Description

Explore Downtown and Old Town San Diego on a 2-hour GoCar Tour. The storytelling car will guide you through the city's most popular neighborhoods with its built-in GPS. Zip through areas such as Little Italy, the Gaslamp Quarter, Mission Hills, and Presidio Park, as your talking car shares stories and fun facts about California's history and cultures. Explore at your own pace with the freedom to stop when and where you want to take photos, detours or grab a snack.

The tour begins in historic Little Italy that was home to the Italian community. See how it has evolved into the modern business and artistic community it is today. Then, make your way past the ships in the Bay that have explored the new world, or patrolled the waters in time of war, and into the Gaslamp Quarter, once San Diego’s red-light district, and see how it has been re-imagined into the social scene it is today.

As you leave modern San Diego, time travel into history as you make your way through beautiful Mission Hills, passing many houses and businesses that are well over 50 years old. Your jump into the past will take you by Historic Fort Stockton, into Presidio Park where the old Spanish Mission used to stand, and into Old Town San Diego where you can see how San Diego looked in the old west with its Spanish and American residents forming a thriving community.

This tour is for anyone who wants to see how San Diego has evolved from its western roots into the Modern international vacation spot that it is today.
