A Day of Firsts - At first it was a bit hairy, since the car is basically a motorcycle with three wheels & I never rode a motorcycle before. But once I got the hang of it, the ride was so fun, I wished I booked a longer tour! I got a kick out of all the attention I was getting too! Shout-out to the staff and the fisherman who helped me figure out where the power switch was on the handlebar. 😊

Go Cars is a MUST! - We were late getting to the facility, delayed bc of a whale tour- but the crew made us feel welcome, no problem that we were late. He was super friendly, lots of smiles, showed us a safety video, gave us helmets, instructions and off we went. The tour was wonderful, we were able to see lots of sights, the area is beautiful, with spectacular coastline views! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It's worth it! - It was great! A nice way to see many views around the coast and visit interesting places in Monterrey. We did early bird tour and was good, less traffic.

Fun in Monterey - Had a great time the ride was fun we went thru cannery row the coast line and part of the 17 mile road. The GPS and recorded narrative was very helpful. The staff was great with instructions well worth the money and time in Monterey!!!!

Worst Experience with GoCar Tours in Monterey, CA - We had the worst experience with GoCar Tours in Monterey, CA. We booked the 2-hour Early Bird Special, renting two cars for over $220. After leaving the Portola Hotel & Spa garage and heading toward Pebble Beach, we received a call from the GoCar office less than an hour into our tour, demanding we return immediately because another customer was waiting for one of our cars. This was outrageous — we paid for a full two-hour experience and were forced to cut our trip short without warning or valid explanation. When we returned to the garage, no staff was available to assist us, and when we went inside, neither the salesperson nor management offered any apology, explanation, or refund. The complete lack of customer service and disregard for our time and money was appalling. This experience was unprofessional, disorganized, and a total waste of time and money. Based on how we were treated, I strongly recommend avoiding GoCar Tours Monterey. There are far better ways to enjoy the area without being subjected to this level of disrespect and poor service.
