The driver and tour guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. He did a fabulous job with the commentary and introducing the sights. Feel that the stop in Carmel was a tad too long and 2 hours at the Monterey Aquarium was too short. If schedule permits, I'll definitely sign up for this tour again during my next trip to SFO.

A most enjoyable journey. The trip was very scenic. The time spent in each place was just enough to get a good feel for the place, but it was not long enough to see everything, leaving us with the desire to return.

Our tour guide and driver was really informative and very very friendly. He made our tour very interesting and we came away with a good knowledge of California in general, especially the coast area from San Francisco to Carmel. He was very knowledgeable about the history, culture and farming in the area. We loved our trip and would use Viator again. Thanks so much.

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.
