Excellent way to quickly learn about the city!

5.00This is an excellent way to see the city of San Diego! We chose the 2 hour tour which took us all through downtown, Hillcrest, Old Town, Balboa Park, etc. The staff at the office were so kind and patient with us. There were 4 of us, myself, my husband and our 2 children (11, 13), so we had 2 gocars. My husband was in the yellow one, and I am bigger in the middle, so I opted to upgrade to the electric car, because it was easier for me to get in and out of it. The electric car was very fun to drive! I think I liked it more than my husband liked the yellow car, but we had a great time. I would recommend the electric upgrade, but that's just me. You learn a lot about the history and layout of the city and how things came to be. I would very much recommend this tour and we look forward to doing it again in other cities!!!
This was so fun!! I was...

5.00Doing the Early bird trip saves money and also allows you to finish before the midday sun is burning you. San Diego is a large city and so no walking tour with cover it all, and being inside a bus is never as good as the open air. So this tour allows one driver one photographer and GOCAR your trusty story teller and navigator. Great way to see a lot of the city. Just remember to stop when GoCar is giving a in death history lesson or she cuts off to the next direction!
