| 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 didn't know what to expect for this trip, however we were pleasantly surprised. Doug was our tour guide. He shared knowledge of the Monterey, Carmel area with us in a fun and informative way. Seeing the movies while you saw the exact spot where they were filmed was a lot of fun. I have been going to Monterey and Carmel at least twice a year for many years. I learned little bits of triva and fun on this bus trip that I never knew. Great job Doug! |

| 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.

| 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. |

| My husband and I live in Monterey and had been on the tour before. This time we took my inlaws, 4 in total. They loved it. A great way to see the sights of the Monterey Peninsula and to learn some interesting movie history. Doug and his tour bus are great! Would highly recommend this tour to locals and visitors alike! |

| 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 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. |

| This is a must-see when you visit the Monterey Peninsula. Not only do you view some breathtaking scenery, but you learn a lot about the area that you would never find out on your own. Doug Lumsden, owner and operator, provides a wealth of information in his usual friendly, disarming way. Highlight: enjoy the view from the 18th green at Pebble Beach, up close and personal. Later, when you watch Tiger Woods walk the green on TV, you can say you were there.
Doug, keep doing what you're doing. By the way, do you need any relief tour drivers? |
