| I LIKE THE BUS AS IT IS KEPT CLEAN . ALSO THE TV MONITERS THAT DO THE REPLAY OF PAST MOVIES AS THE BUS COMES ONTO THAT SPECIFIC SPOT. THE DRIVER WAS VERY COURTEOUS AS TO TAKE PEOPLE'S PICTURES WHEN ASKED. |

Good tour for anyone - Great tour for movie buffs

| This was a good comprehensive tour of the Monterey peninsula, including the Pebble beach property and Carmel. What makes it especially fun is the way the tour has prepared clips of some of the many Hollywood movies that were filmed in the area. And you get an idea of what has changed or stayed the same in the intervening years.
It's quite something to see Clint Eastwood walking down the steps to his car and finding Evelyn (Play Misty for Me) in the very spot you are looking at from the bus. The building and the steps are the same as they were in the movie. It's a bit different when you watch a clip of Marilyn Monroe leaving her shift at the cannery. The cannery building is gone, but you can still see the street and the wall on Cannery Row where the scene was filmed. Learn more about the famous beach scene in From Here to Eternity, or Elizabeth Taylor's riding in National Velvet. There are some newer movies too. Our 11 and 14-year-olds enjoyed seeing all the movie clips in between gorgeous views of the seashore and wildlife. |

| We have never done a movie tour before. If this particular one is anything to go by we will be doing many more in the future. We saw many movie clips overhead on TV monitors, whilst we listened on headsets. The volume was adjustable which was nice. We watched the movies as we were moving from one location to another, and when we were parked, so we could really compare the clip to its actual spot. Intersparced were stories about the stars and personal experiences told from the driver, who happened to be the owner. He couldn't have been more entertaining or professional.
As a recommendation for the future it would be nice to see more up to date movies especially for the younger passengers. And provide water. It did say in your website refreshments were available.
Thanks for the potty spots, and the chance to finally look around Pebble Beach golf course. Well worth every penny. We plan on seeing every movie which was filmed in the Monterary area now. |

| As I took your tour I was very happy with the knowledge and info provided as we proceeded along the route .BUT!! To be told to turn off my video camera and that NO continuous filming is allowed due to copy write laws and infringement was not only a load it was also embarassing!!! No where in any info that was provided to me before I took this tour was there any disclaimer stating that continuous filming was not allowed ..If you do not want this to take place on your tours then it should be stated in the info provided before the tour is taken.Not everyone in this world is out to infringe on someone elses rights!!!! I simply was having a great time and was totally in the zone.Well until that happened and of course spoiled the rest of the tour!!!!!! I will never take this tour again simply because of this embarassing and stupid assumption. Regards Mr. L. Mills |

| I had heard many wonderful comments about Monterey Movie Tours, and so when a family member came from out of state for a visit, I decided to book the two of us. We had an absolutely terrific time! The driver (who was also the owner) was very friendly and knowledgeable. He even took our picture! I didn't realize just how many movies were actually filmed on the Monterey Peninsula. My mother-in-law loved watching the movie clips and seeing all the various sights, especially the Lodge at Pebble Beach. The seats on the bus were very comfortable as well. I not only learned quite a bit of movie trivia, I learned some wonderful history of the area. I would definitely recommend Monterey Movie Tours! |

| I enjoyed the tour very much and would recommend it to anyone who is traveling into Monterey/Carmel. It doesn't cost very much and is worth every cent. |

| The Monterey Movie Tour is a fun and relaxing way to see and learn about the area. Although I've visted Monterey a few times, I didn't know much about Pebble Beach or the 17-mile-drive, and hadn't driven through either since it's hard to see the sights and drive at the same time! This tour gave me a chance to learn about the area from a great local guide, see everything without having to watch the road, and relate to it through some movies that I've seen and some that I now want to see. |

| I had taken this tour several years ago and thought it was great. Some of my family were here visiting last week. They aren't really movie buffs, but I thought they would enjoy the tour. They absolutely loved it! I loved it just as much the second time! Doug, the owner and tour guide, is great. We all agreed that it was the best thing we did the whole time they were here (and we did a lot!). I can't say enough good things about Monterey Movie Tours! It's a mini history of the area, a tour of our scenic wonders and a movie location tour all wrapped up in one tour. I'm a resident of Monterey and I was very pleased that I could give my family such a great experience. You have got to take this tour! |
