Great tour, even if you are NOT a movie buff
Sat, Dec 2, 06   1:00 PM SteveWilson Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

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.

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!

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!

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
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

Great for visitors and locals alike

Our group all had a great time. The driver was lots of fun and so knowledgeable on all the movies. The weather was great so the bus ride and scenery were the best. I highly recommend the tour to everyone. Need to publicize it more as a lot of people have never heard of it. Great way to spend an afternoon.

Fun way to spend the day.

It was enjoyable to see and hear much of the Monterey Peninsula history from someone who seemed to know it well. The Movie Tour portion was fine, with my only complaint being that it should include more movies and not rely so much on "A Summer Place" and on Clint Eastwood. It sometimes seemed as if Eastwood was a sponsor, inasmuch as he got so much promotion. Also, I was under the impression there had been at least 200 movies shot around the Peninsula but we heard about and saw only a few. Less of sites from "A Summer Place" and more varied movies would have added substantially to the tour.

Don't miss it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Scenic Tour of Monterey. The scenery was spectacular, the stories were interesting and informative, and we were lucky enough to have a fantastic driver (the owner of this great tour). We didn't realize that many of the places that we were passing daily were locations used in films! We were actually staying within walking distance of several of them and went back to check them out again. Thanks for a great three hours.

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.

very much enjoyed
Mon, Sep 25, 06   1:00 PM LydeHussey Female 60-69 Local Couple on a Date
the Carmel portion was very disappointing - after seeing the scenes we hoped to see the beautiful beach area - i know you are prohibited from taking the bus outside thelimits but it seemed like a poor finale to a great tour. Maybe you should take people to Carmel first - and save the better part of the tour for the last. Also we were not told that we could not go anyplace in carmel - so after seeing the scenes we all expected to drive down to the beach - to go on Junipero out of town as fast as possible was a real disappointment - and we live here!! Imagine what the out of towners felt. Anyway, thanks for an enjoyable 3 hours

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.

Fabulous tour

This tour was everything we could have hoped for. The tour director was wonderful, just the right amount of enthusiasm. He obviously loves the movies, the area, and his job. We both enjoyed it very much and have recommended it to friends.
