I am a friend of Gale Wrausmann, the wonderful, talented and gracious owner of Carmel Walks. Sadly, she has passed away. She loved sharing her knowledge about Carmel, and her absence is deeply felt. Carmel Walks is not gone, but tours are suspended until further notice. More

Sadly, Gail Wrausmann who was the sole owner and guide passed away March 18, 2012. She will be missed. Her walking tour was top notch. More

We went for the week-end to Carmel. We have been there before but just to have dinner. This time I wanted to walk the city. The walking tour unfortunately was not available. So we went to the Chamber of Commerce Ofice of Turism and they provided us a map with the historical sites and the 40 alleys. It is amazing... More

This is a great 'behind the scenes' tour of Carmel, long enough to be indepth, short enough that you can go back and visit the places for a longer visit once you've finished the tour. You may even get to visit with Carmel's very own Lord Wellington! More

We loved it... More

Hear stories about the famous visitors and residents. It's a great way to start your visit to the area. More

Gail was an awesome tour guide. She was able to connect to the diverse group and was most enjoyable. Grab a coffee and meet at the Pine Hotel at 10:00. (Reservations by phone suggested). Enjoy a 2 hour tour through this inspirational town. Make note of what you will want to re-explore on your own. This is a great way... More

We did this neat walking tour on our very first trip to Carmel, and it was a perfect introduction and overview of the very quaint town. We are not typically tour people, but loved this tour and would absolutely recommend it to everyone. Gale offers many suggestions and takes questions. She seems very well connected in the town, and walks... More
