Downtown San Diego / Balboa Park Tour - We had the opportunity to take a tour as a family. We rented the GoCar Classic and the GoCar buggy. Touring the San Diego historical sites in the open air cars with the guided gps is the best way. Not only was our tour fun. We also learned so much about Downtown San Diego. We loved this tour so much. Real Family Adventures

An Unforgettable Birthday Adventure with GoCar! - We had an amazing ride today with GoCar in San Diego to celebrate our mother's birthday! The customer service was exceptional—everyone was friendly and helpful. The GPS was spot on, and even as locals, we discovered new and interesting facts about areas we thought we knew well. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to explore the city!

A blast - Great pics taken @ Balboa Park. A little uncomfortable with one section of ride with cars going pretty fast. All but one were courtesy. Side by side two seater was great ,easy to drive pretty smooth ride with the bumpy streets .

Fun activity while in San Diego - We booked ahead of time with Keoni who was super helpful & answered all of my questions. We selected the 2hour San Diego downtown and Balboa Park Classic Go Car tour. The app in the car tells you where to go and delivers interesting information about San Diego and buildings you pass. It was fun to do and easy to drive. People wave to you as you pass by. It was something different to try while in San Diego. Kelvin was in the office and provided instructions. He was the nicest, most helpful and kind employee. This place has good staff!

The Buggy Couple - Difficult time hearing the recording. Brought up the concern to Marlin and his customer service was top-notch. He listened, made excellent eye contact and offered solutions. Due to our experience with him is the reason we are giving a five star review. You have a keeper there!

Tour de San Diego - The navigation quit talking when we had to go off course due to road construction and we got lost. We used our phone navigation to find our way back, so it all worked out, but had to cut out a part of the tour due to the extra time spent finding the way back on course. Outside of that, had a great time! Next time we will go for the electric go cart as the gas powered go cart had no back up, so had to get out and push. I’m no spring chicken anymore 🫤. All in all a great way to see San Diego without having to pay for parking at every point of interest! 👍
