    This was a very interesting tour learned a lot of the history of Monterey tour guide did a great job with colorful stories
    Informative, Enjoyable tour.

    The history of the constitution of CA, looking at the writings of each person in the same building the convention was held. Looking at the different professions and length of time the person was in CA. Fascinating that a person living in CA 3 months would be included in the creation. Import taxation was at the Bay of Monterey. Ships coming in to San Diego did not have customs/taxation origionally.
    Nice Lady Shirley....

    Nice Lady Shirley. However tour has gone down hill since years earlier. Buildings closed and looks like the city of Monterey is more interested in tourism and not founding fathers history sites. Extremely disappointed from taking on my own years ago. Started 15 minutes late waiting for no shows.
    Monterey is super special.. knew it all along - Tom solidified with the tour!

    We have a vacation home in Monterey.. so we claim to know the area.. we learned a lot from Tom! He reminded me of my Dad.. who is a resident expert historian of many areas.. and he told the story of Monterey as we walked around. I loved knowing how special Monterey is to California's story and how it came to be.. why not Monterey as the capitol? My teenage kids enjoyed it too - it was a great family affair. We love tours.. it's hard to do it yourself.. why not let an expert show you around? It was long overdue for us! Sometimes it was hard to hear with the traffic, but that's part of the city!!! We like it.. we debriefed over our dinner and we all agreed it was a nice 2 hour afternoon - and we are much better educated - and think Monterey is super special!
