| 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. |

| I enjoyed the tour very much and would recommend it to anyone who is traveling into Monterey/Carmel. It doesn't cost very much and is worth every cent. |

Pleasant Enough

| As I took your tour I was very happy with the knowledge and info provided as we proceeded along the route .BUT!! To be told to turn off my video camera and that NO continuous filming is allowed due to copy write laws and infringement was not only a load it was also embarassing!!! No where in any info that was provided to me before I took this tour was there any disclaimer stating that continuous filming was not allowed ..If you do not want this to take place on your tours then it should be stated in the info provided before the tour is taken.Not everyone in this world is out to infringe on someone elses rights!!!! I simply was having a great time and was totally in the zone.Well until that happened and of course spoiled the rest of the tour!!!!!! I will never take this tour again simply because of this embarassing and stupid assumption. Regards Mr. L. Mills |

| We really enjoyed the tour of movie sites in Monterey and vicinity and the 17-mile drive around the peninsula. Our driver/tour guide, Doug, was very knowledgeable and interesting. We would certainly recommend this tour to friends.

| I LIKE THE BUS AS IT IS KEPT CLEAN . ALSO THE TV MONITERS THAT DO THE REPLAY OF PAST MOVIES AS THE BUS COMES ONTO THAT SPECIFIC SPOT. THE DRIVER WAS VERY COURTEOUS AS TO TAKE PEOPLE'S PICTURES WHEN ASKED. |

| My wife and I had a blast on tour. Due to a cancelation there were only 4 of us on the tour. The guide, who actually was the owner, treated us like he had a 100 people on the tour. He shared all kinds of interesting facts about Monterey, Pebble Beach, Carmel and the movies that were filmed in these locations. It was a lot of fun! |

| My husband and I booked the tour mainly because we enjoy the movies (actually going to the movie theater) but after seeing the clips and sites of many of the older movies such as "A Summer Place" - "From Here To Eternity" etc. we have decided to rent the DVD's and enjoy them again with our new knowledge of the history of the films.
The entire three hours was filled with film clips, a wonderful narration by our tour guide, Doug, and stops at some of the most scenic and beautiful places on the Peninsula.
We would highly recommend the tour to anyone wishing a more intimate knowledge of the films, sites and magnificent landscape. Doug made the scenes come alive for us with the personal stories of his experiences and relationships.

| My father was stationed at Fort Ord and the family moved to Salinas after he retired in the early 60's. We had many years in Monterey County before some family members settled in other areas of California. My husband and I have lived in Salinas with our own children since 1965.
The four of us siblings have a special weekend together a few times a year. After hearing about Monterey Movie Tours on Magic 63, I checked the website and decided this could be a very interesting and entertaining event for our next gathering. They were excited about it, too.
Finally our weekend came. The weather was beautiful, and the three hours flew by as we toured through Monterey County. The clips we saw from the numerous films - many of which were so familiar to us - were brought to life by seeing the actual sites along the tour. Our guide was a wealth of information and trivia, had a sense of humor, and was always willing to answer our questions.
It was wonderful to have this extra layer of life added to our lives' path in Monterey County. It was not only fun, but gave us an additional appreciation of this beautiful area, along with a strong desire to revisit many of the movies we learned about on our tour.
We all strongly recommend that visitors - and locals - take this interesting and fun tour.
Thank you for sharing the entertainment and local beauty in such a delightful way! We will definitely bring others back with us for a tour in the future.
