I thought there were to many people (17) on the tour way to many for what was covered. We felt rushed at most of the places. Veronica did a good job explaining the interesting facts about Carmel but at times spoke quickly and it was hard to keep up. The Tapas restaurant was lame, potatoes with spicy sauce, Tapas are small plates, totally missed the point I would never go there to patronize. The food the other places was good, my favorite was the Cauliflower dish at the brewery. Final thought for the price limit the number of people to 10 at most.

We have visited the Monterey/Carmel area several times and never realized there was a food tour in Carmel By The Sea! Don’t miss this fantastic tour. We learned about the history and hidden gems here. The 6 stops ( yes 6) were at some amazing restaurants and a few libations too! You will not want to make dinner plans because you will be pleasantly full after the 3 hour tour! The walking was very easy and paced well, definitely wear walking shoes as the Carmel walkways are a bit bumpy. Veronica was our tour guide for the day. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly! We look forward to enjoying this tour again next time we are in the area!,

We met up with Bonnie as planned and walked to several places that we can revisit later. Great information, great history lessons on Carmel by the Sea. Food was great and each stop had a great story behind it. Bonnie was the Carmel OG! Will recommend this experience to anyone Dan and Becky

I have been fortunate to participate in two of CFT's offerings; the Carmel Food and Wine Tour in 2017 and the San Miguel de Allende Mexico Tour in December 2022. Both experiences were delivered way beyond my expectations. The Carmel tour provided a wonderful exposure to this charming town's hospitality offerings. The San Miguel de Allende tour was a carefully curated, intimate, concierge travel experience that sets a high bar for our future travel planning. Our new friends Staci and Migdalia were gracious hosts who made certain all guests needs and interests were addressed. The itinerary, accommodations and daily scheduled offerings were exceptional. This was the perfect first trip to Mexico beyond-the-beaches for us and a multi-sensory dive into the food, crafts, shopping, music, history, and culture of this fascinating country. Put this tour on your bucket list.

A great experience for couples, individuals, friend groups, or the whole family. They took us to several local establishments, all of which had great food and drink. We walked throughout downtown Carmel, which was absolutely beautiful. We learned a lot of the history of the area which was really interesting. Our tour guide Bryan was fabulous--smart, funny, knowledgable. He made the day really rewarding.

Professional, courteous, knowledgeable! It was our first time to Carmel and the tournwas much more than we imagined! The food, shops, drinks and history of this area make it a hidden gem! Finally, our guide Amber was AMAZING!

We, as two couples, have been on numerous food tours in various cities in the US and abroad. The Carmel Food Tour was by far the best we have encountered. Our guide, Amber, was charming and knowledgeable sprinkling historic and current tidbits of information about Carmel throughout the tour. However, the best part was, of course, the food and drink. There were 7 locations we visited with first class food, wine, desert and chocolate and generous servings throughout. We were more that filled at the end. Highly recommended, with a fair price for what we received.

Our tour guide, Bonnie, was amazing. We had seven stops, all were very good. The walking is easy. Very informative tour, unique stops, and top quality food/drink tastings. Would highly recommend this tour .... my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!

My husband and I had a great time doing this food tour with Amber! She was knowledgeable and very nice! We had some good bites, good sweets/desserts, one wine tasting, and a whole glass of margarita which we enjoyed. We are happy with the great customer service and that they allowed me to buy 2 tickets when only one was available when I inquired about it. They also were nice enough to give us some recs of places to try while out in Carmel-by-the-sea for our 10 year anniversary. Highly appreciated the kindness. I would do it again. Gess B.

Great tour! The pace was perfect, with plenty of time at each stop, and time in between to see and learn about Carmel. Mig was the perfect guide — charming, knowledgeable, and with a gift for making everyone feel comfortable. Highly recommended!

We had a great tour with Amber and Brian. On our walk we tasted gourmet meatloaf sandwiches, tacos with a mexcalita, hot dogs, pastries and chocolate. It was a great way to learn about Carmel. Wear comfy shoes for walking and come hungry!

We booked the Carmel Bikes, Bites, and Bevs tour and loved it! We met at Mad Dogs and Englishmen to pick up our e-bikes and headed to Point Lobos. Staci led us past cottages and historical sites occasionally stopping to describe the landmarks. After a couple beautiful hikes at Point Lobos we headed back to Carmel by the Sea to begin the bites and bevs portion of the tour. Amber escorted us to four tasting locations where we were served a generous taste and a beverage. My favorite was the crispy cauliflower and elderflower gin and tonic at Alvarado Street Brewery. Amber was knowledgeable about the locations we visited and recounted tidbits of Carmel history as we walked to the different establishments. Thank you for a fabulous day of exploring, exercising and eating!

I can not say enough about our experience with Carmel Food Tours. We booked it along with a bike tour of Point Lobos in Carmel through Mad Dogs and Englishmen Bike Rentals. After our bike ride our tour guide Amber was waiting to take on another adventure in Carmel. The 4 restaurants were fabulous and the menus along with the cocktails were delicious. I have to say that I was absolutely surprised at the portions that we received from each of the purveyors. Completely unexpected. I thought we might get a little appetizer to share. No way! We each got our own dish, and not just a taste of a beverage but a full cocktail, wine or beer. Even if you don't do the bike tour I'm sure their regular food walking tour if fantastic. I also love the little bites (no pun intended ) of history that Amber gave us were fantastic. Thank you Carmel Food Tours. We will be back!!! M & P

Great activity for history, drinks, and food. We did the bike tour first. Stacy the owner came on our bike tour and she was Awesome! Funny, personable gal that kept the tour on pace. She passed us off to Amber, great gal that really knows her history and cuisine in the Carmel by the Sea area. She took us on a walking food, drink, and history lesson in the town. 4 stops sampling different drinks and food from Carmel’s best. From signature cocktails to Carmel’s best wine, this trip definitely covered it. It was a lot of food and a lot of booze! We had a great couple along on the tour. It gave us the chance to chat and have fun as well. Definitely put it on your things to do list!

I would highly recommend this tour. Not only do you enjoy delicious food but you also get valuable insight into the history of this charming village by the sea. The tour would make a great gift for a special occasion or just friends and family visiting from out of town.
