What To Expect

Sunset Cultural Center
This is the meeting place for Carmel Food Tours. Look for the tall, Gothic-style arch and huge windows. It looks a little like a church, but it's not. When you descend into the courtyard, which is located EXACTLY at the intersection of 9th & San Carlos, you'll be greeted by your tour guide.

Very nice tour of the town with 4 food stops. The guide was fun and knowledgeable and we didn’t feel rushed. The owner accommodated us being slightly late after a long drive across the state. Only constructive feedback is I would have expected more ‘California’ on the menu. The first stop was a sausage in a bun and the second stop was a burger and fries.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Bonnie was a great guide and we got to experience Carmel and eat at some great restaurants.

Fantastic tour! We live less than an hour from Carmel, so we go there several times each year (whenever we need a relaxing, fabulous 1-day get-away). Of course, we've tried many restaurants, but we had never been to any of these.....without exception, they were absolutely wonderful. We will definitely return to all! Our tour guide, Brian, was great fun and very knowledgeable - he kept the group moving and found time at each stop to give a lot of background information about the restaurant or business - very helpful! We have already recommended this tour to several friends and will continue to do so - it is a fantastic, delicious introduction to the unique world of Carmel!!
