Beautiful drive - Our family loved the tour. One hour and 30 minutes was way too short of a time in Monterey. Carmel by the Sea was so expensive and not much to do. Your guide was great and informative.

11 hours of fun and amazing locations! - An amazing day out. The weather was superb, as were the locations and the views. The driver (Danny) is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, with a good sense of humor. The day passed by very quickly but we managed to see so many things, from amazing locations like Monterey to movie locations and the homes of movie stars. This is a beautiful part of California and this trip was well worth the time and the money. Jeremy and Olena.

17-Mile Drive a must see - Our driver was wonderful. He gave us alot of information along the way. That drive from Monterey to Carmel was really spectacular with a stop at Pebble Beach. Great experience but know before you leave it is a very long day.

Good trip, but bus wasn't great. - Great day out. Bus was a little tired and rattled and squeeked all the way. Danny the driver was great. Lots of local knowledged shared. Good trip, would recommend. Shame about the bus. Windows also needed a wash.

A better way to see PCH -1 - Pretty good experience. Don was our guide and he was a seasoned one. A better way to see the PCH-1 points up to Carmel in my opinion, instead using your own car ( f course you can stop more with your own car). The way back takes longer time due to traffic on US 101. Couple of things Id like to recommend. They should offer water and snacks at least, since they are charging a bomb per person for essentially a drive-through. Also, the driver should himself not be a guide, as he keeps talking but is not engaging the group, as a result of which half way through most people fall asleep and could miss a few good points.
