Monterey Movie Tours

The tour was a good break in our day and got us to see places and get info we probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise (E.g., Pebble Beach Lodge). We appreciated the fact that the tour ran with only 3 ticket-holders. We'd have definitely expected to have it canceled for lack of participation, so this made it more enjoyable. Felt we got very personalized treatment as a result. Probably could have done with less discussion of "A Summer Place," and maybe a tad less Clint Eastwood namedropping (since we weren't going to actually meet him), but all-in-all, fairly interesting reviews. Thanks for having us along.

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 had a very enjoyable time on the movie tour. It was interesting and professionally done. It was fun to learn about the movies and the behind-the-scenes facts. It was relaxing and the scenery was beautiful.

My wife and I had a blast on tour. Due to a cancelation there were only 4 of us on the tour. The guide, who actually was the owner, treated us like he had a 100 people on the tour. He shared all kinds of interesting facts about Monterey, Pebble Beach, Carmel and the movies that were filmed in these locations. It was a lot of fun!

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.

This is a repeat trip for us as we'd had such a great time on our first trip about 4 years ago. I'd really like to bring more friends from Northern CA, the only downside is that we all have to stay in the Monterey area for 2 nights and the cost of lodging is pretty steep.

I've been living in the Bay Area all my life and have grown "weary" of going to the Monterey Peninsula and doing the same thing with visitors from out of state. What a great surprise to find the Movie Tour online and try something different. What a great trip to see not only the local scenery but the movie locations as well. Our tour host was more then knowledgeable and providing lots of interesting facts. I've got plans to go back and I highly recommend this trip to anyone....who has "been there, done that" in Monterey. You won't be disappointed.

The tour guide (ours was the owner) was very knowledgeable and full of lots of good tidbits of information. The tour we were on included the 17 mile drive which was great. It was very nice to have someone to provide information as we drove along. If we would have driven ourselves, we wouldn't have had the benefit of an experienced guide. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was well worth the money.

Very interesting concept. Nice way to spend a day. Pebble Beach Lodge - beautiful!

Monterey Movie Tours is the most professional tour of it's kind I have ever come across! It is a mixture of scenic beauty, movie scenes and the history of the Monterey peninsula all rolled into one. Our group was fortunate enough to have Doug, the owner, showcase this technologically advanced tour using his "radio quality" voice and his "native son" stories to add a personal touch to the overall experience. The stops the bus makes along the way made for several "KODAK" moments! This is a tour for all ages and an experience that will be long remembered! Thanks Doug, it was worth every penny and I can't wait to come back again! :)

COULD NOT HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING WE SAW ON OUR OWN, BUS TOUR WAS GREAT, LET THE DRIVING TO SOMEONE ELSE AND GET THE INFO YOU CAN GET FROM SOMEONE EXPERIENCED PEBBLE BEACH WAS THE HIGHLIGHT, AMAZING TO SEE HOW THE OTHER WORLD LIVES.

I enjoyed my 17 mile drive tour however was a little disappointed.  That may partly be due to the fact that the others on the tour were a little less than spontaneous, not even wanting to get off the bus at some of the stops.  I would have enjoyed a bit more exploring and interaction however that was not due to the tour or the driver but a result of the others on the bus, which they could not control.  The scenery was great.  Many of the movies that were pointed out were older movies and/or less than popular movies so overall I'd say that was the least exciting part of the tour.  The scenery was great but the movie connection not so much.

The driver/owner may have done this a thousand times, but he made this presentation seem fresh and vital. He sounded excited about what he was doing and he was proud of his area. We learned much more than about movies made in the Monterey area. We also learned so many insights that I never knew about the land, the places, and the people. I have been down to Monterey many times. This tour made my visit (and future visits) all the more enjoyable. Go! A great value.

Doug (the tour owner and our operator) has put together a terrific 3 hour tour about movies filmed in the Monterey area. These include some new releases and some old, obscure films as well as movie classics. He has coordinated the tour and the DVD presentation to coincide so well that the actors/actresses being featured actually seem to be a part of the presentation. My husband and I keep talking about this tour days after it ended. I recommend it to anyone that enjoys movies and would like to see the beautiful sights of Monterey at the same time.
