About This Experience Gift

Discover Beautiful San Diego on a Private GoCar Tour
Enjoy a Narrated Trip and Learn Fun Facts About Iconic Sites
Cruise the Streets Traditional Tours and Tour Buses Can't Visit

Discover the thrill of riding in a GoCar - the world's first computer-guided storytelling car! This clever talking car navigates for you, but that's not all. As you drive, it points out the sights and tells you the stories that bring San Diego to life.

These cars are smart. An on-board computer and a GPS-system do the thinking so you can actually relax and take in the sights. Best of all, the adventure happens at your pace. You can stop for photos, take detours, grab a coffee and on the extended tours you can break for lunch. (You'll actually be able to park!) Or you can blaze your own trail and explore the city streets, neighborhoods and parks on your own.

GoCars and the cell house audio tour are available in several different languages including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. This experience is a great way to show your out-of-town friends around, learn a bit more about your own city, and if you're a visitor – there is simply no better way to experience San Diego.

Go Car Adventure

It was alot of fun cruising through San Diego and getting a history lesson too but it was very scary driving on some of the very crowded main streets since our speed was so much slower and our car would stall out at long signals. I would feel safer in smaller areas.

Silly at first but amazing time

My girlfriend and I did this for our anniversary and had a blast. It was silly at first because of the Go Car and what it looked like. After a few min of laughing it was just the best time. I recommend this to everyone that want to see San Diego in as different way.

Go Car Adventure in San Diego

What a blast. The vendor was excellent. Very helpful and friendly. We had so much fun driving the streets of San Diego. People stopped and looked at us, kids loved it. We felt like we were in a parade. The GPS was fantastic. You cannot get lost. The tour information was great. Anyone would love this adventure. Lots of fun! Book it!

It Broke, But Still Had Fun

Great fun for an hour, then the GPS device's speakers went out undoubtedly due to our failure to avoid several large potholes in the road, resulting in bone-jarring impacts that would break any electronics. So without the cool female voice (with a slightly corny sense of humor) telling us what we were looking at, we decided to return to the shop. They were very helpful and offered all kinds of creative ways to resolve the issue, so we chose to return another day, because my wife had so much fun! They gave us a brand new excursion with all time we spent refunded. It was great dealing with people who knew what they were doing and went out of their way to keep us happy. My wife really loved it and insisted on driving like a maniac, which made the experience a genuine adventure. Caveat: I wouldn't recommend this activity for larger people. I'm 6-4, 250 lbs, and these cars are just too small for us volume-challenged people. I still managed to squeeze in, though, and had a fun time, but an hour turned out to be plenty for me. Maniac woman, however, was game for more much more. I'm sure she'll be able to find a suitably insane companion for her next outing.
