	We five ladies enjoyed all three hours! Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Sun, Jan 28, 07 1:00 PM	marshaconway	Female	50-59	Combination	Family Without Children
	We all (ages 56-85) appreciated the ease of finding the tour pick-up spot, the choice of a wide variety of films, the comfort of the coach, and the courtesy and careful preparation of the driver/guide. There are several movies we all want to see or see again now!
	Movies Come Alive! Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Sun, Jan 28, 07 1:00 PM	JoanStorman	Female	60-69	Local	Other
	My husband and I booked the tour mainly because we enjoy the movies (actually going to the movie theater) but after seeing the clips and sites of many of the older movies such as "A Summer Place" - "From Here To Eternity" etc. we have decided to rent the DVD's and enjoy them again with our new knowledge of the history of the films. The entire three hours was filled with film clips, a wonderful narration by our tour guide, Doug, and stops at some of the most scenic and beautiful places on the Peninsula. We would highly recommend the tour to anyone wishing a more intimate knowledge of the films, sites and magnificent landscape. Doug made the scenes come alive for us with the personal stories of his experiences and relationships. Joan and Dave Storman
	BEST WAY TO SEE A LOT OF THE MONTEREY PENINSULA Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Tue, Jan 23, 07 1:00 PM	mmueller382	Female	70+	Local	Other
	Organization was important to me and the tour was well described in brochures and on the Internet. I bought two tickets through ZERVE, on the Internet. I was inspired by an article I read on the site which was written by a freelance writer who had been on the Movie Tour. The article was printed in the Travel Section, San Francisco Chronicle, February 29, 2004. I found it with GOOGLE, "Monterey Movie Tours." 1. Parking in a covered garage, close to the tour departure. CHEAP! $5 for all day. 2.15 minute orientation from owner/driver Doug provided an overview of the history of the Monterey Movie Tours by bus. Established his credentials as a native of the area and his contacts with notable movie greats who reside in the area. 3.Timing of the tour and the three stops off the bus. 4. Knowledge of the history of the Peninsula in addition to the movie sites filmed in the area. A great variety in the sites. Nothing was duplicated. 5.The small friendly group of eight people was a bonus for the ease for quick exiting for each stop. Reboarding seemed to provide more time and certainly easier to have the best view for photography. 6. Among the group were visitors from Missouri, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Colorado. One was from Korea and two from the bay area and local. 7. A great stop at Pebble Beach Lodge overlooking the Golf Course and the Bay. Five of the group spent the time on the deck, shared a table, and ordered a cold beverage. All the elements of a good tour was enjoyed with the balmy weather, sunshine, and incredible scenery. I would recommend the tour to anyone who plans a visit to the Monterey Peninsula. Mary Mueller, San Jose, CA

	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.
	Surpassed our expectations! Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Sat, Jan 13, 07 1:00 PM	JoanHelm	Female	60-69	Local	Family Without Children
	My father was stationed at Fort Ord and the family moved to Salinas after he retired in the early 60's. We had many years in Monterey County before some family members settled in other areas of California. My husband and I have lived in Salinas with our own children since 1965. The four of us siblings have a special weekend together a few times a year. After hearing about Monterey Movie Tours on Magic 63, I checked the website and decided this could be a very interesting and entertaining event for our next gathering. They were excited about it, too. Finally our weekend came. The weather was beautiful, and the three hours flew by as we toured through Monterey County. The clips we saw from the numerous films - many of which were so familiar to us - were brought to life by seeing the actual sites along the tour. Our guide was a wealth of information and trivia, had a sense of humor, and was always willing to answer our questions. It was wonderful to have this extra layer of life added to our lives' path in Monterey County. It was not only fun, but gave us an additional appreciation of this beautiful area, along with a strong desire to revisit many of the movies we learned about on our tour. We all strongly recommend that visitors - and locals - take this interesting and fun tour. Thank you for sharing the entertainment and local beauty in such a delightful way! We will definitely bring others back with us for a tour in the future.

	This tour was a good way to see and gain access to a few locations and scenic views otherwise not available to the general public. Doug was a great guide, very personable. Pick-up location was convenient as well.

	Great for Everyone! Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Sun, Dec 3, 06 1:00 PM	mparsons	Female	40-49	Local	Family Without Children
	Whether you are a film buff or not, I think everyone would enjoy this tour as the scenery is gorgeous, the (3) stops are interesting and the bus is very comfortable. I learned a lot about local history as well, and I particularly enjoyed the stories our enthusiastic guide told us about the area and the celebrities he has met over the years.
	Great tour, even if you are NOT a movie buff Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey

	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.
	A must for movie enthusiates Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Fri, Nov 24, 06 1:00 PM	paratore	Female	50-59	Local	Couple on a Date
	We thoroughly enjoyed the movie tour. It was very exciting to be able to see actual movie scenes on the monitor while parked in front of the actual location scene. It was a thrill. The tour guide did a wonderful job and offered a a lot of insight into what went on behind the scenes. We had a great a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
	We are lovers of old movies... this was wonderful. Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Fri, Nov 24, 06 1:00 PM	monajohnson	Female	60-69	Local	Family Without Children
	We love movies. We love this area and are proud that so many films have and are being made here. My mother is 91... she had a great time remembering the older movies, especially the beach scene "From Here to Eternity"! The ongoing commentary about the local stars, real estate prices, etc. was very entertaining. The weather was beautiful, the music wonderful, and the sea gorgeous.
	My husband and I had a great time! Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey

	After having seen Doug Lumsden on KRON with Jan Wahl, we reserved seats for the Friday after Thanksgiving. There's nothing like being able to see the actual sites in the movies just before seeing them "in person". I think I would have preferred a little less of The Summer Place and a wider variety of movies, but enjoyed myself nonetheless. Thanks!
	Wonderful Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey

	The ladies who rode on this tour, very much enjoyed it. They were from South Africa, Greece and Australia. They mentioned that they found the movie clips helpful in seeing the location where it was filmed. They would recommend this to others.
	Simply Outstanding Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey
	Wed, Oct 25, 06 1:00 PM	lmessner	Male	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
	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
