If you don’t know your way around San Diego, you might consider hopping in a GoCar, a talking car that started service earlier this year. The little yellow cars with black racing stripes take you on a GPS-guided tour that talks about a bunch of tourist spots you may stop at, including Petco Park (home of the Padres), Gaslamp Quarter, Balboa Park and the Maritime Museum. The cars go on regular roads (only about 30 mph), and you can detour off the “tour” track. But don’t try sneaking over the Coronado Bridge — they aren’t allowed on that roadway.

You can rent cars at two locations: Seaport Village or in Old Town. A one-hour tour costs $44; a full day costs $150. Info: (800) 914-6227, www.gocartours.com.
