| 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!!!! |

| The tour was well done, and very factural, which we liked. Accomodations were comfortable. Would recommend taking own water.
Wanted to hear more on Doris Day, too bad cant go down Ocean ave in Carmel. The stop at Pebble Beach was enjoyable. We enjoyed Dougs knowledge of
Movies and the Monterey area.... Thanks. Al and Joyce. Will recommend to our children |

| Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the movies and scenes that were filmed on the Monterey Penisula and would have otherwise been unknown to us since very little credit has ever been given to this area for the making of these films. The cost was well worth it and my wife and I enjoyed ourselves very much. Thanks for a very wothwhile experinence. Anyone visiting the area should not pass up the oppurtunity to take this three hour tour and gain a piece of movie background that otherwise would not be known. |

| 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. |

| We have wanted to take this tour ever since we found out about it a year or two ago when we visited Monterey. We have been to Monterey many times on vacation and pretty much know our way around. We have done some research on our own regarding movies which have been produced in the area, but there could be no comparison for watching the actual movie scene and then looking out the window to see the actual site. Sometimes the location looked identical to the movie scene and other times imagination had to be used, but what a thrill to be on location! Much time was obviously spent creating the presentation which we enjoyed, and the research done was impressive. Our driver/owner really knew the details and his presentation, warmth, and enthusiasm all added to the experience. If you are a movie buff, don't miss this. We sat toward the rear of the bus on the left side and felt we had great seats for the tour. Our only disappointment was that the advertisement said that complimentary water was going to be provided, but we never did see any water--maybe the driver forgot. No biggie. There were enough rest stops where we could have had a drink if we needed it. The driver even stopped at an unscheduled time so one of the passengers could make an "emergency" rest stop. While waiting at that location, the driver was able to entertain us with more movie trivia. What a great tour. Recommend it? YES. Worth the money? YES |

| We had the pleasure of having Doug (the owner of Movie Tours of Monterey) as our driver and narrator of this fascinating tour. Doug knows his stuff! We enjoyed listening to his stories about Clint Eastwood and seeing all of the interesting sites used for filming in the Monterey Bay area. Doug has a great speaking voice and a good sense of humor. He even volunteered to take a picture of my husband and I at beautiful Cypress Point. I would definitely go on this tour again and highly recommend it to everyone whether you are a movie buff or not. The scenery will take your breath away. Good job Movies Tours of Monterey!
Sincerely,
Joan and Adam Williams |
