LUXURY VOLVO/ROLLS ROYCE TOUR

Why so many FIVE-STAR reviews?

1. I know the terrain. Although I’m behind the wheel, I’m clear this is YOUR tour. I take the time to know you, your preferences, and the time available. There are many options, but you make the major decisions.

2. It’s your tour. I don’t put groups together. Ideal for two or three people; doable for four or more. Tours are conversational, unscripted, and the landscape exciting.

3. I’m a one-man show. I take responsibility for your enjoyment. I’m not looking to expand, and I’m a people pleaser.

In the beginning…

It began in June 1969, my first trip down Highway One. Life was never the same. Since that day, I’ve been up and down the coast hundreds of times. Adventures held value beyond the destination. Going “off the beaten path” allowed me to explore the wonders of Big Sur, John Steinbeck’s Salinas Valley, and Hearst Castle Country.

My idea of a good vacation is where you go places you normally don’t go, do things you normally don’t do, and learn something new.

Residing in Pebble Beach after 32 years as a Beverly Hills tennis pro, I am offering my services as your Personal Highway
1 Tour Guide. It’s a breathtaking trip through our central coast! You will be safe and able to fully enjoy the scenery
with me behind the wheel. You will receive lovely photographs from the trip.

Let me share with you our local galleries, restaurants and points of interest…Ventana, Big Sur Bakery, Nepenthe, the Hawthorne Gallery, the Big Sur Spirit Garden, or Partington Cove. It will be a day that will never leave you! Service is door to door.

What People Are Saying

"Our family wanted to see Big Sur but my husband did not want to make the drive. He heard it was dangerous and he would miss much if he were driving. Our day with Dave was a highlight of our summer vacation. We got to relax and enjoy the ride. Dave knew places "off the beaten path" we never would have gotten to see without him. We were having such a great time we extended the hours from what we originally planned. We will call Dave again on future visits."
The Furman Family - Scottsdale, AZ

"Hi Dave! Just to let you know how much we enjoyed the Monterey-Carmel-Big Sur-San Luis Obispo tour with you. Sitting on the wooden chairs with our feet in the river was definitely our idea of a good time. I salute you for the very smooth ride at Big Sur. You handled those treacherous curves with the quiet confidence of a pro.
Thank you for the extra surprises along the way - Morro Rock, Nit Wit Ridge, San Simeon, Cambria, the elephant seals, and the healthy snacks you brought along.
The September 3 2009 trip with you was one for the family archives. "
Take care and best regards, Lea Higgins | San Diego

"For first time travelers and those on tight schedules, BigSurToursandMore is perfect. So much more of our beautiful area can be seen with Dave. He knows and appreciates Monterey County and its uniqueness. The Big Sur coast is sure to be a highlight of their trip".
Lisa Budlong. Visitor Center Manager, Carmel Chamber of Commerce.

Dear Dave, Traveling up the California coast (from L.A. to Hearst Castle and Big Sur) with you as guide, friend, and driver were the two top days of our visit to California. Unbeatable as a way to see the sights without being herded into a big package tour or driving yourself and losing out on all the beauty that surrounds you. A great memory. Barbara M. Paris France

"National Geographic selected Big Sur Tours and More to design and coordinate the Ford Sport Trac Ultimate Road Test in January 2006.Based on Dave Engelberg's enthusiasm, detailed knowledge of Central California and gracious hosting skills, we are sure we made the right choice. Dave created a versatile schedule of activities and excursions that spoke to the essence of what National Geographic and Ford wanted to accomplish. The rugged route he suggested put Ford's prototypical Sport Trac to a real test and our National Geographic photographer was able to capture the beauty of Big Sur during this unique and thrilling adventure."

Renee Clepper | National Geographic

"We were able to get the 2007 Sport Trac in a number of locations for the video and photo shoots that we will use for years to come. Dave also gave our guests of honor an unparalleled adventure along the California Coast. He was a great host and director and understood the business marketing needs of Ford brand team.
BO Sport Track Mrk Mgr.

"Dave knew all the scenic spots off the beaten path. As an encore to our perfect first day, he drove us to Carmel Beach for the most beautiful sunset we have ever seen. When you drive the central coast with Dave Engelberg you will see one of the most beautiful places on earth through the eyes of someone who has completely fallen in love with the region. There is no better way to see Big Sur. "
