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.

My husband and I had so much fun on a Monday (a little less $) tour of Carmel. The stops were well thought out, and varied. We ran the gamut from: olive oil, honey, chocolate, to fish & chips, sliders, or a delicate soup. Our guide grew up in Carmel, and we loved hearing stories from: architecture to fabulous passages/via's that envelope private places to grab a coffee, and celebrate the charm that is Carmel. My tour was filled with locals, and we loved hearing their thoughts, and input. All in all, a terrific way to spend a couple hours.

My friend and I totally loved our Carmel Food Tour with Kimberly! She is an expert on the unique area and has a delightful personality. Very hospitable and accommodating. We enjoyed the food and tastings at every single place. And I felt like we learned all these secrets and tricks around the town as we walked and learned and saw tucked away passages and historical sites... definitely a worthwhile experience whether you're visiting the area or a native. We were amazed and had so much fun!
