This tour traverses the breathtaking scenery on the famous Pacific Coast Highway. Upon arriving in historic Monterey, you will have time to explore the fascinating sea creatures at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (entrance not included) and stroll among the shops on Cannery Row. The tour will follow the coast through the beautiful little town of Pacific Grove on the way to the 17 Mile Drive. The drive finishes up at the enchanted town of Carmel-by-the-Sea where you’ll can explore the boutique shops on Ocean Avenue or be dazzled by the white sandy beach. When there is interest, we will also visit the historic Carmel Mission.

Our guide, Thomas, was very good. He was extremely knowledgeable, and had a nice manner of delivering information. Unlike some guides we have had, he did not talk constantly. He timed his delivery of information very, very well.

Bus oversold by 3 seats. 30 min late leaving Fisherman’s Wharf. Almost no information or commentary provided by the host/tour guide who seemed to struggle with putting sentences together and frequently nodded off to sleep. Very sad to see the aged guide struggling in front of a bus load of paying tourists. To make matters worse, we had to wait 15 minutes for him to finish his dinner before leaving Carmel as he’d gotten his times confused. The one redeeming feature of the day was driver Jack who tried valiantly to put a little humour into the tour at the various stops.

The destination was excellent, however the bus used was not at all suitable for a 12 hour day trip. Several of the overhead air vents were broken and stuffed up with paper which made it impossible to adjust the individual temperature. The seats offered no storage other than placing items in the overhead bin, which meant smaller items had to be held at all times. Finally when we returned to the bus after Carmel stop the stench from the chemical toilet in the bus was atrocious and caused my wife and others sat nearby to gag. It only cleared once the bus was moving and some airflow returned.
There is also an issue with how the seats are sold. This trip had 8 single seat passengers on a full bus all of whom sat alone forcing any late boarding couples to split up and sit with strangers - not ideal for a 12 hour trip!
The driver tried to offer information, but sadly the level of irrelevant drivel regarding his ‘acting’ career and favourite movies made it hard to select the interesting facts
Finally the choice of stops was strange, particularly the morning coffee stop. The outlet was so small that those of us sat near the back of the bus had no time to purchase anything in the time provided due to the amount of time taken by some of the passengers to disembark.

Driving along the 17 miles to Carmel, beautiful view so calm and tranquil. The driver could be a little more interesting when he speaks.

I found we didn’t have enough time in Monterey and Carmel. I would rather we could spend half a day in Monterey and half a day in Carmel.

This was a beautiful trip to Monterey and Carmel. It was a full day from 0730a-8pm. There were several stops along the way and the driver was courteous and professional. Definately worth it!

The driver/tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and well spoken on a number of topics. He made the trip very interesting! He also made a number of stops along the way that enhanced the experience. It was unfortunate that the seal was broken on the my window of the bus which did not allow for clear viewing. And a young man in the seat ahead of the WOULD NOT SHUT UP the ENTIRE 10+ hours of the journey. If you're going to take this tour, be courteous to those around you. We DID NOT pay to hear YOU talk the entire effing time!!
