Fred was a fantastic guide! Friendly, professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and took us to the best spots! Fred ensured we got to see what was at the top of our sightseeing list and we got back to the hotel in time for our dinner reservations. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Thanks so much for the wonderful, memorable day, Fred!

Our tour from San Francisco to Big Sur, Bixby Bridge, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey and many, many beautiful ocean views and sight stops along the way, was simply perfect!
Our tour guide, Fred, was fantastic and shared a lot of very interesting information about the area and sights. He was very knowledgeable and graciously answered all of our questions.
The stop at Gayle’s bakery in Capitola was just amazing - cappuccinos and croissants were scrumptious!
Our lunch stop in Carmel-by-the-Sea was picture perfect from the weather - an exceptional California Sunday day - to the restaurant suggestion Fred expertly suggested!
We all highly recommend Fred as your guide and this tour as an absolute “must” experience!

Mr. Marciano went above and beyond to ensure the day was perfect for me and my husband. He tailored the trip for our interests, was patient and kind while we stopped for photos and acted as our professional photographer for several landmarks. He recommended a delicious bakery for brunch to break up the trip. The drive and the day was perfect. I highly recommend Dingo Tours.
