About this tour
Take the wheel for a four-hour San Francisco GoCar tour that pairs neighborhood character with sweeping city views. Follow the GPS-guided route from Fisherman's Wharf toward Twin Peaks, where the elevated lookout offers a panoramic view from 922 feet above the city. Continue to Alamo Square to see the Painted Ladies, then pass through the historic Presidio and wind down Lombard Street on the return route.
Your rental includes a map, rider orientation, helmets, gas, and an environmental fee supporting carbon offset, gas, and tire recycling. Each GoCar accommodates up to two people, making it an easy way to explore together at your own pace. Drivers must be 21 or older and bring a valid physical driver's license and major credit card; passengers must be at least 4 and fit safely into an approved helmet. Optional collision coverage is available for an additional charge, and a refundable security deposit is held on the rental day.
See San Francisco from the driver's seat and make time for the landmarks and views that make this route memorable.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 17 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.6. Top 18% in San Francisco means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in San Francisco by this score.
