Activity itinerary

Palace of Fine Arts Theatre
  • 10m
The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California, is a monumental structure originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art presented there. One of only a few surviving structures from the Exposition, it is still situated on its original site. In addition to hosting art exhibitions, it remains a popular attraction for tourists and locals.
Golden Gate Bridge
  • 20m
Certainly the most-photographed bridge in the world, the Golden Gate Bridge is synonymous with San Francisco. Drive up to the viewing area, or the foot of the bridge at Fort Point, to take pictures. You can take even better pictures at Baker Beach, a few minutes drive past the bridge!

Some of the most beautiful views of San Francisco Bay are in the Presidio, a decommissioned military base that boasts beautiful architecture, a War Memorial, the Disney Museum and even a bowling alley! This area is just a 15 minute drive from Fisherman's Wharf, but feels like another world!

At the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Point is both an excellent photo spot for the bridge and a fascinating monument to Gold Rush -era San Francisco.

Awesome experience! The Go Car is easy to drive and very fun! Just consider it is small and it does not have a lot of space to store things. GPS is easy to use and the tours are very interesting! You can go around the city and discover new places! It's an unique way to explore and discover the city you must try it!

This is a great way to see the city. The route is excellent and you get a very good feeling for the vibe of SF. We’ve been to SF at least a hundred times and this route found places I’d never seen before. If you’re new to SF, I highly recommend it. The only downside is that the cars are pretty small so it’s very cozy. Many of them are pretty old and beat up but they work fine. The staff is another matter. They are not at all welcoming and seemed bored with the job. The AI narrator for the video is lame. Bottom line, great way to see the city but the staff needs to seriously improve their skills when it comes to customer engagement. They need to make it fun as soon as you arrive.

This was so much fun. We got the faster one and got to see so many cool sights in SF. The audio was good and informative. Be sure to watch the time. If you are with 2 ppl one should drive there and the other drive back. Dont swap half way through.
