| If you are local, or from distance away I strongly recommend including this in on time spent on the Peninsula! Doug is a great tour guide, so enthusiastic and friendly.

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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...

| This is a wonderful tour of the Monterey Peninsula in addition to the movie history. It was a three hour tour but the time went so fast because it was so enjoyable. The tour guide was terrific with an excellent sense of humor and a lot of knowledge about the Monterey area. I'm not sure how much people under the age of 40 would enjoy the movie history but they will surely enjoy the beauty of the area. |

| Great having a local personality in DJ Doug as our guide. He's a warm personality and very knowledgeable of the Monterey/Carmel area. Man, does he know his movies! It was fun watching the video clips as we approached each of the sites that was on them. "A Summer Place" with Troy and Sandra is one of my wife's favorite old-time movies and the theme from that movie is so hauntingly beautiful. The tour was not only movie sites but of the whole Monterey Peninsula (including Carmel and Pacific Grove), one of the most picturesque areas in all the world. We enjoyed the scenery in your comfortable bus and the several places for photo ops. Standing right alongside the 18th green at Pebble Beach was one of the highlights for me. Thanks for a great time!! |
