Kelvin has great customer service and above all patients 😀 👍. The video was helpful and Kelvin broke down everything and even took pics for us. We had a memorable Go Car ride experience last night during our night tour. Follow the GPS instructions and you'll be great. Would suggest this to anyone who wants to see San Diego at night we had an awesome time.

Soooo much fun. Easy navigation. Safe. If you are new to San Diego or it is your first trip, take this excursion first because it will show you all around. Then you will know where you want to visit later. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Mind you, we are in our mid 60s. Never too old!

The go cart was amazing the GPS that provide four different tours to take was great. It was like a private tour guide that gave us info as we drove on the guided tour with detail info. What to look at where we should stop to enjoy where the bathrooms were to use. We drove around 78 miles around San Diego. Downtown, the water front, up in the mountains area where zoo was located,, the beautiful local park, and the beautiful beaches. Thank You for an amazing experience.

This was such a cool way to see the city! We were a little nervous at first, but they made it so easy to get started and move around (you do not get on the freeway if that is something you would be worried about). Make sure you bring your sunscreen and avoid hats that can fly off your head.

We recently visited San Diego for the first time. We started our trip with a GoCar Tour. It was the best way to see some of the sites and learn about some of the city’s history. Not to mention they were a blast to drive! I would highly recommend taking the GoCar Tour! The GSP was so easy to follow too. We would definitely do this tour again!
