Great experience - This tour is the best way to see all that Monterey, Carmel, and the 17 MILE DRIVE have to offer. Carlos was an excellent and amazing guide, and Ben was so helpful in our pre planning discussions. Time was allowed to have lunch at Fisherman's Warf. Great experience with California Pacific Excursions,

Great tour from Monterey & 17 Mi Drive to Rocky Point - Our 6-hour tour with Carlos was wonderful in every way. In addition to providing informed commentary on everything we saw, he was very helpful in recommending stops along the way. We had lunch at Spanish Bay Inn with a spectacular view of the Pacific. He was happy to add a stop at Carmel Mission, which we requested. And on our final stop at Pebble Beach we enjoyed sipping drinks overlooking the 18th green. Not only was Carlos so accommodating, but so too was company owner, Ben, helping us to restructure our tour when road closures on Pacific Coast Highway made it impossible to get to the original tour schedule. It was a most enjoyable day and we highly recommend California Pacific Excursions
