| Doug is a great guide. The great movie clips added so much to the already spectacular tour!! The whole Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove area is so very "tourist friendly." We had a great time on the tour. |

| We found the tour informative. There was a lot of history we didn't know and to compare the scenery from the old movies to present day was great. Things certainly have changed! We had a fantastic time. Thank you. |

| 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. |

| 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'd highly recommend going on this tour whether you are a movie buff or not. I enjoyed our leader's (sorry, I forgot his name) knowledge of the movies that were filmed in the area and his knowledge of Monterey, Carmel and of the people that live there. It was very entertaining. There were only three people in our group, but we still went! I thought for sure he'd cancel. But he still took us. Kudos to him! |

| This was a good comprehensive tour of the Monterey peninsula, including the Pebble beach property and Carmel. What makes it especially fun is the way the tour has prepared clips of some of the many Hollywood movies that were filmed in the area. And you get an idea of what has changed or stayed the same in the intervening years.
It's quite something to see Clint Eastwood walking down the steps to his car and finding Evelyn (Play Misty for Me) in the very spot you are looking at from the bus. The building and the steps are the same as they were in the movie. It's a bit different when you watch a clip of Marilyn Monroe leaving her shift at the cannery. The cannery building is gone, but you can still see the street and the wall on Cannery Row where the scene was filmed. Learn more about the famous beach scene in From Here to Eternity, or Elizabeth Taylor's riding in National Velvet. There are some newer movies too. Our 11 and 14-year-olds enjoyed seeing all the movie clips in between gorgeous views of the seashore and wildlife. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
