We are a family from Sydney Australia and had an amazing time with Pep our tour guide. Pep is a fantastic guide and full of local knowledge. We were able to spend extra time at Santa Cruz, Monterey and Pebble Beach. To be honest we could have spend a week seeing this beautiful part of the US. I highly recommend contacting Pep and going on a private tour instead of a large bus group. The flexibility was appreciated and we all had a great time. We would love to see the places again

Thanks Craig. Everyone worked together to make the day memorable. 1/1/23 was a magical day during extreme winter storms. I could not have asked for a better day or family. Hope to see you again on your next visit.

A great trip from San Francisco to Big Sur in a single day. Pep knew a lot and she was a considerate, interesting guide for adults. My people were complaining about the nasty weather in which we started and ended our trip. But Pep told us that the weather clears out on the shore and she was right. We could admire the breathtaking views Big Sur was offering, and enjoy a delightful lunch at a picturesque little restaurant in Carmel with a stroll after lunch.

Thanks Tamas. The weather was not great. One has to make the best of the conditions they are faced with. You were a fun group and we hope to see you again in the future.

We were in San Francisco for my daughter's graduation. I thought this might be my only chance to see San Francisco, so we contact Alegro Private Tours to organize a tour. Pep customized the tour based on what our request . I found her highly professional and well oranized. We visited all the city highlights Lombard Street, Palace of Fine Arts and ofcase the Golden Gate bridge. Additionally, we went to Sausalito and had a great lunch at Barell House. The food was great, and the views of the bay were amazing. This was the best use of our time and a perfect graduation celebration. She provided snacks for us as well. Those were the best truffles I have ever had.

Congrats to your daughters graduation again. I love graduations as it makes a new chapter for the entire family. We had a fun time seeing all the other excited students that came along for the celebration.
