Review by:   avantika g,    June 2018 4 star review of Monterey, Carmel and 17-Mile Drive Day Trip from San Francisco - recommended.
The tour was very good! The bus ride was comfortable and aside from the official stops, our bus captain Do stopped at quite a few more picturesque locations! All in all a good trip! But there were a few things that could be changed. First, the hotel pickup was over 20 mins late and when I called their office I was told to come on over on my own so that I don't miss the tour. I thought it might be because of traffic or other logistic problems but it was actually not, because the pickup for the Viator Napa tour that I took was on the dot punctual. It's not a big thing but just to let travellers know that you might want to have contingency plans! The other thing was it would have been much better to stop at the beach at Carmel-by the sea instead the stop was in the town of Carmel, which is just shops and cafes etc. While the town is beautiful I think the stop should have been at the beach because most people aren't really looking to shop no one on my tour did!. It could also be nice to include both the beach and the town. But overall I would recommend the tour, Monterey Bay and the aquarium, Carmel and he 17 mile drive are gorgeous places to visit!

Just okay. The drive was pretty but would've rather stopped at beaches more than the towns

Loved this trip. Danilo was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. The bus was right on time to pick us up from our hotel and the whole experience was amazing. The drive through the California coast was breathtaking. Thank you Viator. I've already recommended to a couple of friends.

Very interesting, but too many photo stops! Would have preferred less photo stops and more time at Pebble Beach. We only had 15 minutes there! Didn't have time to see the famous 18th hole. Barely had enough time for restroom!

For the most part this trip was very good and would have been even better in nicer weather rained off and on. It is a lot of bus time but the scenery is beautiful and there were numerous stops along the way, although at times the driver seemed a bit unsure of where to pull off the highway. We made the 17 mile drive through Pebble Beach in the pouring rain so it was not possible to stop for any pictures but you still got an appreciation for some of the mansions along the route. The stop in Monterey was very good with plenty of time to view the sites and/or visit the Aquarium. The Aquarium is well worth a visit but it is pricey - 50.00 US for adults, 40 US for seniors. The most disappointing part of the tour was Carmel where we had an hour's free time and we were dropped off at a shopping centre. Would much rather have spent the time seeing some of the sights in Carmel e.g. Walking tour or at least a map and some direction as to what to see in the allotted time.

I had taken this tour years ago and wanted to take my daughter. The scenery was beautiful, but the trip longer than I remembered. The stop in Monterey was nice, but the stop in Carmel was an unfinished upscale mall. Luckily there were shops behind it. The driver Kenneth interacted with everyone on the bus, remembered where we were from and asked questions about it. He was very genial and seemed genuinely interested in learning about everything. He had even visited places where the passengers were from. A real asset to the company.

A must do trip. The scenic drive along the coast was breathtaking. Monterey and Carmel are great tourist communities. Our driver/guide was a wealth of information and a real personality who made the long trip fun.

We traveled in a comfortable coach driven by Thomas, our guide for the trip. His commentary of places we were passing on our journey was both informative and interesting. He kept us engaged and answered all of our questions. Thomas was respectful of each individual's needs while keeping everyone on schedule. The coastal scenery was spectacular and we had several opportunities to capture it on camera. Overall a wonderful trip. Thank you Thomas for making it so interesting and pleasurable.

Read about beautiful Monterey, Carmel and the Big Sur many times, and always wanted to visit for myself. Finally did and it was great! Beautiful seascapes and landscapes!

WE should never have had a stop in Davenport. Only a short time into the ride - that place was the most disgusting, filthy place I have seen in a long time. One bathroom for all and not even toilet paper. Garbage all over outside. No help in the food area and long lines as a result. A terrible waste of time and for no reason. Driver - Kevin - was good and provided tons of information on everything. So I would rate him 5 stars.

Amazing trip, fantastic reviews, Monterey and Carmel are beautiful, made staying in dirty, drug addict, homeless infested San Francisco totally worth it. The driver was also amazing
