The guide picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable/clean and well-kept Toyota Sienna. We casually made our way, after making it out of town to the coast, through the scenic views from Santa Cruz, Pacific Grove, Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Breathtaking coastal views. Bug Sur does not disappoint. Fred was our guide and was a wealth of information about the area and most friendly. Ask about the bakery in Capitola, just past Santa Cruz. Wow!

His enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. As we drove through picturesque landscapes, he shared fascinating stories and historical tidbits about each location. Not only did he point out landmarks, but he also encouraged us to take photos at the best spots, ensuring we captured the memories of our trip. During our breaks, he introduced us to local delicacies, regional specialties at the restaurants he suggested. Each meal was a delightful experience, from the cozy café serving homemade pastries to the vibrant market offering fresh produce and artisan snacks. By the end of the trip, we felt not only informed but also connected to each other and the places we visited. Fed had truly made this adventure memorable, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the beauty and culture of the region.

Brian was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. He was friendly and made us feel comfortable. He took us to beautiful spots along the pacific coast and stopped at places that we would never have found. We stopped at a fruit stand, a bakery, Big Sur, Carmel By the Sea, Pebble Beach and other places. We highly recommend booking a tour with his company.
