Beyond the gift shops and the modern facade of Cannery Row lies a world immortalized by John Steinbeck. You are invited to see Cannery Row through his eyes.
The Steinbeck Experience is proud to host the Summer Season of our daily flagship walking tours. This isn’t a traditional tourist excursion; it is a deep dive into the life, literature, and lasting lessons of Monterey’s most iconic voice.
