| The driver/owner may have done this a thousand times, but he made this presentation seem fresh and vital. He sounded excited about what he was doing and he was proud of his area. We learned much more than about movies made in the Monterey area. We also learned so many insights that I never knew about the land, the places, and the people. I have been down to Monterey many times. This tour made my visit (and future visits) all the more enjoyable. Go! A great value. |

| Doug is a great guide. The great movie clips added so much to the already spectacular tour!! The whole Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove area is so very "tourist friendly." We had a great time on the tour. |

| This was my second time on the tour. The first was with a group and I had to do a repeat with my wife. Owner/driver/narrator is oustanding. A beautiful day, marvelous scenery, informative and entertaining. |

| I went on the tour just to be with my sister for the day, but in addition to having a wonderful day with my sister and her husband, I learned a lot about movies! I've never been much of a movie watcher, but I now have plans to watch as many as I can! There was a lot of movie history that I had known nothing about that I learned on this tour. Last but not least our tour guide was wonderful. It would not have been the same without him!!! |

| The Movie tour was a fun way to spend a sunny mid-week afternoon. There were only a half dozen people on the tour and it was very pleasant. If the bus was very crowded it might not have been as much fun.
The tour has lots of good information about movies made in the area and the video clips and site visits are very well coordinated. It was interesting to see how the buildings and landcape had -- and had not -- changed. Some of the movie clips were surprising and some were rare. All were good quality.
There were three stops - the third one at Pebble Beach Lodge for 40 minutes. That was too long - a real waste of time, especially since it is a public place that anyone can come and visit at any time.
The guide was a real Clint Eastwood fan and talked too much (for my taste) about Eastwood and what a great guy he is and how the locals just consider him a local, etc, etc, etc,..........
It was fun and worth the cost, but I am not sure I would want to do this on a warm to hot summer day, with a full bus, and a lot of traffic on the roads. But , maybe, I am spoiled as I can get there pretty easily. |

| I have live in Monterey County for 30 plus years, and was never aware of the Movie Tour. I'm so glad my friends recommended that we take the tour. I knew movies had been made in Monterey county, but was shocked to find the number of movies as well as the different locations that Hollywood has used.
I have two friends that are TRUE MOVIE BUFFS....I'm going to recommend that they take the tour. |

| I enjoyed this tour as much as my friends from out of town did. The movie trivia was interesting and arriving at the sites was well-planned... and the weather was picture-perfect that day! |

| I live locally and wanted to give my 92 years young mother and out of town guests an overview of Monterey. Doug provided a magnificant day with perfect weather and a very unique perspective of central coast. The bus ride covered more than I had hoped for. It is clear that the owner has done his research and provides his guests with a real treat. A big "thumbs up" to Monterey Movie Tours. |

| 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. |
