Enjoyable day. Pep was our tour guide and she kept everyone entertained throughout the trip to and from Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. The scenery was beautiful and we enjoyed a nice lunch, a sweet treat, and a stroll through Carmel before heading on to the Big Sur area.

Big Sur
Worked well with the mileage. Occasionally it seemed to miss a section so not sure if my fault or programs. Sometimes the last word was incomplete.

Great sightseeing tour
It was an exceptional tour. Our guide Tina was very accommodating and found hidden gems for us that helped us avoid the crowd. Everyone in our group really enjoyed the whole experience.

TOTALLY Amazing Experience
Amazing experience! We had the most delightful day with Tina our tour guide! She was so knowledgeable and helpful showing us the beautiful sites of Big Sur, Carmel and the surrounding areas! She asked about our interests and tailored the experience to what we wanted! My husband loved that he could experience the beautiful sites while Tina took care of all the driving! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE to anyone who is in the area! It is worth every penny!

Big Sur
I didn’t know what to expect on a self guided tour but I’m so glad I decided to do it! My 15 year old daughter and I loved the tid bit of interesting history and small hidden gems he pointed out along the way. Made the drive enjoyable and stress free!

Lovely scenery all day!!
Began our journey with efficient, friendly, and informative staff at Big Sur Adventures. We rode down to Asilomar State Beach and then made our way slowly to Monterey’s fishermen’s wharf, making lots of stops. The bike path is especially nice in Monterey. Loved the fat tires—spoiled me for riding anything else again! An absolutely lovely day.

A perfect experience
Fabulous (Tina) and scenic ride. Worth it for the tailored experience. Tina was delightful, interesting and knowledgeable (as well as an expert driver). We had a very peaceful, scenic and enjoyable day. Definitely recommend this company (very reliable), this driver (Tina) and this tour.

Highly recommended!
The self-guided tour was wonderful to have as we drove down the PCH 1. The tour kept the family engaged during the drive. Our "kids" are 24 and 21 years-old and absolutely loved it. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Day Out in Scenic Northern Cal
My friend and I had a great day out with our tour guide, Pep. Pep was very knowledgeable about the area with dome fun facts. She was also flexible on how we structured our tour. This tour was breathtaking and well worth it. The views and photos we got to take were stunning. I highly recommend this tour.

When to visit

With few connecting roads, Highway 1 is prone to lengthy traffic backups, especially during the summer high season. Slow down and enjoy the views.
Perched on the coast, the road is vulnerable to rockslides, mudslides, and construction closures. Always check road conditions before departing for Big Sur.
There is no mobile phone service along much of the highway, due to its remoteness.
Those who suffer from car sickness may want to consider taking precautionary measures before a trip to Big Sur.
