GoCar: The Storytelling Car

Throw your maps and guidebooks aside, as a new and exciting sightseeing option is hitting San Diego’s bustling tourist industry by storm. As the world’s first GPS-guided storytelling car, GoCar Tours is helping tourists and locals effectively discover more reasons why San Diego’s landmarks and weather are world-renowned. Combining GPS technology and miniature open-top yellow cars that narrate fun and educational stories as renters drive, the GoCar offers unique entertainment and a chance to confirm why Time Magazine called it “one of the most amazing inventions of the year.”

Launching in San Francisco in 2004 and spreading to Miami Beach, Lisbon, Barcelona, and, thankfully, San Diego by 2006, GoCar Tours gives sightseers the opportunity to bond with each unique city. GoCar San Diego offers multiple individual or group options with tours ranging from 1 to 5 hours. Some featured San Diego tour hotspots are the Historic Gaslamp Quarter, Balboa Park, Little Italy, Seaport Village, Cabrillo Monument and other main or quirky San Diego attractions as well as incredible views of San Diego.

GoCar Tours San Diego provides group or corporate packages for five or more cars that inspire teambuilding and bonding. Tours have a scavenger-hunt option where participants can let their competitive nature loose. The scavenger hunt even inspires participates to occasionally get out of the car to search for clues. These group tours are also perfect for family functions such as birthdays, weddings, and graduations. During this holiday season, GoCar Tours San Diego group bookings are discounted up to 50%.
