We had a beautiful day to be out and about touring the area. We were able to see places we had never seen before and maneuver in and out very easily.

Horrible- don’t recommend

Adrianne_W, Sep 2022

This was horrible! The cars were in such poor shape- the side mirrors were all broken, the seats were all torn up, the body of the actual cars were totally banged up. The girl there said that you didn’t really need seat belts or mirrors- “don’t worry about it “ the motor was so loud you could not hear the “tour “. The car was essentially a death trap- don’t know how they are allowed on the street

Response from Host, Sep 2022

I would suggest before you quote somebody, you quote them correctly. I stated seatbelts are optional because they are considered a type of motorcycle and motorcycle show don't have seat belts but if you choose to wear them feel free." With the mirror you were the one who said it was a safety hazard, I offered to switched you to a different car after i told you "the mirrors are an accessory as you don't have no blind spots in the car." I still switched you cars. Martha

Laughed during the Fun Experience ❣️

It was a unique experience, one of a kind!! Enjoyed our time. The only downside was the navigation screen was hard to see. I believe it was because the sun was shining on it, making it harder to see the Route. The voice on it was loud enough & was helpful.

Ok experience, but would...

Amy_N, Oct 2021

Ok experience, but would not do again. It was difficult to hear the narration over the sound of the engine. The route was good with a stop at the lighthouse. But it's hard to stop and park since the car didn't go backwards out of a parking spot. The ending was really difficult since the gps enabled directions cut off and then restarted the route from the beginning. And driving was a right-hand/forearm work out due to the design. Glad we did it, but would do it again.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

The car is a scooter design so if you have never ridden a scooter, clearly it is not for you. Always good to read the description on the website and look at the attached videos which are very clear on how they operate and what is involved.All information is VERY clear.

The fat bossy guy ruined an otherwise fun ride with great views.

Ryan_M, Oct 2021

The view and and bonding experience the vehicle provided were exceptional. We could not hear the gps over the engine most of the time and the tablet seemed outdated and cheap. It constantly lagged behind even when we did hear it. For a place charging what they charge, I hope they get with the times on their technology side. On the other hand, the date was Oct 3rd, 2021 and we were helped by a very obese feminine like fellow who was extremely rude and bossy. We arrived when another group of strangers arrived. A couple and their 2 children. Me and my gf both age 26 were treated with extreme favoritism and it seemed as if the large guy who helped up felt a certain way toward us simply for being younger and not with children. We misheard a part of the instructions and he got visibly annoyed when he asked what we were doing g as if mistakes don’t happen. He then walked by us as we returned and said put you helmets by the door and said nothing else to us and continued to cater his wants toward the other group. We left feeling confused and most dissatisfied. I don’t think he should be working there and the Asian-like woman who was working with him seemed to be put on the back burner when it came to speaking or being involved with most of the process.

Breath taking view while you drive

Gerald_T, Sep 2021

My hubby and I rented the little roadster we went on a narrated tour of Monterey then we went thru cannery row and along the ocean stopping taking pictures as we went. Going along the ocean in roadster you hear feel and smell the ocean it was surreal. We will do it again. We did lose our narrator (IPad). I guess it got hot so I would shade the tablet if you get out to take pictures sit by beach along the way. FortunatelyI had address and phone took me back. Also we saw live deer through out town.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thanks for the nice compliments, we are glad you had a good time and hope to see you again soon..

Peri, Sep 2020

Highly recommended. It was really neat to see the marker points they had set up during the route and the guy who helped had really great customer service. I would definitely go again!
