Do you have to stay on the tour?

What To Expect

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.

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!

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.

Fisherman's Wharf

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.

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!

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.

Crissy Field

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.

Legion of Honor

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.

Very reasonably priced for a day of at-your-own-pace exploring of the best of the city sights. The cars are road friendly and make it easier than deciphering public transportation maps or using taxis to explore. We parked/stopped along the route at many locations to take pictures or a quick walk around. This is the way to see the city. Definitely choose one of the longer tours for a more well-rounded introduction to San Francisco. (I had lived in the city for 3 months before exploring with GoCar on a family visit and I was able to see places I hadn't even heard about!). Chris and Nick at the Beach St. location were very enjoyable and especially helpful in getting us ready for our adventure. Definitely would try this in another city!

Rented a GoCar in San Francisco last week. Planned on doing the most popular 2 hour tour but ended up keeping the car for 7 hours. Saw most of the sites in a day and had a blast. Was able to park like a regular car, get out, do shopping and get a bite to eat. Chris and Nick set up us up and checked us out. They were very helpful and gave us some suggestions on what to see.

My wife and I just did our third GoCar tour of San Francisco. It such a fun way to tour the city! The GPS system gives a great tour with interesting facts and stories, just like you might expect on one of those tour buses. However, it has some big advantages over other tours. 1) You can stop anywhere you'd like. See a great photo opportunity? Want to get out and explore for a bit? You can do that in a GoCar, but not in a tour bus. 2) You can go places the bus can't. Driving down Lombard street is a blast and way better than just looking at it through the tour bus window! There are several other points on the tour you won't see from the bus. 3) It's a lot more fun. It feels a bit like driving a go-cart through the streets of San Francisco, yet it always feels safe. Everyone at GoCar has always been helpful. Niall and Chris checked us out this time and gave us some good tips before we took off.
