The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Los Angeles hotel in the morning, then heads south toward the Monterey Peninsula. You'll travel along the 17-Mile Drive, a scenic road that winds through Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove, hugging the Pacific coastline and passing the Lone Cypress, Bird Rock, and the Del Monte Forest of Monterey Cypress trees. The route is built around the world-class golf courses and multimillion-dollar oceanfront mansions that line the peninsula, so much of the drive is spent taking in those views and the seals and sea lions resting on the beaches below.

At the Lodge at Pebble Beach, you'll spend about an hour exploring the resort grounds and the surrounding area to see the ocean views and the architecture up close. After that, the drive continues north to San Francisco, where the driver drops you off at your destination. The entire journey, including travel time, rest stops, and time at the attractions, takes 8 to 10 hours. A professional driver-guide leads the tour and handles all the logistics. Admission to the 17-Mile Drive and Pebble Beach is included in the price.

Minimum group size is two travelers, and you'll ride in a passenger vehicle, minivan, van, or full-sized bus depending on your party size. Hotel pickup in Los Angeles is included. You'll need to confirm your pickup location at least three days before the tour date. The tour operator may adjust the itinerary based on weather, traffic, or other conditions, and if any scenic spot is closed, an alternative will be provided.
