The tour was enjoyable and the bakery in Davenport was wonderful. We went to the aquarium in Monterey on our own while in Monterey. We were disappointed with the aquarium.

We had a fantastic guide who shared alot of his local knowledge. Monterey was disappointing. I would give that a miss but Carmel was a delight. It would have been good if the guide could recommend some affordable places to eat.

Scenic drive down the coast was excellent because you had time to look and not deal with curves and the traffic. Time in Monterey was too short to shop and see the aquarium.

Driver was very friendly and informative, plenty of stops, overall a very good day out.

Although this is a long day, the comfortable coaches, excellent commentary given by our driver, and the regular stops ensured that we had a relaxing and enjoyable day. The only disappointment was the length of time we had for the aquarium, it was impossible to see everything and try to have lunch.

Driver was very nice and gave interesting info about the area. Wish that we could have had more time in Monterey. Carmel is beautiful too but the mall is a waste of time. It's over priced and needs some more shops. It was a lovely tour over all.

The scenery and stops along the way were great, but our tour guide was poor. He was not very informative. He seemed to worry more about the bus ahead of us arriving at the stops first than he was of guiding us through the tour.

Our guide was knowledgeable. Monterey and Carmel are too much for one day, and we didn't really get a chance to see either one really well.

I recommend this tour if you are staying in the San Francisco area for a while. The scenery is very nice, and the towns are quaint. The tour will take up your entire day.

The scenery was wonderful, and the guide was very knowledgeable and amusing, but it was a very long day with little time to spend in Carmel.

Some of the short stops could have been longer.

A great day - well organised with enough time in each place to get a feel for the surroundings, check out the shops and restaurants. Our tour guide was great: funny and friendly and full of information. We have already recommended this trip to a friend!
