The ride is fun, and it takes you to places that you wouldn't otherwise think of going! Definitely take the long tour because it's a lot to experience

Such Fun!

Checked in with the lovely Emma who gave us recommendation on the best route to take. We hired 2 cars for a group of 4. We had great fun and such a unique experience. However, make sure you wrap up as it gets especially chilly in San Fran. 1 of the cars had some technical issues and we lost the GPS so we are glad we had another car to follow. Great way to see San Fran and would recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear you and your group had such a fun and unique time exploring San Francisco, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with Emma. We’re sorry to hear that one of the cars experienced a technical issue and that you lost the GPS during your tour. We truly appreciate your understanding and are glad having the second GoCar helped you stay on track. And yes, San Francisco can definitely get chilly—layers are always a great idea when cruising around the City! We’d love to welcome you back and invite you to explore one of our other GoCar destinations, too! Come discover the unique sights of San Diego, Monterey, Las Vegas, or Washington with us on your next adventure.

They should choose electric vehicles; they are not noisy like gasoline ones, otherwise, highly recommended!!!
My experience wasn’t the...
eddie_n, Jun 2026
My experience wasn’t the best. Once arrived to the shop it was so unorganized. No customer service, no one offered help. I had to wait 30 mins after my appointment to be helped and I arrived 20 mins prior to my appointment. Finally when I get checked in, signed the waiver and watched the instructional video I was given keys. My experience on the GoCar sucked. The navigation didn’t speak out loud like it should’ve even though I stay on track. They said if you go off track it won’t speak but it didn’t speak while I was on track the entire time. We got lost then kept driving in circles. I booked a two hour trip but ended it after one hour because of the issues

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations and that you encountered delays during check-in as well as issues with the navigation system during your tour. This is not the level of service or reliability we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when it impacted your ability to enjoy the full experience. Your comments about the check-in process and audio navigation have been shared with our operations team for immediate review. We truly regret that your tour was cut short and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Itinerary
Palace of Fine Arts Theatre
The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. In addition to hosting art exhibitions, it remains a popular attraction for tourists and locals.
10 minutesGolden Gate Bridge
Certainly the most-photographed bridge in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge is synonymous with San Francisco. Drive up to the viewing area, or the foot of the bridge at Fort Point, to take pictures. You can take even better pictures at Baker Beach, a few minutes drive past the bridge!
20 minutesLombard Street
Nothing beats zooming down Lombard Street, San Francisco's "Crookedest Street" in your GoCar at the end of your tour. This is a great way to experience one of San Francisco's most iconic streets.
20 minutesFisherman's Wharf
Drive through San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf, passing the bustling Crab Shacks, Bakeries and Curio Shops on your way to Golden Gate Bridge. Don't forget to wave to the other visitors!
Ocean Beach
Look for sand dollars in the fog and take photos of Seal Rock as it juts out of the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Beach.
10 minutesPresidio of San Francisco
Some of the most beautiful views of San Francisco Bay are in the Presidio, a decommissioned military base that boasts beautiful architecture, a War Memorial, the Disney Museum and even a bowling alley! This area is just a 15 minute drive from Fisherman's Wharf, but feels like another world!
15 minutesFort Point National Historic Site
At the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point is both an excellent photo spot for the bridge and a fascinating monument to Gold Rush -era San Francisco.
10 minutesCrissy Field
Crissy Field is where San Franciscan's exercise and play. Wave to runners, soccer players and dog walkers as you zoom past beautiful views of the Bay on your way to the Golden Gate Bridge.
