We had 3 couples go on this excursion together while in San Diego. The GPS navigation made it so simple to follow the planned route through San Diego and Balboa Park. We would highly recommend this adventure to anyone wanting to explore the city in a fun and exciting way. The associates who checked us in/out were very knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we fully understood how to operate the go car and navigation system before we took off. Great trip!

I was not sure what to expect but the service and the self guided tour was great! Wish we had more time to enjoy it but overall worth the time and cost. You get to learn and see areas of San Diego that you may have missed.
Overall Great experience

Amazing experience. I could not recommend more. The whole family didnt want it to end even after two hours. One of those experiences I would have done if the price was double.
