Because of its popularity, it's no surprise that Monterey offers plenty of 17-mile Drive Trips. But which are the best? To find out, we've analyzed all of the tours in the area not just for their experiences, but also for their price, guest ratings, quality, and service.
The famous 17-mile Drive is a famous, gorgeous, and scenic stretch of road near Monterey, Carmel, and Pebble Beach. If you plan to go on your own, an admission is charged (around $12 per car), but there are better ways to do it in our opinion. A bike tour is one option, as you'll have a chance to get up close and personal with the landscape, take photos, and admire the views. After all, the views are why people come, and they are spectacular! We've visited the scenic drive ourselves and can say that taking a tour is definitely worth the trip. These are the best to choose from, depending on the type of activity that you're up for.
