The GoCar Downtown & Gaslamp Quarter 1 hour tour was an absolute blast! We covered so much ground and got to see iconic sites and the historic Gaslamp Quarter—all while cruising around in the nifty GoCar.

Marcus H.

What a unique way to experience the city! The GoCar tour was an exciting adventure that allowed us to discover gems like Balboa Park and the Coronado Bridge. The freedom to stop and explore at our own pace was fantastic, and the views from Point Loma were simply breathtaking!

Maddie G.

Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting San Diego! The tour took us to some of the city's top landmarks! The GPS-guided narration was informative and made exploring these sites even more enjoyable.
