Q: What is a GoCAR?
A: GoCAR is the world's first computer guided storytelling car. The clever talking car navigates for you, but that's not all. As you drive, it points out the sights and tells you the stories that bring Lisbon to life.
Q: How long does the tour take?
A: The tour can take as long as you like, and that is the whole point. You go at your own pace, not the pace set by a tour bus operator. You can complete the tour in as little as two hours or if you have the time make it a long and leisurely 10 hour trip. It all depends on which detours you choose to take or which sights you wish to stop and explore.
