| We have wanted to take this tour ever since we found out about it a year or two ago when we visited Monterey. We have been to Monterey many times on vacation and pretty much know our way around. We have done some research on our own regarding movies which have been produced in the area, but there could be no comparison for watching the actual movie scene and then looking out the window to see the actual site. Sometimes the location looked identical to the movie scene and other times imagination had to be used, but what a thrill to be on location! Much time was obviously spent creating the presentation which we enjoyed, and the research done was impressive. Our driver/owner really knew the details and his presentation, warmth, and enthusiasm all added to the experience. If you are a movie buff, don't miss this. We sat toward the rear of the bus on the left side and felt we had great seats for the tour. Our only disappointment was that the advertisement said that complimentary water was going to be provided, but we never did see any water--maybe the driver forgot. No biggie. There were enough rest stops where we could have had a drink if we needed it. The driver even stopped at an unscheduled time so one of the passengers could make an "emergency" rest stop. While waiting at that location, the driver was able to entertain us with more movie trivia. What a great tour. Recommend it? YES. Worth the money? YES | ||||||

| We had the pleasure of having Doug (the owner of Movie Tours of Monterey) as our driver and narrator of this fascinating tour. Doug knows his stuff! We enjoyed listening to his stories about Clint Eastwood and seeing all of the interesting sites used for filming in the Monterey Bay area. Doug has a great speaking voice and a good sense of humor. He even volunteered to take a picture of my husband and I at beautiful Cypress Point. I would definitely go on this tour again and highly recommend it to everyone whether you are a movie buff or not. The scenery will take your breath away. Good job Movies Tours of Monterey! Sincerely, Joan and Adam Williams | ||||||

| We really enjoyed this tour. Doug was very informative, interesting, engaging, and entertaining. With the historical cinematic information given to us, we were able to appreciate more of the sites and locations visited in Monterey County . We also will keep a watchful eye out for the various locales in the assorted movies of which Doug spoke. Money and time well spent! | ||||||

| We are very familure with this area and traveled the same roads in our own car, but we saw everything with a new eye on the tour. Doug was very interesting to listen to as he told the history and sites of so many movies. We very much enjoyed ourselves, and have recommended this outing to others. | ||||||

| This was a great tour! Highly recommended. Our guide, who identified himself as the tour company owner, was personable and knowledgeable. Anyone who likes movies and especially film history will find the tour most satisfying. Because of this experience, we will look for movie tours in other locations. | ||||||

Monterey Movie Tour--fun and friendly

| Really enjoyed the movie aspects of the tour, though not the non-movie tourist type information. The long stop (40 minutes) at Pebble Beach Resort was too long, for my tastes, but my companions enjoyed it. I would have liked even more movie site visits instead, and even more movie information, but what I saw was great. The tour guide (Doug) was very sweet and friendly, and kind to my elderly friends. | ||||||

| My wife and I are long-time tourists of the Monterey Peninsula area; in fact, it is one of our favorite spots to "get away from it all" for a weekend or a short stay. I am always on the lookout for activities, events, and attractions that present us with things we have not done or experienced in the locale before. This time around, I found what I was looking for in the Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey. The Movie Tour is a nice little three-hour tour (not to sound too much like Gilligan's Island) combining some of the best sights of the Monterey Peninsula with the magic of the movies. If you are familiar with movies that are a little older (within the last 30-50 years) you may get a little more out of the tour, as some of the greatest and most featured movie scenes on the tour come from movies such as "A Summer Place", "Clash by Night", and of course, "Cannery Row". Nonetheless, there are definitely things to enjoy for people of all different ages--even if you've never seen a movie in your life! Again, this tour hits a great many high points of the Monterey peninsula; things people like to see when they come to the area, regardless of any Hollywood history. The charm of the movie tour is that it then adds in history, trivia, and the cinemagraphic magic that goes along with the various sights. Further, tourists get to see quite a few scenes from classic movies, and the guide ties them in to what is being seen outside the bus at the same time. The effect is similar to a Universal Studios tram tour with a kind of expanded outlook. The tour also makes three stops along 17-mile drive providing great photo-ops, and a chance to personalize the experience a little. My wife and I found it a wonderful way to enjoy the afternoon. The tour begins and ends at Portola Plaza, which provides for further opportunities to take in picturesque scenery, do some shopping, grab a bite, or even visit any of the three museums within short walking distance. Fisherman's Wharf at Monterey Harbor is not too far down the street from Portola Plaza opening up an even greater range of possibilities. Overall, I would unreservedly, highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the Monterey Peninsula, and looking for something a little different. | ||||||

| Having spent quite a bit of time in the Monterey area this tour was ok. The sound system in the bus made a lot of noise and was annoying. The movie information was interesting and it brought some new character to the area for me. | ||||||

| The Monterey movies tour was superb. The owner of the company gave a thorough explanation of movie scenes accompanied by playing the locations on video screen. The stop at Pebble Beach was awesome. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone as a "must". | ||||||

| This tour was so enjoyable - a must see. We were "spoiled", having Doug, the company owner, as our tour guide and with a group of 25 cancelling at the last minute, we were a group of 5. Nothing but perfect seats!! Doug was extremely knowledgeable on movie facts and being able to watch movie clips while being at the actual scene put us right in the place and time. Also touring Pebble Beach and stopping at their Lodge was an added bonus. Thanks for a great afternoon. | ||||||

| Ten ladies from our Red Hat Society Chapter traveled from Half Moon Bay to Monterey for the Scenic Movie Tour of Monterey. We learned some fascinating facts about the Monterey area and the movies that were filmed there. We had a wonderful time and recommend this tour to others for a great day of Fun and Friendship! | ||||||

| My husband and I are from Georgia and were taking a 2-week vacation up the Calif. coast. I saw this tour on the internet and thought it sounded like an interesting way to see the Monterey penninsula. I had to drag my husband on this tour because he is not a big fan of tours in general, is not a movie buff, and is very hard to please. I was on somewhat shakey ground because I had dragged him to a play in LA that he hated and he had not let me forget it. However, he raved about this tour. It was absolutely fabulous. If you like movies, you will be fascinated by this tour. We were lucky enough to have Doug, the owner, as a tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He had just the right touch. The tour is so unique and informative. If I am ever in Monterey again I will seriously consider retaking the tour . Try it! I think you will really like it, whether you are a movie buff or not. | ||||||
