Overview

On this fascinating two-hour walk in the footsteps of John Steinbeck, you'll see a whole new side to the historic Cannery Row in beautiful Monterey, California. Discover the real-life people that inspired Steinbeck to create his vivid characters, and visit various locations he used as backdrops for his stories.

While walking, your tour guide Lynn Momboisse will fill your ears with fun facts. Learn the fascinating events that caused Cannery Row to go from a quaint fishing village to a booming commercial sardine industry, then into economic collapse, only to be reborn as the popular tourism destination that it is today.
