  • My wife and I took this tour early this month. This day long tour of 17 mile drive, Monterey and Carmel is a must see. We were only 16 passengers in a 56 seater bus, which was very comfortable. The guide was speaking in Chinese as well as in English. Enough time was given to us to explore the various stops, Monterey and Carmel by the sea. We were fully satisfied.

  • Overall tour was good and guide explained everything nicely and it was very informative. The only issue we felt was in carmel guide not gave enough time to explore the place since guide was in hurry to go back since one person was waiting on garlic world place. So we just the carmel in car without getting out to explore. And we reached the earlier than scedule time on return. as per iternaray it supposed to be till 6:30 but we reached around 5pm back. so we felt guide would have given time to explore in Carmel (since it was beautiful place)
