| Go Car tours Barcelona |

 Barcelona's talking Go Cars! A Go Car tour is one of the most fun ways to see Barcelona. The Go Car tour is basically a cute little 2-seater, 3-wheeler yellow buggy car built over a 49 cc scooter engine. And it talks! The Go Car is very easy to drive with an automatic gearbox, so you only have to accelerate and brake using the handle and levers. There are no foot controls, just left and right handle controls to accelerate and brake.   The Go Car has a built-in GPS guided audio system, so your Go Car is being tracked by satellite all the time so you can't get lost. The Go Car does all the navigation and you just listen to your Go Car and follow the driving instructions that come out of two big loudspeakers. Your Gocar will also tell you stories and tips about Barcelona sights.  Before you leave the Go Car staff will give you a full vehicle briefing, so that you are comfortable with all the controls. On our test we headed out onto Via Laietana in the rush hour where was lots of traffic, but we felt at ease within minutes. The top speed of a Go Car is only 45 km/h, which is very safe for driving. A tip for safe driving in Barcelona is just stay in your lane and before you change lane, make sure to check your mirrors and look back to be absolutely sure you can change. The cars and buses will probably slow down to get a good look at you and your cool GoCar, so there is plenty of time to change lanes and make turns. If you miss a turn your Go Car just finds an alternative route. The Go Car will tell you in good time which lane to move into, so just listen to the directions. You will be told when to be extra alert for tricky road sections. Go Car speaks English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German and Italian and has many good stories and some music. It really is a fun way to see Barcelona. It's like driving with a friendly and chatty driving instructor, who tells you when and where to turn. The Go Car is still quite a new sight in Barcelona so it is quite an attraction for the residents of Barcelona. Just wave and smile if someone wants to take your photo! Stopping and Parking. You can stop whenever you want and decide how long you want to spend at each attraction. Parking is easy. Just park in a scooter spot, which is free. You can park in a regular car parking space, but if you do that remember to buy a parking ticket . In some places you can do what the scooters do and park for free on the pavement. But remember the Go Car does not have a reverse gear, so you have to push it out on the road again if you are in a tricky parking place. One person can easily push the Go Car.   City Highlights Express Tour - I hour - € 35 per car This is a compact one hour tour and experiences up close and personal access to the icons of Barcelona. You also have the option to stay on for longer if you choose. Barcelona Uptown Tour - € 65 per car - 2 hours The Barcelona uptown tour takes you through the straight streets of Eixample to see Gaudi’s most important creations, then a visit to bohemian Gracia and up the mountain of Tibidabo with spectacular views of the whole city. You also visit FC Barcelona’s famous stadium Camp Nou. This route generally takes 2-3 hours depending on your stops and traffic. Barcelona Downtown Tour - € 90 per car - 3 hours The Barcelona Downtown tour takes you deep into the Gothic quarter and the Raval. Then cruise down the world famous Ramblas street up to the many parks and sights of Montjuïc Mountain. Your downtown tour culminates in a trip along some of Barcelona’s beautiful beaches. This route generally takes 2-3 hours depending on your stops and traffic.
All Day Tour - € 99 per car Combine all of the above for a grand tour of all of Barcelona from the sparkling Mediterranean Sea to the mountain vistas. This option allows you to take your time and take lots of detours, stops for shopping, visits, coffee, tapas, relaxing on the beach, etc. This option is the most economical per hour and ensures that you don’t miss anything that Barcelona has to offer. Blaze your own trail! The Go cars are also available for general hire for those who want to blaze their own trail through the city. Explore the city streets, neighbourhoods, beaches and parks on your own listening to your own music. Go Car Prices start at 35€ for the first hour, the second hour 30€, third hour 25€ and 4th hour 20€ so €110 for 4 hours .- or just book a full day for 99€ .
