I had been trying to book this tour forever.. It was shut down because of the pandemic. I’m newly remarried and my husband wanted to do this! This tour was a birthday present! The bus was in downtown Monterey. Doug met us early and told us it would just be my husband and I as the other 12 had to cancel last night. So how cool.. just us two on the bus… I shared how excited my husband was to do this tour, so Doug gave us extra tidbits and stops along the way! We so much enjoyed the tour that I’m telling all my friends and coworkers about it! Doug actually played the movie script at the exact location where we were! I’ve lived in the Bay for 30 years and was not aware of so many cool movies filmed there!! My husband was thrilled!!!

Excellent tour from start to finish. We saw over 70 clips and sites shot in Monterey, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, and Carmel. Doug is a considerate host and an expert at the films ( and now TV) projects shot in the area. You can tell he loves this area and it’s filmography. Well worth your time.

Doug's tour is a fun, informative, and scenic way to get an overview of the Monterey/Carmel area. Although it is called a movie tour, it is MUCH more than just havng various film locations pointed out. You'll see Pacific Grove's Victorian homes, drive along 17 Mile Drive past homes of the rich/famous, wander on your own through the clubhouse at Pebble Beach, and more. Doug is extremely personable and peppers the entire tour with tales from his many years in the area. You'll love it!

A delightful tour of movies and the Monterey Bay Area. While being driven around this beautiful area you can hear insider stories about some of the many films shot here, and watch the scene just as you ride past the exact spot. A visit to Pebble Beach is the high point! Celebs anyone???

If you are a movie buff you will love. Even if you aren't it is a great way to see some beautiful scenery throughout the Monterrey Peninsula and learn some interesting things about the movies that were made here and even some history.

This tour was amazing, and Doug knows all the details and aspects of movie making, too! He points out when casting or writing, etc., is especially important. We saw more than 25 clips of movies and were in the exact spot at times or looking on from a nearby spot. I would do it again and recommend it as a must do for anyone who loves movies! We had two stops for restroom breaks (one longer at Pebble Beach Lodge) so it was very comfortable. We had comfy seats, headsets, and our own screens. I can't wait to rewatch, or in some cases, watch for the first time, some of these movies. Thank you, Doug!

You should not miss this tour. when you visit Monterey. Doug - the tour's personable owner and operator - is an amazing guide to the Monterey scenery and its use in memorable movies such as "Play Misty for me", and to the beautiful landscape on the 17-mile drive on the Monterey Peninsula. The tour bus features monitors that display the scenes in the movies that are linked to Monterey sites. Doug is very flexible in responding to requests made by participants during the tour. We will not forget this enjoyable experience.

It was great to have you back in business after Covid slowed your business down. We’ll be back. Saw everything but it was cloudy.
