Monterey Movie Tours

Our friends really enjoyed the tour. We have done it before but thoroughly enjoyed it the 2nd time as well. Loved all the information, the comfort of the bus, and our informative leader. We will definitely bring other family & friends again.

Took a friend from southern California. Have told at least 3 friends since the tour how great it was. But, you must be at least 40 or older, I belive, to enjoy the tour. Young people would not know the stars the driver is speaking about.

enjoyed the drive and information our guide gave us

We loved the movie tour, and learned many new facts about local movies that we didn't know before. Although we enjoy the Del Monte Lodge at Pebble Beach, we thought the stay there was a bit long, and cut into what we otherwise could have viewed. We also love A Summer Place, but perhaps too many of the sites we viewed were from that movie. We would have liked to have seen more of films made in Pebble Beach and Carmel Highlands like Play Misty for Me, and some additional clips of movies made locally at sites where you can't drive in.

Lots of good information, careful timing of the movie clips,comfortable bus, a successful tour.

My friends and I enjoy movies and we are of an age to be familiar with most of the movies that were talked about. I particularly enjoyed the manner in which the film was run and then you would be there at the very location. The bus was comfortable and the sound system was excellent. Doug, the owner and our tour operator obviously enjoyed the material he talked about and is a wonderful ambassador for the Monterey area. Much of the tour centers on the 17 Mile Drive so if you are very familiar with this area you might want to rethink this tour, however a member of my group who knew it well thought he got a whole new perspective about it. The high point for me was getting out at Pebble Beach and being able to wander around. Views to die for! The street scenes of Monterey and Pacific Grove were more fleeting and not to much of Carmel. I also think this tour would be of greater interest to young people/foreign visitors if there was more history of the area included as what was included is quite fascinating. Also this is not a tour for young children. When I think back about it the 3 hours went speeding by and there is something to be said for "leave the driving to us."

A great way to experience the Monterey Peninsula with interesting information provided by driver and guide ( in our case the owner).

We had nine people participate on the tour. We all had an excellent time. Very informative and entertaining. The mixture of film clips and seeing the locations in person was outstanding. The guide was humorous and personable. Highly recommended.

it was fantastic..the tour guide is very knowledgeable that inturn easy for you to retain the informatin that was given during the entire course of the tour...i highly recommend this to all who willing to dip their toes to diffferent water...an adventure of a lifetime..remember where just passing once in this world..so see it while its there

Not just your ordinary bus tour of the beauty and interest that surrounds the Monterey area. This tour combines sightseeing, history of the area, movie trivia and more. You will see parts of Monterey you would not see otherwise and will see them in ways you never would but for the lenses of Hollywood. If you are up for something different and fun, take this trip.

We loved the tour.It was as good as we had hoped. The stop at Pebble Beach and walk through the Lodge to the 18th green was a plus to us. The pictures we took were fantastic. There were only 4 of us on the tour because a large group had a bus break-down and could not make it but the tour operator made it extra special for us instead of cancelling . I have been wanting to see this area for most of my life and this was a perfect way to get an overall view of Monterey, Pacific Grove and Carmel. We were able to get an idea of the areas we wanted to re-visit later on our own.

We are locals and assumed it would be pretty difficult to impress us, but we were amazed. We found the tour to be very comprehensive. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The trip was informative and anyone who enjoys movies will enjoy the opportunity to view sites where movies were filmed as well as enjoying this beautiful area.

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.
