| All the people in my group enjoyed the Monterey movie tour. The bus goes all over the peninsula so this is a good tour for first time visitors. The people in my group were avid movie buffs. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie clips we saw. At the beginnning of the tour there is a video presentation that goes from one movie title to another, chosen from the 200 movies filmed in the Monterey area. This part was cut off pretty quickly, which was frustrating to us. We would have enjoyed seeing much more. The one thing about the tour that could have been better would be showing parts of more movies and having less talk by the tour guide. Overall though, the tour was a pleasure. |

| A fun activity, especially for folks who cannot get around to see many of the Monterey Peninsula sights- our tour was on a super hot day [rare for this area] and the bus was extremely stuffy- could have used air conditioning and/or fans to make the ride more comfortable- the owner provided great narration to the movie clips and anecdotes about the area. |

Beautiful drive but less than exciting

| I enjoyed my 17 mile drive tour however was a little disappointed. That may partly be due to the fact that the others on the tour were a little less than spontaneous, not even wanting to get off the bus at some of the stops. I would have enjoyed a bit more exploring and interaction however that was not due to the tour or the driver but a result of the others on the bus, which they could not control. The scenery was great. Many of the movies that were pointed out were older movies and/or less than popular movies so overall I'd say that was the least exciting part of the tour. The scenery was great but the movie connection not so much. |

| Doug knows his product and is very genuine and has an obvious love of the movie industry.Hand feeding the squirrels give the trip a nice surprise.Be sure to take a little bribery of food,as they are not interrested in small talk.The Lodge at Pebble Beach is a real treat.Overall a very nice experience I would recommend. |

| I traveled to CA to participate in the Big Sur Marathon and stayed for a few days in Monterey after the event. I decided to book this tour and was very happy I did. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and, of course, about the movies. The tour includes scenic 17-mile Drive, Pacific Grove, Carmel, and a stop at the Pebble Beach Golf Club, which was beautiful. I highly recommend this tour. It was relaxing and fun, exactly what I needed after the marathon. |

| Our motorcycle group looked forward to trying something different.
Wow, Doug's Movie tour was the answer. All of us kicked back and
enjoyed an excellent tour and saw sights we could not see on our motorbikes(17-mile drive). We all said we would repeat this tour without a doubt in the future.
Thank you Doug for making your bus tour the highlight of our trip to Monterey.
Pleased as ever, MMormann of the Kingdom Riders, Rancho Cucamonga, CA. |

| I love movies, so the tour was a very special treat for me. The tour stopped at the locations where movie scenes were filmed. We were at the exact same spot where the movie stars were...Marilyn Monroe, Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis, etc.!
Doug is a terrific tour guide! I would recommend this tour to everyone!!
