Why Go with Us to Monterey & Carmel?

   Why tour the Monterey Peninsula with A Friend in Town and not just rent a car or take the big bus tour? Because driving yourself, you'll waste time figuring out exactly where everything is and focusing on the road rather than the scenery. The big buses can't go some places and rush you everywhere else. We show you the off-the-beaten-path places most visitors miss, let you determine our pace and choose where we lunch… helping you remember that you're on vacation, minimizing your stress, maximizing your enjoyment.

  There are many more reasons why we're your best choice! for a day (or overnight) in Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Carmel or Big Sur.

What will it Cost?

Because each tour is designed to fit your interests, our fees vary. Basically you pay by the number of hours in your itinerary. We do not add the fuel surcharges, "license fees," "tax" and mandatory gratuities that many other companies do.

   *These fees are for couples, groups of up to 6/7 people or solo travelers. For groups of 7 to 25 (whereby we charter a minibus), please ask for a quote.

 **A gratuity is customary and will be appreciated but is not required.
