In early March, on a 64-degree / sunny day, I rented a Go Car with a group of people (5 cars in total). This is a GPS-guided audio tour (website) on a small ATV-type car - its part scooter, part buggy. The audio tour knows where you are based on the GPS and points out interesting facts about what you're seeing as you drive. It's a great way to explore the city - I got to see more of the city than I had in the past 6 months here total. We went from Fisherman's Wharf down Marina, Crissy Field, Fort Point, the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, up through the Presidio, into Lincoln Park by the golf course, over to China Beach where huge mansions overlook cliffs, and on the way back, tried the curvy part of Lombard. Anytime I have a guest visiting the city, this will be tops on my to-do list.
