Our Standing Room Only Tour is a two-hour tour with COVID in mind: Limited group size, only two hours together, masks required unless actively tasting, and food that’s easy to handle if seating is not available (or if you’d like more distance). If no one else is booked on your desired date, you have the option to make the tour private. While there is an upcharge for a private tour, you get the peace of mind that comes with exclusivity; it’s your group, and only your group on the tour. And don’t worry, there’s still plenty of food, along with one or two adult beverages.
Our Classic Food Tour is a three-hour, guided walking tour of Carmel’s most interesting attractions. Our tours offer food tastings from six to seven unique eateries and specialty shops coupled with insightful presentations of Carmel’s cultural, historical, and architectural highlights provided by knowledgeable and entertaining local guides. Our 1.5-mile tour is suitable for all fitness levels, open to everyone, but is most appropriate for adults. See FAQ for additional comments about children.
We offer turnkey team development events that range from simple playdate over food to a day- or overnight-retreat package with a Certified Coach.

We throughly enjoyed this experience, while we were visiting Carmel. Tracy was a wonderful tour guide. She was both educational and very entertaining. She kept the tour on track, while not making you feel rushed, and guided us through may hidden courtyards of downtown that we had not seen before. I would hightly recommend this tour for any group that enjoys food, wine, and adventure.
– Pam H | TripAdvisorOur guide for the food and wine tasting tour was Amber. She was very personable and smart. She connected the history of Carmel throughout the tour, as she led the group into the each stop that emphasized delectable samples of food, wine, olive oils, honeys, tiramisu, and/or chocolates. The size of the group was just right, and my wife and I took the opportunity to meet a variety of people from Canada, Florida, and California locations.
– Mel D | TripAdvisorKimberly was a wonderful tour guide! We covered 7 restaurants and shops during our 3 hour exploration of Carmel, where we were treated to a varied menu, which included a delicious onion tart, calamari, Tuscan style pasta, tacos, honey and olive oil tasting, chocolate cheesecake, sea salt caramels, and chocolate truffles. We even got to take a peek into Cafe Carmel's kitchen and learn about the owner's story and the cafe's history.
– Jun | TripAdvisorWe had Mig as our guide. An upbeat, kindred spirit who made our experience fun and special. This is a must do on your itinerary especially if it's your first visit. We met the owners and chefs and were treated like royalty
– Bev P | TripAdvisorA fabulous day in Carmel walking around visiting the local food establishments. All of the food was amazing and I cannot choose a favorite!
