| I've been living in the Bay Area all my life and have grown "weary" of going to the Monterey Peninsula and doing the same thing with visitors from out of state. What a great surprise to find the Movie Tour online and try something different. What a great trip to see not only the local scenery but the movie locations as well. Our tour host was more then knowledgeable and providing lots of interesting facts. I've got plans to go back and I highly recommend this trip to anyone....who has "been there, done that" in Monterey. You won't be disappointed. |

| 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. |

| During the tour, there were a couple of technical glitches after a brief intro which caused us to not witness the video transition. Other than the glitches, the tour was very informative and quite enjoyable. |

| The tour guide (ours was the owner) was very knowledgeable and full of lots of good tidbits of information. The tour we were on included the 17 mile drive which was great. It was very nice to have someone to provide information as we drove along. If we would have driven ourselves, we wouldn't have had the benefit of an experienced guide. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was well worth the money. |

| Monterey Movie Tours is the most professional tour of it's kind I have ever come across! It is a mixture of scenic beauty, movie scenes and the history of the Monterey peninsula all rolled into one. Our group was fortunate enough to have Doug, the owner, showcase this technologically advanced tour using his "radio quality" voice and his "native son" stories to add a personal touch to the overall experience. The stops the bus makes along the way made for several "KODAK" moments!
This is a tour for all ages and an experience that will be long remembered!
Thanks Doug, it was worth every penny and I can't wait to come back again!

| My family and I usually like to hop onto the city tourist buses when we arrive in a new town - that way you get to see all of the best spots and you can make a note to go back to the ones that look most interesting. The Scenic Movie Tour Bus does all that and a lot lot more - movie fans will love being reminded of the great scenes that were shot literally yards from where they are sitting - Doug the guide / narrator describes each scene as if he was there - he clearly loves the movies. For non movie fans the bus takes you around the magical coastline of Pacific Grove and past the beautiful homes of the mega rich in the Pebble Beach estate as well as the famous Cannery Row and the picture postcard town of Carmel
The tour lasts about 3 hours and is good value for money |

| All the people in my group enjoyed the Monterey movie tour. The bus goes all over the peninsula so this is a good tour for first time visitors. The people in my group were avid movie buffs. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie clips we saw. At the beginnning of the tour there is a video presentation that goes from one movie title to another, chosen from the 200 movies filmed in the Monterey area. This part was cut off pretty quickly, which was frustrating to us. We would have enjoyed seeing much more. The one thing about the tour that could have been better would be showing parts of more movies and having less talk by the tour guide. Overall though, the tour was a pleasure. |
