GoCar 2Hr Tour: Downtown & Old Town

Overview

You will start in historic Little Italy that was home to the Italian community, and see how it evolved into the modern business and artistic community it is today. Make your past the ships in the bay that explored the new world, or patrolled the waters in time of war, into the Gaslamp Quarter which was once San Diego’s red-light district and see how it got re-imagined into the social scene it is today. As you leave modern San Diego you will begin your trip into history as you make your way through beautiful Mission Hills, you will pass many houses and businesses 50 years old and some much older. Your jump into history will take you past Historic Fort Stockton, into Presidio Park where the old Spanish Mission used to stand, into Old Town San Diego where you can see how San Diego looked in the old west with its Spanish and American residents forming a thriving community.

We did the 2 hour tour and had such a fun time! It’s a great way to tour the city and hear little tidbits of history. Do it early in your trip so you have time to go see all the cool stuff they point out! (I did this in SF and had so much fun I did in SD too!)

It was the best way to see San Diego. We had a great time with the family.The narrator gave detailed information and good directions.

Great time. GPS could be a bit hard to understand but easy to get back on track. Highly recommend to see a bit of everything
