Carlos was a wonderful, accommodating guide. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and places we would have never found ourselves. I highly recommend this tour for those of you who want to have a stress free joyful day in Big Sur.

I contacted California Pacific Excursions to organize sight seeing trips around the San Jose/Monterey/Carmel areas and I am so glad we did. Their knowledge and suggestions were invaluable. The trip down to Big Sur and McWay Falls with Carlos was excellent and we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the beautiful Nepenthe Restaurant and gift shop. The following day Carlos took us up to San Francisco for the next part of our trip. Along the coast road stopping at any places of interest along the way. We cannot recommend California Pacific Excursions highly enough, they made our trip to the US. Special mention to Ben for all his help.

This is a magnificent, unforgettable drive. I'm so glad we had a driver and could pay full attention to the scenery and not to maneuvering the very curvy, twisting road along the coast. We were able to relax and enjoy the astounding beauty of the area with our very competent driver, Carlos.

I did the Big Sur tour and the views were amazing! Our tour guide Carlos took his time showing us all the beautiful and magnificent sights and we never felt rushed. He made sure we were comfortable and got to see everything that we wanted to see. I prefer the guided tours all the way because they know where all the good places are and all you have to do is focus on the sites instead of driving. I would highly recommend this guided tour.
