This trip was a great value for the money. Full day with enough time to enjoy Monterey and Carmel, not to meation the beautiful sights along the way. Driver was knowledgeable and gave us plenty of time for photo stops.

Incredible place, really awesome tour totally worth it, I really recommend taking the Aquarium package, but you have to have in mind that you'll spend 2 hours in Monterey so you only should take one hour in the aquarium, if you play nice with your time you'll be able to go to the aquarium and walk around monterey.
