Top California Day Trips - page 28

We had an amazing time!!! We are actually local and took the tour with my 9 year old so he could learn about the area and so we would stay on a schedule..our guide Katya was WONDERFUL - she was so great at telling the history of the area and gave great instructions on how long we were able to stay at each stop! Will recommend to our family and friends traveling to the area

Loved that this was an option since I really didn’t want to deal with a rental car and driving on unfamiliar highways and all that. I really was hoping to see Bixby Bridge near Big Sur and was bummed that this tour only goes as far as Carmel. Carmel was honestly the least enjoyable part of the trip, it’s a lot of overpriced restaurants and shops or a long walk to the beach and a steep walk back. I would skip Pebble Beach and Carmel all together and spend the time in Big Sur instead. This is just personal preference tho, I prefer scenery over shopping. Overall a really great route with a lot of good stops that don’t involve hiking at all. Nate was a great personality to have as the tour guide. He just has a way of making everything he says hilarious. He kept things entertaining and was so knowledgeable about the area and wildlife

This was an amazing tour! Nate our guide was amazing so informational his knowledge was spewing and he kept us entertained! We LOVE him! Only downfall was we didn’t like Venice beach, we would have liked to have had more time at the Hollywood walk of fame and Santa Monica pier! But that’s just our opinion as we didn’t care for Venice Beach!
