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 minutes

  • Golden 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 minutes

  • Lombard 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 minutes

  • Fisherman's Wharf (Pass By)

    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 minutes

  • Presidio 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 minutes

  • Fort 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 minutes

  • Crissy Field (Pass By)

    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.

  • Golden Gate Park

    A natural and cultural center, Golden Gate Park spans almost half the length of San Francisco, and is home to the Conservatory of Flowers, California Academy of Sciences, deYoung Museum, Japanese Tea Garden, Stow Lake and the Buffalo Paddock.

    1 hour

  • Legion of Honor (Pass By)

    View the Rodin Sculpture "The Thinker" outside the beautiful Legion f Honor Museum.

  • Sutro Baths

    Sutro Baths are all that remains of what was once a popular SF natatorium that was destroyed in a fire. A hauntingly beautiful spot to view the North Pacific Ocean.

We loved this ! The cars are great and we had the best time doing this trip definitely recommend and would love to do it again

Best fun in SFO

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely one of the best tours ever had! So much fun. The guys in the office are so friendly and accommodating.

Super experience in SF!

Published on Nov, 2024

Awesome experience! The Go Car is easy to drive and very fun! Just consider it is small and it does not have a lot of space to store things. GPS is easy to use and the tours are very interesting! You can go around the city and discover new places! It's an unique way to explore and discover the city you must try it!

A great way to see SF!

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a great way to see the city. The route is excellent and you get a very good feeling for the vibe of SF. We’ve been to SF at least a hundred times and this route found places I’d never seen before. If you’re new to SF, I highly recommend it. The only downside is that the cars are pretty small so it’s very cozy. Many of them are pretty old and beat up but they work fine. The staff is another matter. They are not at all welcoming and seemed bored with the job. The AI narrator for the video is lame. Bottom line, great way to see the city but the staff needs to seriously improve their skills when it comes to customer engagement. They need to make it fun as soon as you arrive.

Worth the Money!

Published on Nov, 2024

We did the 3 hour GoCar San Francisco tour and it was a fantastic way to see tons of sights in a new city without the hassle of finding parking! All of the stops are preloaded and you can just skip whatever you're not interested in seeing.
