Monterey Movie Tours

Tour was great. The information provided by our tour guide was excellent!

informative and fun

Guide was very interesting and personable The 4 hours were just long enough The sites visited were incredible I want to go back to visit the area I will recommend the tour

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.

Great having a local personality in DJ Doug as our guide. He's a warm personality and very knowledgeable of the Monterey/Carmel area. Man, does he know his movies! It was fun watching the video clips as we approached each of the sites that was on them. "A Summer Place" with Troy and Sandra is one of my wife's favorite old-time movies and the theme from that movie is so hauntingly beautiful. The tour was not only movie sites but of the whole Monterey Peninsula (including Carmel and Pacific Grove), one of the most picturesque areas in all the world. We enjoyed the scenery in your comfortable bus and the several places for photo ops. Standing right alongside the 18th green at Pebble Beach was one of the highlights for me. Thanks for a great time!!

Doug, the tour guide for the Monterey Movie Tour, is a genial and well-informed person as to the movies made in the Monterey area. He provided us with many details about the film clips that were shown and thus enhanced the experience. I did feel that the stop at Pebble Beach for 45 minutes was too long, given that the tour was 3 hours long; no movie information was thus given during this long break. On an overall basis, however, I would highly recommend this tour for movie buffs.

Director was knowledgeable and entertaining. Having been to this area many times, some areas were unnecessary. For first time visitors, this is almost a must. Bus seats were a bit too close = uncomfotable. Head sets seemed to break easily.

Not much enthusiam. Just a bus ride with some movie history.

My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. Doug was a gracious host, very knowledgeable. This was a great way to start a visit to Monterey because it familiarizes you with the area, the options, and the historical sites.

Doug has put together a tour that shows the most beautiful coast line in the world and you get to see how Hollywood has used it. Most of the movies claim it's some exotic far away place but it's really right here in Northern California. Our friends from Texas enjoyed the feeling of having access to these "Secret" places. I highly recommend the tour especially if you get the picture perfect weather we were lucky to enjoy.

My wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable time on this tour. The owner/tour guide was so very knowledgeable and his wit and humor added tremendously to the tour. We both loved the way he blended the movie clips with the actual scene we were observing out the windows of the bus. We would have driven by these localities without ever once suspecting what had been filmed there. But now we understand how much alive that whole area is in terms of being one big movie set. Since our son, Johnny Messner, is an actor we are a little knowledgeable of how films are made, but this tour really helped us learn so much more. We would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Monterrey. It was truly the highlight of our week on the peninsula. Thanks so much. Laurence and Dolores Messner Las Vegas, NV

Pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed the tour. Neither of us are rabid fans of modern movies (sex is not a spectator sport) but the clips of flicks from an earlier era brought back happy memories.

Most references were for rather old movies so I don't know if many people under 30 or 40 will have ever seen the movies they spotlight. I'm older and a real movie fan so it was a terrific experience in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Was looking on the internet for something to do in Monterey-Carmel, and came across this bus tour. It was really a very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon in the area. I suppose the tour guide was knowledgeable about the things he was talking about, he sounded convincing anyway. The scenery is spectacular, the movie scenes engaging, and the trivia from and about the various movies was alot of fun. Thanks for a great afternoon, the ticket price was worth it, and I definitely will recommend this tour to anyone wishing to see Monterey-Carmel and have a fun time to boot.

My wife and I had a good time and the host was really informative and did a good job.
