| 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!!

| We have never done a movie tour before. If this particular one is anything to go by we will be doing many more in the future. We saw many movie clips overhead on TV monitors, whilst we listened on headsets. The volume was adjustable which was nice. We watched the movies as we were moving from one location to another, and when we were parked, so we could really compare the clip to its actual spot. Intersparced were stories about the stars and personal experiences told from the driver, who happened to be the owner. He couldn't have been more entertaining or professional.
As a recommendation for the future it would be nice to see more up to date movies especially for the younger passengers. And provide water. It did say in your website refreshments were available.
Thanks for the potty spots, and the chance to finally look around Pebble Beach golf course. Well worth every penny. We plan on seeing every movie which was filmed in the Monterary area now. |

| I went on the tour just to be with my sister for the day, but in addition to having a wonderful day with my sister and her husband, I learned a lot about movies! I've never been much of a movie watcher, but I now have plans to watch as many as I can! There was a lot of movie history that I had known nothing about that I learned on this tour. Last but not least our tour guide was wonderful. It would not have been the same without him!!! |

| The Movie tour was a fun way to spend a sunny mid-week afternoon. There were only a half dozen people on the tour and it was very pleasant. If the bus was very crowded it might not have been as much fun.
The tour has lots of good information about movies made in the area and the video clips and site visits are very well coordinated. It was interesting to see how the buildings and landcape had -- and had not -- changed. Some of the movie clips were surprising and some were rare. All were good quality.
There were three stops - the third one at Pebble Beach Lodge for 40 minutes. That was too long - a real waste of time, especially since it is a public place that anyone can come and visit at any time.
The guide was a real Clint Eastwood fan and talked too much (for my taste) about Eastwood and what a great guy he is and how the locals just consider him a local, etc, etc, etc,..........
It was fun and worth the cost, but I am not sure I would want to do this on a warm to hot summer day, with a full bus, and a lot of traffic on the roads. But , maybe, I am spoiled as I can get there pretty easily. |

| I didn't know what to expect for this trip, however we were pleasantly surprised. Doug was our tour guide. He shared knowledge of the Monterey, Carmel area with us in a fun and informative way. Seeing the movies while you saw the exact spot where they were filmed was a lot of fun. I have been going to Monterey and Carmel at least twice a year for many years. I learned little bits of triva and fun on this bus trip that I never knew. Great job Doug! |

| We had a wonderful tour and loved every minute of it. Doug was a fantastic tour director and was so friendly, and knowledgeable . He provided us with lots of details and background information about the movies and the various scenes we visited.. He was such an expert on everything. In addition to his delightful personality, he seemed genuinely interested in providing us with a memorable day. And it certainly was! He made our day! Thank you.

| I have live in Monterey County for 30 plus years, and was never aware of the Movie Tour. I'm so glad my friends recommended that we take the tour. I knew movies had been made in Monterey county, but was shocked to find the number of movies as well as the different locations that Hollywood has used.
I have two friends that are TRUE MOVIE BUFFS....I'm going to recommend that they take the tour. |

| My husband and I live in Monterey and had been on the tour before. This time we took my inlaws, 4 in total. They loved it. A great way to see the sights of the Monterey Peninsula and to learn some interesting movie history. Doug and his tour bus are great! Would highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors alike! |
