| Really enjoyed the movie aspects of the tour, though not the non-movie tourist type information. The long stop (40 minutes) at Pebble Beach Resort was too long, for my tastes, but my companions enjoyed it. I would have liked even more movie site visits instead, and even more movie information, but what I saw was great.
The tour guide (Doug) was very sweet and friendly, and kind to my elderly friends. |

| This was a great tour! Highly recommended. Our guide, who identified himself as the tour company owner, was personable and knowledgeable. Anyone who likes movies and especially film history will find the tour most satisfying. Because of this experience, we will look for movie tours in other locations. |

| We are very familure with this area and traveled the same roads in our own car, but we saw everything with a new eye on the tour. Doug was very interesting to listen to as he told the history and sites of so many movies. We very much enjoyed ourselves, and have recommended this outing to others. |

| We really enjoyed this tour. Doug was very informative, interesting, engaging, and entertaining. With the historical cinematic information given to us, we were able to appreciate more of the sites and locations visited in Monterey County . We also will keep a watchful eye out for the various locales in the assorted movies of which Doug spoke.
Money and time well spent! |

| We had the pleasure of having Doug (the owner of Movie Tours of Monterey) as our driver and narrator of this fascinating tour. Doug knows his stuff! We enjoyed listening to his stories about Clint Eastwood and seeing all of the interesting sites used for filming in the Monterey Bay area. Doug has a great speaking voice and a good sense of humor. He even volunteered to take a picture of my husband and I at beautiful Cypress Point. I would definitely go on this tour again and highly recommend it to everyone whether you are a movie buff or not. The scenery will take your breath away. Good job Movies Tours of Monterey!
Sincerely,
Joan and Adam Williams |

| 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 |

Not Worth the Money

| 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.

| 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. |
