About this experience
This day trip from San Francisco is an 11-hour guided coach tour along California's Pacific Coast Highway 1 to the Monterey Peninsula and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Departing from 478 Post St, the route passes through Santa Cruz and Capitola before reaching the rugged coastline of the Central California coast. The tour travels the 17-Mile Drive, with stops at the Lone Cypress and Pebble Beach Golf Course, one of the most photographed stretches of the California coast. At Monterey, guests have a two-hour stop to walk Cannery Row, the waterfront strip made famous by John Steinbeck's novels, or visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium independently at their own expense. The tour then continues to Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small coastal town known for its cottage architecture and art galleries, where a one-hour stop allows time to explore on foot. Transport throughout is by air-conditioned luxury coach with an onboard bathroom, accompanied by a certified driver and guide. Food, beverages, gratuities, and hotel pickup are not included. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and booking covers all transport and guiding for the full day.
