Overview of your San Francisco tour

Northern California's Monterey Bay area is a spectacular part of the state that offers beautiful scenery and breathtaking beaches. 1) Hwy 1 - We'll drive along the dramatic Pacific Coast Highway One, stopping at Pigeon Point Lighthouse to enjoy its stunning coastal views and take photos. 2) Monterey & Carmel - Along Monterey coastline, I will take you to Cannery Row. You will also enjoy a cruise along the world famous 17-Mile Drive, a scenic road that runs through Pebble Beach, following the coastline and passing through several famous golf courses, nearby mansions and past California's famed Lone Cypress Tree, Bird Rock and The Lodge at Pebble Beach. You will take a stroll through downtown Carmel, visiting boutique shops, restaurants and its architecture. You may customize your itinerary, by replacing the above with Monterey Bay Aquarium or Carmel-Mission basilica.

Amazing road trip! We had very good time. Caesar is a very safe driver and an excellent guide. If you have kids, Monterey aquarium is a must see. 17 miles drive is iconic, but Carmel by the Sea is such a lovely place! make sure to budget more time for Carmel if you love picturesque streets, pretty houses, gardens and visiting boutique shops. We were a group of 6 people (2 adults, 2 kids and 2 teens). Everyone enjoyed the trip. Caesar was very accommodating and modified itinerary based on our preferences. He drove us all the way up to Bixby bridge because it was on top of our list of places to see. But we skipped Santa Cruz. Highly recommend Caesar as a tour guide and this road trip as a top choice for your San-Francisco family vacations.

Great Tour! Caesar was the best, he knew all the area, the history of the places. Very professional and caring about our experience. His passion about the place was contagious, we were able to experience a local view tour. Awesome experience, we recommend Caesar highly to any tourist that want to learn San Francisco/ California history!!!

A very comprehensive tour that was modified to include Big Sur. Caesar anticipated our interests, made informed suggestions and spent extra time with us to make sure we saw everything that we wanted. An unforgettable day with amazing scenery and great commentary.
