| This obviously is a tour for fans of movies and movie history. At the same time it is a great scenic tour of the Monterey area including the 17 mile drive. The tour is very well organized and presented in a humorous and entertaining way. |

| We were welcomed to the bus by name. Turns out a bus broke down on the way from San Francisco that morning with a group of 20 who planned to take the Monterey Movie tour. One lady happened to see the bus and she decided to join us. Can't believe our guide/owner was kind enough to take just 3 people! We really enjoyed the tour and learned so much. We will be in Boston in June and just may take that movie tour too. |

VERY PLEASURABLE EXPERIENCE!

| The tour guide, bus driver, owner (all-in-one) Doug Lumsden does a very good job.
My wife and I greatly enjoyed the Movie Tour. |

| This was second tour for this older couple - undertaken to entertain a visitor from Ohio. The second time was just as entertaining and fun as the first, and the Ohio visitor was enormously impressed. I rate this tour as five stars for anyone who has interest in either the wonderful scenery in the vicinity, or/and in old movies. Great tour, great "docent". |

| We had a wonderful tour and loved every minute of it. Doug was a fantastic tour director and was so friendly, and knowledgeable . He provided us with lots of details and background information about the movies and the various scenes we visited.. He was such an expert on everything. In addition to his delightful personality, he seemed genuinely interested in providing us with a memorable day. And it certainly was! He made our day! Thank you.

| We really enjoyed the tour of movie sites in Monterey and vicinity and the 17-mile drive around the peninsula. Our driver/tour guide, Doug, was very knowledgeable and interesting. We would certainly recommend this tour to friends.

| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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. |
