1 Hour Essential Monterey Tour

Start your Monterey sightseeing adventure among the city’s historic adobes and plazas, then follow the waterfront past Fisherman’s Wharf, San Carlos Beach, and Cannery Row. Your talking GoCar brings Monterey’s Spanish and maritime history to life while showcasing the stunning Monterey Bay views that define the city today.

This one-hour Monterey GoCar tour is designed for guests who want to experience the city’s essential sights and stories before lunch, the aquarium, or another activity. The route flows naturally from Historic Monterey through San Carlos Beach and along Cannery Row, with a stop near the Monterey Bay Aquarium exterior.

With GPS-guided stories along the way, you’ll learn about Monterey’s history, landmarks, and waterfront as you explore at your own pace. Pause for photos, take in the scenery, or simply enjoy the drive—this Monterey GoCar tour gives first-time visitors an easy and flexible way to see the best of Monterey in just one hour.

Your standard reservation time is designed to give you enough time to complete the route at a comfortable pace under normal traffic conditions, without extended stops.

Want to take your time and enjoy the sights? We recommend adding 60 minutes to your reservation, giving you extra time to stop, explore, take photos, and make the most of your experience.

If you decide to keep the vehicle longer than your prepaid reservation, you’ll only be charged for the additional minutes used—not an entire additional hour. Any overage is calculated by the minute using the tour’s discounted hourly rate.
