Ticket questions

Do tours include the gate fee?

Bus and private tours usually cover the $12.50 vehicle toll. E-bike tours do not pay a toll, as bicycles enter for free. If you use the audio guide, you must pay the toll yourself.

Can I do this as a day trip from San Francisco?

Yes. Several operators run 11-hour to 12-hour day trips. These typically include Monterey, Carmel, and a drive-through of Pebble Beach.

Are audio guides worth it?

An audio guide is helpful because cell service is spotty in the Del Monte Forest. You buy one app per car. The app uses GPS to trigger stories at specific stops.

On time, the driver was very professional, she handled the emergency with composure and calmness. Will Recommend.
Lynhelle_G2026-10Viator
Simply the best way to explore the famous 17 mile drive and the Monterey peninsula! The ride is safe, but exciting with e-bikes. The views are bucket list spectacular. To top it off, our guide, Suzy, was very engaged, informative, and friendly. Best bang for our buck by far in the area!
