Big Sur & Monterey: L'Odyssée Côtière de Rêve depuis San Jose

Meilleure expérience. Carlos, le chauffeur était gentil et très compétent. La personne qui a tout mis en place était également très gentille et a tout facilité. M'a même envoyé un article sur la façon de réduire le risque de contracter le virus corona avec les différents modes de voyage. Voyager en voiture avec un voyage minimal et court dans Amtrak avec tout le monde espacé était une bonne option. Prenez simplement quelques lingettes désinfectantes sérieuses pour la partie train et essuyez tout avant de vous asseoir, restez à l'écart des autres personnes et vous pouvez voyager de cette façon avec un risque réduit. De plus, vous pouvez voir tous les sites et ne pas avoir à vous soucier de garder ets sur la route. Vaut chaque centime. Je souhaite seulement que ce soit une journée complète au lieu d'une demi-journée, mais l'arrivée la plus précoce à Salinas n'est disponible vis-à-vis d'Amtrak qu'après 11h00, mais l'annonce indique que le train part à 7h30.

C'était incroyable. Nous avons tous deux passé un bon moment. Carlos notre guide était très poli et très sympathique. Il nous a emmenés dans de nombreux endroits en peu de temps. Nous avons passé un super moment.

This tour is a scenic presentation, parts of the scenery was nice, but on the whole it was not a "wow" scene. Our tour guide is very accommodating, however our family felt the description lacked some history of most of the sites. Ben, tour guide spoke with a moderate Mexican accent, at times, not sure what he said. We passed great farm land, but now sure the kind of produce raised. The driver is not sure what is growing either. Most impressive was the city of Carmel, private homes looked unique in design, appears to be millionaire's and billionaire's home. Big Sur area wasn't impressive, but had lunch at a quaint restaurant conducive for that area, food was good.

The drive along the coast was beautiful, especially going through Carmel-by-the-Sea. Juan made every attempt to accommodate our schedule and let us see all the places we wanted to visit. We really enjoyed the trip!

Our knowledgeable driver knew wonderful places to stop and added comments about the areas. Carlos pointed out all sorts of things we would have missed had we been without him.

This drive was full of S curves, but that didn't take away from the beautiful beaches and the rock formations. The Bixby bridge is almost a hundred years old and amazing. The stops give you such beauty.

Absolutely a must-see! The view is breath-taking, and so peaceful. Bring a sweater, as it is windy! The arch is gorgeous, the beach was almost empty when we went, and we were able to find see stars and many crustaceous.

On this tour I was able to see and photograph the beautiful California coast. Carlos was an amazing guide who knew where all the out of the way spots were that made this tour special. Thank you Carlos! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Driver was punctual for pickup. SUV was very comfortable. The itinerary sent a few days prior was detailed, stop by stop, and provided a very good outline of what was to come. The area from Monterrey to Mcway Fall is vast so ideally one would spend 3+ days in the area, but time was compressed for us and this 1-day tour provided the highlights of Carmel to Mcway Fall perfectly. It’s so convenient to have the driver know the narrow, twisty-turning road so well; and he knew the best places to drop off for perfect pictures. We never had to stress with driving or finding parking. You might be a little hurried to eat and shop at certain stops so keep it under 30 minutes so you can see everything (especially at Pfeiffer State Park) and complete the tour in 8 hours.

Monterey, California, and its neighboring gem, Big Sur, provided me with an enchanting experience that seamlessly blended amazing views, tranquility, and outdoor adventures. The drive along the coastal stretch between these two destinations is nothing short of breathtaking. The serene and peaceful drive along the Pacific Coast Highway offers panoramic views of the ocean that are simply awe-inspiring. The coastal cliffs, crashing waves, and rugged landscapes create a sensory feast, making every twist and turn along the route a visual delight. Both Monterey and Big Sur boast incredible hiking opportunities that cater to nature enthusiasts of all levels. The trails meander through lush forests, along cliffside paths, and to scenic viewpoints that showcase the stunning coastal scenery. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply seeking a leisurely stroll, the variety of trails ensures that everyone can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the region. The abundance of scenic spots, including iconic landmarks like Bixby Creek Bridge, adds to the charm of the journey. Monterey and Big Sur offer a perfect escape for those looking to unwind in nature, soak in amazing views, and embark on memorable outdoor adventures.
