| Mom and I had a great time. WE are both movie nuts....I suggested that you sell copies of the movies that have local scenes....we would have bought several of them right then and there.
The driver/owner was so friendly and warm despite the few people on the bus- it made us feel very comfortable..... It would be nice if someday, you had one smaller vehicle- a 20 passenger or ten passenger bus for trips that are smaller in size.
I would do it again and have already recommended it to family and friends and co-workers at The Carmel Foundation.
Hmmmmmm maybe we could work together to do a local trip for members of the Carmel Foundation and if we included a stop for lunch (on their own) it could be really special and be nice during one of your 'slow' days.....Kathy Spake, Director of Volunteer and Member Services, The Carmel Foundation |

| Our group consisted of my mother, 4 sisters and two nieces - ranging in age from 17 to 79. All being local from Santa Cruz, we have been to Monterey many times. For our recent weekend trip, we wanted to find a way to see the sights without having to drive ourselves. This tour was perfect! It was chock full of fun facts and stories of the area. It was refreshing to see Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel in a different way than just window shopping and walking around. Everyone in our group agreed that the tour was well worth it. Doug did a fantastic job of setting up the video clips to play simultaneously with our arrival at the filming location shown in the film. The bus was comfortable and clean, we were able to get out and stop at a few sites, long enough at the Pebble Beach Lodge that we could have a snack in the picnic area and enjoy the weather.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves movies and wants to enjoy the area. Thanks again to Doug and Monterey Movie Tours! |

| I have been to the Monterey Peninsula many times,as I live nearby. This was a different and great way to show friends who come to visit., especially if you are limited on time and want them to experience this beautifu area! This tour was fantastic; enjoying the scenery as I didn't have to drive. Doug, the tour guide had stories that added local color. I am a movie buff, having owned a video store for ten years. It was great to see clips from old movies, filmed here. Doug, the tour director was great, very informative, and really knew the history of the area! |

| This is a must do tour for movie buffs past and present. We thoroughly enjoyed the manner in which clips of the movies were presented in conjunction with the tour of the area. There was never a dull moment with our enthusiastic , personable guide. There is definelty something fascinating for everyone, whether it's a particular movie or the beautiful scenery. We are locals and have a whole new perspective of our home! We look forward to sharing this experience with family and friends. |

| Doug the bus tour operator, can multi-task like no other, carrying on a conversation while driving the bus and pointing out interesting sights. His has a deep knowledge of filmography for the Monterey area.
The bus has plentiful overhead TVs and nice headsets for listening. He took us on 17-mile drive, and we even got to stop at The Lodge at Pebble Beach for a 45-minute break.
What makes this a worthwhile trip is Doug's intimate knowledge of the area. We could have driven around with a guide book, but we wouldn't have enjoyed the experience nearly as much.
The only nit is that some of the movies he showed were filmed in Salinas or farther east, not really in Monterey. |
