Reviews: Monterey, Carmel and 17-Mile Drive: Full Day Tour from SF
Guest User2026-01-10
We had a great day out on this trip on the 3rd Jan. I have always wanted to visit Carmel, my late Dad always mentioned how much he loved it when he visited, and to be able to go to places along the Pacific coastal highway, so I thought this was a great way to do it whilst on holiday in SF.
Our tour guide was Don, he was a great guide for the day. Kept us entertained from start to finish, with lots of stories and info about California and the places we were visiting. He also has a history of studying marine biology, so shared some interesting facts about this as marine life is a fundamental part of this area of California.
I particularly found his talk about John Steinbeck interesting as we drove through Salinas (aka. Steinbeck country), as well as the stories of his cat, Errol who he says he takes on trips with him sometimes π€£. We had to leave our cat in a cattery whilst away so it was fun to hear his stories of his cat whilst we were missing our own.
Don managed our time at each stop very efficiently, making sure we all got to see the picturesque spots and get sufficient shots of the amazing scenery along the way. This was also helped by all of our fellow travellers making sure they were back to the bus at the time Don had given us which was good. He mentioned that it was his favourite tour to take people on, out of the tours the company offers, and you could tell he was genuinely interested and happy to share his knowledge and stories with everyone.
The tour time was managed so well that we got to go to each spot for the alloted time in our itinerary, and then even managed to get an extra 20 minutes in Carmel to explore which I was very happy about. This gave us time to visit the beach for a walk (very important to me as my late father had always wanted to take us there), as well as having a stroll around the town.
Overall it was a great day that we will both remember for the rest of our lives, we had a great time in San Francisco, and also went on a brilliant tour to Yosemite earlier in the week. I would highly recommend these guided tours to anyone thinking about going. They're well worth the money.β

Reviews: Monterey: Monterey Bay Dolphin and Whale Watching Boat Tour
Guest User2026-03-05
A spectacular trip! I've been on whale watching trips in the past, where the boat captain would charge towards every spout, causing all the whales to dive and avoid us. Not so with this one- They moved close enough to get great views, but not so close as to spook the cetaceans. The result? Views LOTS of spout blows, tail flukes out of the water, even a couple of breaches! Chris, the announcer, was great in his directing our gazes to the right place to see the most. Also appreciated was their environmental perspective, and their efforts to remove mylar balloons from the water (which harms/kills wildlife).β

Reviews: Wine Tasting and Walking Tour of Carmel-by-the-Sea
Guest User2025-12-09
Great tour with Toby, he seems to know everyone in the town! Heβs extremely knowledgeable and gives you a great understanding the unique terroir of the area which produces some of the central coast most unique wines. He also gave some great recommendations for vineyards to visit on Paso & Santa Ynez.β

Reviews: Malibu: Celebrity Homes, Beaches & History Tour
Guest User2025-11-02
I absolutely loved my tour; I had a fantastic time. Dave showed us every nook and cranny of Malibu. He's an excellent guide who shared tons of anecdotes about the filming locations of TV series, movies, and music videos. He gave us great recommendations. The tour was in a car with the top down under the California sun. I felt like I was in a movie. I was completely transported. It was amazing. Great value for money. Small group.β
