It was a 10! Shirley was so knowledgable and enthusiastic. Promptly met us, and even went overtime to show us some extra things since it was just us two. Really happy.

The history of the constitution of CA, looking at the writings of each person in the same building the convention was held. Looking at the different professions and length of time the person was in CA. Fascinating that a person living in CA 3 months would be included in the creation. Import taxation was at the Bay of Monterey. Ships coming in to San Diego did not have customs/taxation origionally.

Thom’s enthusiasm for Monterey (and California) history and architecture comes through clearly in his walking tour. Most of the tour is easy going, there’s only one serious staircase at Colton Hall. Happy to recommend.

Two locals and two visitors walked the streets of Cannery Row with Thom as our guide. The gray day with on and off sprinkles was filled with the Cannery Row of Steinbeck as well as the eclectic mix of homes and businesses that dot the area today. Thom is so very knowledgeable but yet his delivery is as if he is showing friends around town. Book with Thom. You will not be disappointed.

Monterey is such a quaint town, and Tom’s historical guidance through the town brought it to life. Learned a lot and enjoyed Tom’s humor. Leaving with a new sense of appreciation for Monterey! Would definitely recommend this tour when in town. You’ll learning about the area and overall history of California.Thanks, Tom Diggins!

My wife and I really enjoyed the walking tour! We did the afternoon tour of Monterey. Thom was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We had fun and learned a lot!

Nice Lady Shirley. However tour has gone down hill since years earlier. Buildings closed and looks like the city of Monterey is more interested in tourism and not founding fathers history sites. Extremely disappointed from taking on my own years ago. Started 15 minutes late waiting for no shows.

My family did a tour with Tom for my father's 80th birthday and the tour was a great hit with everyone. Even as frequent visitors to the area, little did we know the important role Monterey played in both California's and the US's formation- all of our minds were blown. The tour was a very pleasant walk around key points in downtown Monterey, it was well planned and delivered. Tom was a great guide, lots of fun and enthusiastic about his expertise, and the value was unbeatable. Highly recommend.

We have a vacation home in Monterey.. so we claim to know the area.. we learned a lot from Tom! He reminded me of my Dad.. who is a resident expert historian of many areas.. and he told the story of Monterey as we walked around. I loved knowing how special Monterey is to California's story and how it came to be.. why not Monterey as the capitol? My teenage kids enjoyed it too - it was a great family affair. We love tours.. it's hard to do it yourself.. why not let an expert show you around? It was long overdue for us! Sometimes it was hard to hear with the traffic, but that's part of the city!!! We like it.. we debriefed over our dinner and we all agreed it was a nice 2 hour afternoon - and we are much better educated - and think Monterey is super special!
