Haight-Ashbury: Tours & Tickets

So if you book your tour through this site, a few things to know - the "3-hour rental" is not actually a 3-hour rental of the GoCar, it's the "accessibility" of the car from 9am to 12pm. But the office in SF doesn't open until 9am, then you have to fill out waivers and other paperwork, then wait in line, then watch a safety video, then get fitted for helmets, and if you're lucky, you'll be in your GoCar by 10am. The GPS-guided route we took was super fun and informative, and allowed us to see things in SF in a memorable way. Remember to bring an extra sweatshirt as there's typically a marine layer along the coast that can make it pretty chilly in the morning. The route was long, even without stopping, so we didn't get back to the drop off until after 12:00. We would've had to pay extra but the manager waived it for us since we had such a late start (thank you!). I would do this activity again but will probably rent for the day next time so we won't be pressed for time.

Our guide “Ro” was so kind and informative. Perfect size bus. Every stop was well timed, his recommendations for our stay in the city were spot on. It was a perfect first day in the city and going to Muir Woods was magical and spiritual. My only suggestion for making this tour beyond awesome would be to add another 1/2 hour for the Muir Woods portion. The stop in Saulsolito was perfect including the deli recommendation. Just 30 more minutes in the Woods would be perfection. And the sound track coming back from the Woods was a great touch!

This tour went behond my expectations. During the tour we will watch more than 20 movie clips related to the spot where the bus will pass. The whole experience is extremely well organized and funny. The best part is the guide herself. She will make sure you will not get bored. She truly loves what she is doing. Time will go by so fast as she is such a cheerful and professional guide. Stop your endless search for a tour and don’t miss the opportunity to book this one. You won’t regret.

We had a rough start in the beginning trying to figure out how to use the GoCar, but San Francisco's drivers seemed rather patient with us as we were getting our bearings, so it felt very safe. The GPS guide was fun to follow too, and we learned a lot about San Francisco's landmarks along the way. My advice would be to go for the all-day package and start in the morning so you can have all day to spend time at all the sights for as long as you want and at your own pace.

We all loved this tour (two adults and three teenagers). It was a fantastic way to experience a lot of a wonderful city and to link the sights with so many great movies. Our guide was very knowledgeable and good fun too so it didn’t matter whether we knew all of the movies or not. The stops were a lovely touch and Fort Point was amazing. Bring something warm to wear for this part! Thank you very much for many wonderful memories!
