Thankfully we had been provided maps and an overview of the route. This made it fairly easy to find the right road to get back onto. As far as learning about the city- that part just wasn’t working at all.”

San Diego is a large city and so no walking tour with cover it all, and being inside a bus is never as good as the open air. So this tour allows one driver one photographer and GOCAR your trusty story teller and navigator. Great way to see a lot of the city. Just remember to stop when GoCar is giving a in death history lesson or she cuts off to the next direction!”

Thanks for our young adults in the group who keep us on track when lost (computer shabby). So follow the GPS if you're alone. We were late to pick up our whole day ride paid, but if not then we could have more fun... It's our fault. This is best way to visit San Diego tourist spot. What a great experience. Thank you very much”
