| My boyfriend & I had THE BEST TIME on this tour. Doug is so knowledgeable, & the tour is so well done. The movies shown on the screen match whatever he's talking about at the time. He has truly perfected this tour. The stops we made were necessary to the tour. Bird rock was absolutely gorgeous ! The lone cypress is truly awesome ! Pebble Beach was a real treat because there's no way we ever would have gone there without this tour, & yet we've heard about it our whole lives. The whole tour was truly a highlight of our weeklong trip to the San Francisco area. |

| The tour was interesting, but certainly not worth $49 + your fee of $2! The restroom break along the beach was a good idea, but 40 whole minutes at the Lodge was completely unnecessary. True, the view was spectacular, but 20 minutes would have been more than adequate. I would have rather seen more footage and more movie scenes. Essentially, it boils down to two hours at $51.
Of the 200 movies made on the Peninsula, we saw less than 15. Very disappointing. Had the brochure been more specific, I would never have wasted my time nor my money nor that of my friends.

| We have wanted to take this tour ever since we found out about it a year or two ago when we visited Monterey. We have been to Monterey many times on vacation and pretty much know our way around. We have done some research on our own regarding movies which have been produced in the area, but there could be no comparison for watching the actual movie scene and then looking out the window to see the actual site. Sometimes the location looked identical to the movie scene and other times imagination had to be used, but what a thrill to be on location! Much time was obviously spent creating the presentation which we enjoyed, and the research done was impressive. Our driver/owner really knew the details and his presentation, warmth, and enthusiasm all added to the experience. If you are a movie buff, don't miss this. We sat toward the rear of the bus on the left side and felt we had great seats for the tour. Our only disappointment was that the advertisement said that complimentary water was going to be provided, but we never did see any water--maybe the driver forgot. No biggie. There were enough rest stops where we could have had a drink if we needed it. The driver even stopped at an unscheduled time so one of the passengers could make an "emergency" rest stop. While waiting at that location, the driver was able to entertain us with more movie trivia. What a great tour. Recommend it? YES. Worth the money? YES |

| This tour was so enjoyable - a must see. We were "spoiled", having Doug, the company owner, as our tour guide and with a group of 25 cancelling at the last minute, we were a group of 5. Nothing but perfect seats!! Doug was extremely knowledgeable on movie facts and being able to watch movie clips while being at the actual scene put us right in the place and time. Also touring Pebble Beach and stopping at their Lodge was an added bonus. Thanks for a great afternoon. |

| Ten ladies from our Red Hat Society Chapter traveled from Half Moon Bay to Monterey for the Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey. We learned some fascinating facts about the Monterey area and the movies that were filmed there. We had a wonderful time and recommend this tour to others for a great day of Fun and Friendship! |

| We all loved this tour.A very clever way to see the area .The men liked the 40 minutes at Pebble Beach and I especially loved all the stops related to " A Summer Place".Each of us could relate to movies that were filmed there. Doug ,the tour guide was full of information, and made the tour fun.If we're ever in the area again, we'd all take it a second time, that's how enjoyable it was!!!!!! |

| Our expectations were exceeded. We had the feeling that it was more than just an informative tour but a mission. If you love Monterey, you will love it even more. If you love the movies, you will love them even more. Nothing but respect for the work Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey is doing. Can't always get sunshine but you will always go away with more than you came with. |

| 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. |
