    Review of: Monterey, Carmel and 17-Mile Drive - Full Day Tour from San Francisco
    Great sights, time management at stops to improve.
    Really some incredibly beautiful views down the 17 mile drive, Pebble Beach, and Monterrey Bay. I think time management at each stop could be improved. Instead of the tour guide saying, “you have 20 minutes at this stop” say “it is now 1:20pm, you have 20 minutes at this stop, be back at 1:40pm, back at 1:40pm everybody.”
    It is much easier to remember the “back on the bus” time than what time you got off the bus and try to factor in the math as you get distracted and excited about the views and exploration.
    Less time at the shops in Carmel and more time at Monterrey and Pebble Beach.
    Otherwise, absolutely stunning stops and would recommend to anyone.

    Review of: Carmel Small Group Walking Food & Cultural Tour
    Great time w Amber in Carmel
    We have been on many food tours and this one was one of the best. Not only did we get some background info on this cute little town but the tastings were varied and enough without being overwhelming. We had a hot dog/corn/sausage (pick 1), honey, chocolate, rice noodles, charcuterie, and an eclair. The weather was perfect and parking was easy. We would highly recommend this tour and our local tour guide Amber

    Review of: Guided 2-Hour Walking Tour in Carmel by the Sea
    Pleasant Surprise!!
    This tour was so special right from the beginning. It was full of history and insider info about the town and area as Monica had done exhaustive research for her book on Carmel. But never a dull moment. We wound thru nooks & crannies and heard wonderful background stories. Monica is somebody you’d love to spend the afternoon with.

    Review of: Day Trip to Monterey and Carmel via California Coast
    Monterey and Carmel Day Trip
    You'll be very lucky if you get George as your driver for this trip - his commentary was fabulous and we learnt so much - he's also an excellent driver. This is a great wasy to spend a day, the coastline is rugged and dramatic and the stops were all great. We enjoyed seeing Monterey and Carmel too, very different to San Francisco! Would highly recommend.

    Review of: Big Sur Self-Driving Audio Tour in California (Highway 1, Pacific Coast Highway)
    Informative
    Took a bit to understand at first, but then worked well. Lots of information and thoughts for ideal stops for great views, hideaways and pictures!

    Review of: Monterey & Carmel Explorer
    Nice way to see the coast
    Be prepared for a full day of driving. The many stops along the way were both breath-taking and needed to break up the drive, but you sure get to see all the gorgeous spots along Highway 1. The guide was interesting and had a great play list of California music for you to listen to as he drove. With only an hour and a half in Monterey, not sure the Aquarium is really doable.

    Review of: Carmel Monterey and Big Sur
    Great experience!
    What a great experience with Fred! He picked us up at our hotel in San Francisco and we drove down to Monterrey, pebble beach and Carmel. We had time to explore what we wanted to do and he suggested places we didn’t think of. He is s such a nice and genuine guy which just made our experience that much better. Next time we are back we will have him take us to Napa. We highly recommend Dingo Tours!!

    Review of: Macaron making with a Master Chef - Carmel-by-the-Sea
    Incredible experience
    I’m blown away by the experience that my daughter and I had from this birthday gift experience. She was so knowledgeable and friendly. I bought her kit which I can’t believe to try when we get back. It is totally worth the.

    Review of: Carmel-by-the-Sea's Fairytale Houses: A Self-Guided Walking Tour
    Hugh Comstock Fairtale Homes Carmel.
    The GPS worked pretty well, but there were times the narration didn't quite sync with where were walking or standing. But overall it was good. Fun to find and see these homes. An interesting and quirky part of Carmel history.

    Review of: Guided 2-Hour Point Lobos Nature Walk
    WONDERFUL!
    Monica greeted us with a giant smile and led the way with lots of interesting information throughout the trails. So many trails to go down to, but she knew exactly which ones to travel through which helped my partner and I really relax and enjoy the views. It was wonderful, 10/10 would recommend!

    Review of: Carmel Delight Scavenger Hunt
    Great fun
    This was so fun. We had 4 in our group for a girls weekend and we totally enjoyed the scavenger hunt. We saw a lot of cool stuff, learned about Carmel and saw things we probably wouldn’t have seen.
