GoCar- GPS guided tours
Posted May 14, 2009 – 11:14 pm in: Services
If you are a tourist, visiting a new place, you can now drop your map and take a ride on GoCar yellow 3 wheelers… A human voice will tell you where to go as well as information about what is around you and some jokes… This service is currently available in Barcelona, Lisbon, Miami, San Diego and San Francisco. The price starts from 35 Euros for one hour up to 99 Euros for a whole day. GoCar has agreements with some locations to allow you to drive there for free. You will need a credit card and a drivers license to get a GoCar. This seems like a really useful service when you don’t know the city you are in.

Last September some friends of mine took their honeymoon to Barcelona (then a cruise; lucky!) and they took one of these. They had a bit of video of them driving and you could hear the GPS and the nice tour guide voice telling them the various sights based on their current location. Seemed really cool. They had to wear little helmets but it looked like they had a lot of fun with it.
