| Doug, the owner of Monterey Movie Tours, has done a wonderful job of putting together movie clips from many movies and then driving us by where the scene was filmed. He also stopped the bus and allowed us to get off 2 x, once along 17 mile drive, the second at Pebble Beach, so that was wonderful too. A very enjoyable tour, I did not want it to end! GO! Make sure you ask for a Senior or AAA discount before booking. | ||||||

| We were unable to do the tour last year as you were fully booked. This year we did, and loved it. It was the day beffore the tropical storm, so the ocean looked very scary and it was so windy but this added to the tour and the amazing views. The juxtaposition of the film clips to the ride was so well planned and so many of the films were known to us. Doug took the tour and how fortunate we were we to have him! Such a fascinatng and interesting afternoon and well worth the effort of driving to Monterey for the tour | ||||||

| This was a very unique tour, and was really worth the price! The tour operator was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of background information about the area. I would recommend it for your first trip to the Monterey Peninsula, as it give you an idea of various places of interest, and then you can plan to spend more time in targetted areas later. | ||||||

Historic, Scenic, Movie Tour

| This tour was so much more than a movie tour. I really enjoyed hearing the history of the area and seeing the beautiful coastline of the Monterey Bay. Seeing the movie clips, then seeing the spot where they were filmed was awesome. I had no idea that so many movies were filmed or had scenes from this area. The tour guide was very enthusiastic and really knew his movies and history. I have lived in this area for over 30 years and this is the first time I have taken this tour. From now on, it will be a must when I have visitors. I highly recommend it. | ||||||

| Our group consisted of my mother, 4 sisters and two nieces - ranging in age from 17 to 79. All being local from Santa Cruz, we have been to Monterey many times. For our recent weekend trip, we wanted to find a way to see the sights without having to drive ourselves. This tour was perfect! It was chock full of fun facts and stories of the area. It was refreshing to see Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel in a different way than just window shopping and walking around. Everyone in our group agreed that the tour was well worth it. Doug did a fantastic job of setting up the video clips to play simultaneously with our arrival at the filming location shown in the film. The bus was comfortable and clean, we were able to get out and stop at a few sites, long enough at the Pebble Beach Lodge that we could have a snack in the picnic area and enjoy the weather. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves movies and wants to enjoy the area. Thanks again to Doug and Monterey Movie Tours! | ||||||

| My husband and I recently took our son (age 7) and our mother on the Movie Bus this september and we're pleasantly surprised that the owner of the line was giving the tour personally. He had great hollywood charm, and lots of personal stories to elaborate on the basic concept of the tour. Matching up the locations with the scenes is interesting, but it is the behind the scene narration that makes the three hour tour fly by. The only down side of the tour is that most of the movies filmed in Monterey were made before 1960, so you might want to brush up on some classic hollywood before taking the tour. The bus is very comfortable and every guest is provided personal headphones and plenty of screens to view the clips. The bus makes well timed stops including pebble beach lodge, if you have an extra 50,000 dollars sitting around I recommend the gift shops there. Over all this tour is a good choice for elderly tourists because of it's comfort and accessibility. It's also nice if you want to go scouting for other places to visit in the area, or want to take it easy after hiking or kayaking. Very young children who travel well are ok, but kids between 5 and 10 might get restless. If I could change anything I would add a stop in Carmel-by-the-sea because it's so hard to park there, a bus would be ideal. | ||||||

| I have been to the Monterey Peninsula many times,as I live nearby. This was a different and great way to show friends who come to visit., especially if you are limited on time and want them to experience this beautifu area! This tour was fantastic; enjoying the scenery as I didn't have to drive. Doug, the tour guide had stories that added local color. I am a movie buff, having owned a video store for ten years. It was great to see clips from old movies, filmed here. Doug, the tour director was great, very informative, and really knew the history of the area! | ||||||

A Definite Must!!! Book tour BEFORE you sightsee!

| We took the Saturday Movie Tour, 1pm -- The bus arrived on time and Doug, the owner, was our guide. He has a voice made for radio and he is very knowledgeable about the area, the movies and the connections that make this tour possible. We could have listened and toured all day with him. Doug is full of helpful hints and suggestions about things to do, became our camera man when we felt the urge for a Kodak Moment (and needed a photo of the two of us), and he clearly has a passion for the movies and local area. He is a people person for sure. He helped make our trip to Monterey and Carmel memorable. As an aside, Doug was kind enough to run our tour even though there were only 6 people on board. Unrelated to Scenic Movie Tours, a bus broke down that was supposed to have brought in an additional 16 or so passengers to join us on the Scenic Movie Tour. So, in essence, we had a very exclusive tour. Doug was candid about the misfortune of the other travelers and was still willing to let the show go on. He is the type of person you would love to meet for luch or dinner to learn more about his experiences and stories. The tour was simply not enough --Hats off to Doug! Bottom line, you will love this tour! This is not one of those dopey Duck Tour Adventures that you see in many cities. It will be better appreciated by teens and adults so don't drag you kids on board and expect them to sit and enjoy the tour. Again, it is not a Duck tour -- small children would likely spoil the tour for the rest of the bus in our opinion. Do not hesitate for a moment to book yourself or your group for this event. It would also be a good idea to book this tour before you go sightseeing so that you have the benefit of the many tidbits about the area that you learn from Doug. Then, when you return to sightsee after the tour is over, you will have a better appreciation for what you are seeing and where you want to spend your time. Bob and Marsha | ||||||

| This is a must do tour for movie buffs past and present. We thoroughly enjoyed the manner in which clips of the movies were presented in conjunction with the tour of the area. There was never a dull moment with our enthusiastic , personable guide. There is definelty something fascinating for everyone, whether it's a particular movie or the beautiful scenery. We are locals and have a whole new perspective of our home! We look forward to sharing this experience with family and friends. | ||||||
