7/29/2022 Our tourguide Mike Mai was so nice and professional, he offered to pick us up at the hotel, taking us to some bonus points besides the listed spot, like John Denver's me memorial Sign at Pacific Grove. He is very informative and has a sense of humor. This is one of our best experiences in Northern California .

First time in California and with limited time to explore on my own this was a great way to see the coast. The 17-mile drive was my favorite and I got to dip my toes in the Pacific! Mike was an amazing tour guide very knowledgeable and talented; he directed the tour in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. We were a small group of 5 which made it feel like a private tour. I would not change anything about my day, because for me it was perfect, but to talk logistics for others - there is not enough time to see the aquarium at canery row, but still plentybto see there. Also, it is a very full day which may not be the best for families with small children (not that the tour wouldn't be accomodating more that it is a long day driving).
