Great Cannery Row tour! - The Cannery Row walking tour by the Original Monterey Walking Tours was great! Guide Shirley was full of amazing facts and information about the Cannery history, John Steinbeck, and the culture of area during the cannery heyday. I teamed this tour with the Discover the Real Monterey history walking tour. Both were wonderful and I would do them both again.

Cannery Row - History & Stories - Shirley led a fun and informative tour of Cannery Row—many sites we would not have seen on our own or history/facts/stories we would not have known…quite enjoyable!

Great teacher - Tom was a great tour guide! I was able to ask questions, he had all the answers. I was his only customer and he still kept the tour experience interesting.

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.
