Monterey & Carmel Day Tour, San Francisco Bus & Sightseeing Tours

Description

Starting from San Francisco, we head south on the world-famous Highway No 1, California's most scenic coastline! After the scenic ride, we visit Steinbeck's Cannery Row in Monterey. Enjoy the local seafood restaurants and shopping options, or explore the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium (additional fee applies). Monterey is a rich and entertaining mix of wildlife, stunning coastal views and important history. 

Next, you can venture through the charming seaside town Carmel-by-the-Sea with its historic main street that provides cute little shops, art galleries and cozy cafes to take a relaxing break. From here you can also wander down to the beach and take a stroll along the Pacific Ocean.

After exploring all the natural beauty throughout the day, we head to a more futuristic world on our way back to San Francisco as we pass through Silicon Valley, the high-tech capital of the world. Get a glimpse of the places where Facebook, Google and many other tech companies grew to life.

Sit back and relax while enjoying one spectacular view after another as we cruise down the world famous Highway No. 1, winding down the roads along the Pacific Ocean.
