| I took this tour with my sister who lives in San Diego. I am a local resident having lived on the Peninsula for over 20 years. Taking this tour with my sister I once again realized what a magnificently pictueresque area Monterey truly is for any movie director.
It was just a lot of fun seeing actual movie sights and how Hollywood can make Pebble Beach appear to be England. The tour guide gives you Hollywood insider tips which are good for a laugh or amazement.
One aspect of the tour anyone would like is that you see the entire Monterey area in a three hour voyage and you don't have to drive it yourself, get lost, or pay the entrance fee into the 17 Mile Drive...you can sit back, relax, and leave the driving to somebody else...it's worth the price of admission to anyone who is in charge of dragging guests around on a vacation!
The tour guy has a soothing, Hollywood voice, who is adept at driving and providing fun facts of movie land all at the same time.
AND if you've ever wanted to see the 18th Hole of Pebble Beach this is the tour for you...there is a 40 minute stop over there and you too could have a glass of wine at the Pebble Beach Lodge overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the 18th Hole where the greatest of the golf world have played...just be sure to set aside $16.00 for that glass of wine!!!! ha ha
ENJOY...oh, kids would not really be interested in this tour...I doubt they'd appreciate the movies of Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Rooney...Take a date, leave the kids somewhere else...

| We enjoyed our visit with the owner Doug and were delighted with his knowledge of both movie trivia and the Monterey/Carmel area. He made it a very pleasant experience and we're sure to recommend to others. |

| 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. |

| Director was knowledgeable and entertaining.
Having been to this area many times, some areas were unnecessary.
For first time visitors, this is almost a must.
Bus seats were a bit too close = uncomfotable.
Head sets seemed to break easily. |

| We all (ages 56-85) appreciated the ease of finding the tour pick-up spot, the choice of a wide variety of films, the comfort of the coach, and the courtesy and careful preparation of the driver/guide. There are several movies we all want to see or see again now! |

| My husband and I booked the tour mainly because we enjoy the movies (actually going to the movie theater) but after seeing the clips and sites of many of the older movies such as "A Summer Place" - "From Here To Eternity" etc. we have decided to rent the DVD's and enjoy them again with our new knowledge of the history of the films.
The entire three hours was filled with film clips, a wonderful narration by our tour guide, Doug, and stops at some of the most scenic and beautiful places on the Peninsula.
We would highly recommend the tour to anyone wishing a more intimate knowledge of the films, sites and magnificent landscape. Doug made the scenes come alive for us with the personal stories of his experiences and relationships.
