| This is a must do tour for movie buffs past and present. We thoroughly enjoyed the manner in which clips of the movies were presented in conjunction with the tour of the area. There was never a dull moment with our enthusiastic , personable guide. There is definelty something fascinating for everyone, whether it's a particular movie or the beautiful scenery. We are locals and have a whole new perspective of our home! We look forward to sharing this experience with family and friends. |

| 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. |

| Doug, the tour guide for the Monterey Movie Tour, is a genial and well-informed person as to the movies made in the Monterey area. He provided us with many details about the film clips that were shown and thus enhanced the experience. I did feel that the stop at Pebble Beach for 45 minutes was too long, given that the tour was 3 hours long; no movie information was thus given during this long break. On an overall basis, however, I would highly recommend this tour for movie buffs. |

| This is a wonderful tour of the Monterey Peninsula in addition to the movie history. It was a three hour tour but the time went so fast because it was so enjoyable. The tour guide was terrific with an excellent sense of humor and a lot of knowledge about the Monterey area. I'm not sure how much people under the age of 40 would enjoy the movie history but they will surely enjoy the beauty of the area. |

| My wife, mother and daughter went on this tour. We enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in movies and cinematography. You view clips of the movies on the bus while you are at the location where the movie was filmed. This is as much fun for locals as it is for tourists. |

| This tour was so much more than a movie tour. I really enjoyed hearing the history of the area and seeing the beautiful coastline of the Monterey Bay. Seeing the movie clips, then seeing the spot where they were filmed was awesome. I had no idea that so many movies were filmed or had scenes from this area. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and really knew his movies and history. I have lived in this area for over 30 years and this is the first time I have taken this tour. From now on, it will be a must when I have visitors. I highly recommend it. |

| Great to see all the movies filmed here as well as scenic highlights at the same time. I loved the stops at the lone cypress tree and Pebble Beach. Definitely worth the money and time spent. Our guide had perfect timing with the stops and movie scenes. I took down the list of movies mentioned and plan on watching them. Perhaps provide a list of the movies next time for the tour?? |
