Had an amazing experience with our tour guide Evan as they showed us the highlights of Monterey and the history of both old and new Monterey. We were able to take in all the important sites along 17 mi drive with stops along the way to see beautiful spots and animals including sea otters, seals, sea lions and more! This is hands down the best way to see everything and get a good idea of where things are in Monterey and Carmel area before venturing out on your own. You won't be disappointed by this trip! I highly recommend it! Evan was a great tour guide - super friendly and we never felt rushed at any of our stops to take photos.
