5.00Evan is a wonderful host and guide. Very knowledgeable of the area, history, geography and the awesome redwood trees. This was a wonderful, relaxing trip with amazing views of the Big Sur coastline. We totally enjoyed the day and would love to return for another visit. When we do, we will call Ag Venture Tours!
Great way to spend the day!

5.00Thanks for a lovely afternoon. We experienced the beauty of Big Sur, Carmel and Pfeiffer Park. Your tour was informative, providing information about each area visited and included maps, photographs and text. Thank you, too for accommodating our entire group and coordinating our various destinations. A wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
LOTS of natural beauty and knowledge packed into a short trip!

5.00I was part of a group of five women coming from a writing workshop. We had the best time! Evan was a fantastic and knowledgable host. He was an expert at driving on Highway 1 (which would have made me a nervous wreck!) and knew all of the best (and safest!) places to stop for photos. He had great facts about the history and wildlife of the area, and I would have loved to have taken advantage of his background in wine if time had allowed. I didn't realize that we were going to see more than the ocean along Highway 1 and I particularly enjoyed his insight about the redwoods at the Big Sur Lodge. Highly recommend!
Very informative and enjoyable

5.00We had a really nice time on the tour. It was nice not to have to be watching the road. Evan pointed out nuerous places and gave us the whole back story. We also stopped at a few interesting places as well. We’re all really happy that we chose to do the tour with AG.
