Guide was very informative and after talking to others when I got home they were shocked that we were able to enter Pebble Beach Club or anything on the premises as sightseers in cars are not allowed to enter beyond that guarded gate.

We had a beautiful day for our trip and enjoyed every minute. We managed to sit on the right side of the coach and the pacific coastline was amazing.Monterey is our favourite place and we even managed to get a seat in the restaurant on the pier where we could watch the sea otters below us. Our driver was lovely and very knowledgeable.

We had a wonderful day. Doug, our driver and guide did an amazing job of showing us the beauty of the coast line and stoping at the perfect places for a bite to eat or just a break. It was a long day so be rested. Take your camera and enjoy.

Doug is an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and obviously loves what he does. it shows, big time! He made the entire group (there were 18 of us in the bus total) comfortable and answered all of our questions along the way. Entertaining and lots of beautiful scenery! Would do it again tomorrow if I could!
