Overview

You will ride from our bike shop in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and explore cottages throughout Carmel. Passing several local historic sites, you will ride down the Carmel coastline along Scenic Drive; a one-way, 15-mile per hour road. You’ll pass landmarks such as the Tor House, Butterfly House, Carmel River State Beach, Clint Eastwood’s Mission Ranch, and the Carmel Mission, one of the most authentically restored Catholic mission churches in California.

The minimum for a non-private tour to operate is 4 people. If you reserve a tour date and we have less than 4 people sign up for the tour then we reserve the right to cancel the tour with a full refund, or convert the tour to a private guided tour (additional rates apply), or combine the tour with another tour at a different time that day, or convert the tour to a standard rental reservation (no tour guide). These options will be reviewed with the customer for their approval 24 hours before the reservation.

What To Expect

Carmel

Explore many different architectural styles while riding throughout the town of Carmel-By-The-Sea.

PacRep at the Forest Theater, Carmel

See the oldest amphitheater west of the Rockies, be inspired to catch a show, and hear the origin story of Carmel as we know it today, founded by artists of all types, built on community by two men named Frank.

The House of Hansel & Gretel

The Hansel and Gretel houses in Carmel are the original life-size doll houses built simply because a man loved a doll-maker. The dozen on this block are private residences, but there's many others in town that are now shops and restaurants that your guide can point out.

Fairy Tale Cottages of Hugh Comstock

Passing by the historic cottages in Carmel, in one block we see 6 of these cute fairy tale cottages built by local architect Hugh Comstock. For true lovers of this style, we can climb another steep hill to see 5 more.

Devendorf Park

The park is Carmel's central gathering place for outdoor events. A great place to have a little picnic or get away from downtown and enjoy the quaint koi pond nestled in the corner of the park. And no dogs allowed!

The Valentine

This bronze sculpture figure by George Wayne Lundeen is called The Valentine. It was installed in the First Murphy Park in 1994. This is a great place to stop for a picture while some in the group use the restroom before we head along the beachfront.

First Murphy House

The first Murphy House in Carmel, California is a historic Craftsman style home built in 1902. It features a low-pitched gable roof, wide eaves, and exposed rafters, as well as a cozy, comfortable interior with hardwood floors, fireplace mantels, and built-in cabinets. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood a short walk from downtown Carmel and is a beloved landmark in the community. The house is currently being used as the location for the Carmel Heritage Society.

Golden Bough Playhouse

The Golden Bough Playhouse is a historic two-story theatre which includes a conventional 300-seat theater in the front and a more intimate, 150-seat circle theater in the back.

Carmel Beach

At the base of Ocean Avenue, Carmel Beach is a beautiful white, sandy beach backed by Gowen Cypress trees and is known for surfing, dog-walking & sunsets. It's one of the most iconic spots on California's Central Coast and is rated one of America's top beach towns.

Scenic Road Walkway

The most beautiful and iconic one way road in Carmel with jaw-dropping ocean views.

Carmel Beach Boardwalk

Passing by the beautiful Carmel beach, be sure to take lots of photos!

Carmel River State Beach

An enclave for wildlife right where the mouth of our Carmel River meets the sea.

Carmel Mission Basilica

The crown jewel of the California Missions. We stop at the gate to the courtyard where you can get a great picture of this historic landmark....one of California's oldest existing structures. Your guide will share some informational stories from its early history while you take in the beautiful building and grounds.

We had an amazing time. There was a slight hiccup in plans when we showed up for our tour and hadn't been told it had been cancelled due to it just being the two of us on the tour. The staff was apologetic and offered to have on the same tour the next day. We adjusted our plans and made it work and had an excellent time.

Great way to see 17 mile drive. Not sure how but there was a mixup with our Viator booking and it said we were on the Carmel tour. Leslie, our tour guide communicated effectively and got our tour changed. The bikes were great and we got toser lots of nature on our trip, sea otters, seals etc. I would highly recommend this tour.
