Historical presentation of Cannery Row and John Steinbeck - Only issue we had was meeting our guide because the confirmation I received only had an address which covers a very large building. Should have also included "at the plaza."
Otherwise very informative.

True Local Character - Shirley is an amazing tour guide. We really enjoyed her stories about Cannery Row. Fascinating history of Cannery Row and the area. She knows details about plants, people, culture, that made our walk colorful and fun. True local character!

Perfect walking trip - It was a fabulous way to spend a couple morning hours. We learned all about the area historically and current concerns about the town. The walk was perfectly paced and relaxing. Thom was a wonderful guide. Learning from a local is always the best way to walk around town. We highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour! - Shirley is one of the most knowledgable guides I have ever met and she gave an amazing tour. Highly recommend the historic tour as well that she does.
A small thing Tripadvisor booking through Viator had some issues it's better to book directly with the company called walkmontery dot com You get to support the local tour guides directly as well

Very knowledgeable tour guide on Monterey history - Thom guided us through Cannery Row in Monterey for a couple of hours and we learned a huge amount about that area, which is what we wanted. We enjoyed Thom so much we stayed later and went on his afternoon tour of the History of Monterey, which we also extremely enjoyed.

Excellent Cannery Row Tour! - Highly recommend! We had 3 generations on this tour (My mom, my son and myself). Everyone loved it! Our family has been on walking tours around the world. It is a fun and interesting way to share history with our 3 children, who are now young adults. Many thanks to our guide, Tom, who brought the history of Cannery Row to life. It felt like a friend was showing us around his beloved hometown. We will be back for their other Walking tour of Monterey.

Amazing tour of Cannery Row - Tom was an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable of the history of Cannery Row, and he is passionate about it. He is a great story teller and brings Cannery Row back to life with his descriptions. The tour is about 2hrs, and after the it you will see Cannery Row in a whole new way. This tour is definitely worth it!
