We had a great tour guide. He was very passionate about Jeffers and his poetry. He recited different poems to us as they pertained to different areas of Jeffers life, home, or relationship with the environment. We didn't really know anything about Jeffers going into the tour, we just thought that the house, tower, and grounds looked really neat. But our guide helped us understand the importance of Jeffers work and that made the grounds themselves even more fascinating. We did have two English teachers and a librarian in our group so we were predisposed to enjoy learning about a poet, but still I would say that anyone who enjoys Monterey and learning about its history would like this tour experience.
