system very temperamental as it kept cutting out and as a result causing us to get lost in San Francisco. I was also not impressed when I returned the car back to union square as I told the staff member the issues I had been having and all he was interested in was getting the money off me for the enhanced insurance which I decided to take out. Not really good customer service if you ask me!

One of the speakers in our car was out - it was very difficult to hear the narrator and the GPS. This really impacted our experience. We told the employees at the Union Station location about the speaker being out. Their lack of trying to fix this for us was very disappointing. Not sure I'd recommend this company again.

we had great fun! if you want to do the 2 hour really not much time to stop and wander around. worked for us, but, just as a heads up!

This was a great way to see so much of the city. Started out booking for 2 hrs and went a full 3! Such fun._br/_ The GPS and guided talking tour was well done. I would highly recommend a GoCar Tour!
 

Review by:   Kristin Y,    June 2016 Review: 1 star rating: I do not recommend this
It's very scary because you are on city streets in a tiny car. It's hard for other cars to see you on the road because you are so low to the ground. There is no special route for this car. You just get in the lanes with the normal size cars / buses/ trucks.
 

Review by:   Jacqueline M,    May 2016 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
We hired the gocar through viator and this was one of the most fantastic and fun ways to view the city. We arrived and had a safety briefing before Servio showed us how to drive. We drove around the block to ensure we were comfortable before starting our 1 hour tour. The directions are clear and concise and allowed us to travel around the city seeing the major sites of pier 39, fishermans wharf, little Italy and china town. If you are looking for a fun way to tour this is a must!

There were MANY hidden charges and after sitting waiting for the employees to check us in I was labeled LATE on my return of 2 cars and charged 44.00 for 2 minutes of being late, for 2 cars!! So, 88.00 for the employees doing. We were also supposedly upgraded but then charged for each car anyways....total rip off! I bought it through Travelzoo and NOTHING said extra charges..yet I paid well over 250.00. In addition, they charge/ hold 150.00 on your card which you won't see again for at least a day...that was 300.00 for us!! Not Happy!!!! The actual ride was fun, thank god!

The crew was great getting us checked in, the ride was so much fun. It would be great if when you get off course the GPS recalculated, but it doesn't, just silence so use the map!! Will do this again!!

My daughter drove, I navigated. Starting off we thought, are we crazy?.. Then we got the hang of it..the GPS was great, kept us from making wrong turns. Great way to see the city..even backing up by getting out and pushing was a kick!

We had a great time. The staff were friendly and very accommodating and helpful. Please fix the small mechanical difficulties with the audio for the GPS and the rattling of the car when idling. Otherwise it was a blast! Recommend it. To al

My husband and I loved the tour. This is a great way to see the entire city at your own pace. I would definitely recommend getting the car the whole day. For those worried about safety, we had no issues. For the most part you can stay out of people's way and I loved the commentary with the GPS to learn about the city.
 

Review by:   Wombat,    August 2015 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
This was fun and the views of the city were wonderful. The employees at the midtown location were knowledgeable and helpful. However, my sister is 5'2 and was wildly uncomfortable as she had to sit with straight legs. You drive the vehicle like a motorcycle with hand gears. It was daunting getting out of the City. I helped by reading a map to find where we were. It would be difficult to have a child as your passenger. But forewarned is probably forearmed. It was a great great tour of the city.

I THINK IS THE COOLEST THING EVER... Its really easy to drive. That's coming from someone who has never driven a scooter before. I Could have been better if it wasn't for the wrong turn we took that lead us to the Freeway, which they did tell us To AVOID. LOL. But that was our mistake haha. Other than , it was so much fun. Totally recommend it ! :

Rent from Beach St location and upgrade to the 150 cc engine. Ask for Dennis if you have any issues. At first we rented from Union Square. They gave us no options, no map, very poor service. About 45 minutes into our tour the radio shorted out. We returned it to Dennis and he saved the day.

I was so looking forward to this tour but was disappointed to find out how cramped we were in this car. We both tried to drive it but there was no elbow room. It was actually pretty dangerous. If you are only 1 person it might be comfortable. We had a 3 hour tour and had to cut it in half because we were a little afraid.

Car very small, if your over 5'6 really don't fit. Very shaky, hurts back,hands,and feet. No reverse so have to get out and push to turn around. Very cold with the wind on your face.

The car works great, but the GPS and Tour Guidance fails often. So expect to get lost and not learn a lot.

This was the best tour we did while we were in San Francisco. It was a lot of fun riding around in this little car and going to see the sites. Cyp was also a delight to work with.

You will need the 3 hour tour to see everything and their is time to stop and take pictures. If it is a windy day dress warm! I would do this in every city that has the Go Car!!!!!!
 

Review by:   Sharon F,    May 2015 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
It was fantastic. I loved the fact you did not have to stay on the GPS tour course. We made some side trips as we saw something interesting or had already seen something on the tour. One of the best parts was all of the waving between GoCar's and from people both walking and driving. We were even asked to be in other people's pictures. Glad we booked for 3 hours. One or even two hours would not have been enough time.
