It was a nice day and beautiful drive, but this should not be called a tour. The driver was very nice, but didn't seem to be interested in conversation, questions about the area, etc... He simply wanted to drive us there and back. Sure he would point out things here and there, but I've had many other tour guides that were far more engaging. He also got lost a time or two and at one point I even had to download an app to feel confident we were in the right place and on the right track. My recommendation would be to rent your own car and take this drive yourself. Download the Pebble Beach app, which guides you through all the points of interest and you can take your time to see what you want to see as opposed to being on someone else's timeframe.
