Perfect team building experience

Published on Oct, 2024

We were beyond thrilled with this experience for our international team to experience San Diego. There was 40 of us in 20 cars, we didn't have a single complaint. Our team would easily do this again if we ever have the pleasure of being in the area again in the future.

Original means to discover San Diego

Published on Oct, 2024

Nice welcome, clear explanations, with a slight weight of humour. Wha t to ask more ? May be just the fact that the goCars are quite noisy and providing some ear protections could be a good thing. Anyway, it is a fun means to discover the city

Super fun day!
