| There is fascinating movie history around every corner.
Doug's movie tour bus was a wonderful way to spend
a Sunday afternoon. The bus was extremely clean and
comfortable. Movie clips added to my enjoyment. |

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. |

| 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. |

PEBBLE BEACH WAS THE HIGHLIGHT, AMAZING TO SEE HOW THE OTHER WORLD LIVES. |

| 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. |

| My family and I usually like to hop onto the city tourist buses when we arrive in a new town - that way you get to see all of the best spots and you can make a note to go back to the ones that look most interesting. The Scenic Movie Tour Bus does all that and a lot lot more - movie fans will love being reminded of the great scenes that were shot literally yards from where they are sitting - Doug the guide / narrator describes each scene as if he was there - he clearly loves the movies. For non movie fans the bus takes you around the magical coastline of Pacific Grove and past the beautiful homes of the mega rich in the Pebble Beach estate as well as the famous Cannery Row and the picture postcard town of Carmel
The tour lasts about 3 hours and is good value for money |

| Monterey Movie Tours is the most professional tour of it's kind I have ever come across! It is a mixture of scenic beauty, movie scenes and the history of the Monterey peninsula all rolled into one. Our group was fortunate enough to have Doug, the owner, showcase this technologically advanced tour using his "radio quality" voice and his "native son" stories to add a personal touch to the overall experience. The stops the bus makes along the way made for several "KODAK" moments!
This is a tour for all ages and an experience that will be long remembered!
Thanks Doug, it was worth every penny and I can't wait to come back again!
