The coastline is beautiful and the small towns of Carmel and Monterey are exquisite. The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny.

Our day-long tour is a breeze and very enjoyable with Danilo. He was very engaging as we go along the route and he drives like a pro; safely and smoothly. I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and hopefully they will have Danilo as their guide/driver

our driver/ host was very knowledgable and nice; this issue was not his fault.
Consider reading all reviews before booking. A reviewer stated a few weeks before our tour the bus was having AC issues. We had no AC for most of the the tour, it was a very, very, very hot ride and they should have called for another bus or mechanic. I just wanted to get back.
