| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Hollywood Movie Tour of Monterey. Doug, the owner, was our guide. He made the tour very interesting. Doug really seems to enjoy sharing his passion for movies, especially those filmed in the beautiful Monterey/Pacific Grove/Pebble Beach/Carmel surroundings. He was a wonderful host. I would definitely recommend this tour! |

| This is a double treat---a way to see the area's beauty spots without driving and a way to see where interesting old movies were shot. My husband has been coming to Carmel for 40 years but we saw places he didn't know about.
The stop at the Lodge was beautiful. We drank champagne---extra---overlooking the bay on a sunny day.
Highly recommend. The owner loves his subject and it shows in his talk. I think he showed over 70 film clips during the trip. |

| Our guide, Doug, gave my son and myself the VIP treatment. His enthusiasm, experience, and insider information really added to the subject matter and beauty of the surroundings. Whether you only have a short time or have a more leisurely trip to the Monterey penninsula planned, I highly recommend this informative and fun trip. After looking at the movie scenes and the actual scenery during the tour, I will be adding to my DVD collection! Be sure to add this tour to your itineary!!!! |

| I'm from Dublin, Ireland. My friends here in Marina toured me around the Monterey Peninsula quite a bit, but this tour was a wonderfully unique way to see the Peninsula. Brilliant!! (P.S. Don't forget that the MGM Grand lion was born in the Dublin Zoo.) |

| My boyfriend & I had THE BEST TIME on this tour. Doug is so knowledgeable, & the tour is so well done. The movies shown on the screen match whatever he's talking about at the time. He has truly perfected this tour. The stops we made were necessary to the tour. Bird rock was absolutely gorgeous ! The lone cypress is truly awesome ! Pebble Beach was a real treat because there's no way we ever would have gone there without this tour, & yet we've heard about it our whole lives. The whole tour was truly a highlight of our weeklong trip to the San Francisco area. |

Not Worth the Money

| The tour was interesting, but certainly not worth $49 + your fee of $2! The restroom break along the beach was a good idea, but 40 whole minutes at the Lodge was completely unnecessary. True, the view was spectacular, but 20 minutes would have been more than adequate. I would have rather seen more footage and more movie scenes. Essentially, it boils down to two hours at $51.
Of the 200 movies made on the Peninsula, we saw less than 15. Very disappointing. Had the brochure been more specific, I would never have wasted my time nor my money nor that of my friends.
