Carlos was a gem! Professional, knowledgeable and a joy to spend the day with. Our private tour did not disappoint as Carlos skillfully directed us to beautiful views, hidden paths and the best picture spots we never would’ve found without taking this tour. If you’re wanting to see it all with ease, book this private tour without question.

We stayed in Monterey for a few days during the 2nd week in August. The temps were cool, in the 60’s and the skies were clear everyday without rain. There was some fog in the morning due to the cold pacific water, but it burned off by about noon. We started our drive down the Pacific Coast highway on a Monday morning with our first stop at Carmel. We drove through town and saw lots of high end shops and restaurants and continued on until we got to Carmel’s beach. We stopped and took a short walk on the beach which was very nice. One of the famous golf courses could be seen to the right in the distance. I believe it was the Pebble Beach course. We took a few photos and then continued our drive. Our next stop was Point Lobos State Park. The parking lots were full by late morning so we could not drive in to the park. We then decided to park our car out on the road and we then walked in. We stopped at the ranger station at the park entrance to get a park map. The walk turned into a hike of over a mile by the time we reached an ocean overlook area. But it was worth it. Below in the kelp we saw sea otters. Off in the distance in the ocean we could see some whales spouting and one eventually breached. It was quite a sight. We stayed for about 45 minutes viewing the otters and whales before hiking back to our car. Point Lobos is a must see place along the way. We drove over the Bixby Bridge without stopping. There were few if any parking spots along the road there and I had seen enough photos of it already. We continued on until we saw the beautiful turquoise water of Garapata beach. We pulled into the on road parking area and took the short walk down to the beach. The color of the water there is a bright turquoise and with the clear sky we had and bright sunshine, it looked beautiful. We took off our shoes and walked through the sand until we reached the water which we quickly found to be very cold. We admired the beach for about a half hour before we headed back to our car and continued our drive south. There are some twists and sharp corners on the PCH, so there needs to be some very good and steady concentration by the driver as some areas have shear drop offs. Our next stop was at the restaurant Nepenthe for lunch. Nepenthe is perched on a hillside about 800 ft. above the Pacific Ocean. The views from most of their seating is fantastic. We chose to sit outside because of the beautiful weather we had that day. The food is pricey and for the most part not very fancy, but good quality. If I went again, I would ask for seating on the railing so I would be directly facing the view of the ocean. We enjoyed a leisurely late lunch. We now headed south again for a short drive to McWay Falls in Julia Pfieffer State Park. Parking there costs $10 for a car, however, there was no attendant. It is an honor system where you fill out a form and envelope and self pay by cash. The envelope is placed in a pay box. There is a short walk from the parking area to a viewing overlook. You are not allowed to go down to the beach where the falls exit the rocks. It is a great view and also a great photo opportunity spot. It was now late afternoon when we headed back to our car. They was no point in journeying any further south as the road had been washed out by a mud slide in 2023. So we headed back north on PCH. The north to south drive is a little less stressful since we were no longer on the outside lane near the shear drop offs. It was a great day and a nice drive back to Monterey.

This review is not for our Big Sur private guided excursion in our SUV. They drove themselves and accidentally posted a review on our product page. We contacted TripAdvisor, but they can’t move this to the suitable product page. We are glad that they enjoyed their own Big Sur trip. Best, Ben

Carlos picked us up at our hotel and gave us a wonderful tour from the Inn at Spanish Bay to the Redwood Forest (last stop). Took a quick side trip to a gorgeous and "off the beaten path" beach that was reminiscent of a beach I visited in Kaui. He was a wonderful conversationalist and the Big Sur tour was our favorite excursion. Highly recommend Carlos! Thanks Carlos!!!
