Our tour guide Danillo was AMAZING!! He was very friendly to all and very knowledgeable about past and present information along the way with no shortage of cheesy jokes! The stops were great with exception of the lighthouse, seeing as we were stopping at the cafe/bakery minutes down the road. The cafe/bakery in Davenport is a must stop! Lots of time in Monterey to explore the great views, shopping & dining. Mile 17 is a MUST drive for scenery, luxury homes and golf courses. Although, not nearly enough time was given for golf enthusiasts to see everything at Pebble Beach. Carmel has a lot of shopping, dining and a beach but one hour was not enough time to explore it all. For me, it definitely would be a 5 star review if the stops were adjusted to allow more time at the featured stops. The price was reasonable for all the places visited.

Liked this tour a lot. It was nice having to see the different sites, without also doing the driving. It was our 1st trip to San Fran, so for us to drive down the Pacific Coast Highway, stopping in Monterrey, doing the 17-mile drive stopping at Pebble Beach, and then Carmel. We got to experience a lot, and enjoyed all of it.

Danillo was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The lighthouse stop and coffee stop were both well below my expectations. The amenities were unusable at the Pigeon Point lighthouse (and it was a construction zone) while the Davenport coffee/ amenity stop was totally inadequate. Can I suggest future routes head for something clean and organized in Santa Cruz instead. We spent a ridiculous amount of time in Davenport because the cafe couldn't accommodate us and yet saw nothing of Santa Cruz which would have several options.
