The Crew, Jake, Wes and Sarah were amazing and very knowledgeable and cheerful individuals. They really added to the experience! The views of the landscapes were very scenic and when you get to the top of the loop, you see a beautiful view of the coast! This adventure is about an hour long and definitely worth it! You get to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and get in some not too strenuous exercise too. Sadly, this business will be closed permanently at the end of August 2025. This is a must before then and you'll definitely enjoy every minute!

We spent the day and evening in Monterey and met Gary at a brewery. 4 stops- Bernardus winery Corral winery and last was the Barrel room for tasting with Plaza Linda for Mexican food for lunch.

I scheduled me and my wife on the Carmel Valley Wine Trolley for my wife birthday. When I called to…read moreschedule the wine tour I spoke to Gary. Gary was the owner and the tour guide. Gary was very helpful and nice to schedule our wine tour. We drove up to Monterey and met Gary at Dust Bowl Brewery in Monterey. Gary is a vibrant tour guide. The drive up to Carmel Valley is breathtaking. Our first stop on the wine tour was bernardus winery. The second stop was corral winery and last was the barrel room. All three wineries were spectacular, great tasting wines and spectacular service. In between winery 2 and 3 we had lunch at plaza Linda Mexican restaurant. The wine tour was 5 hours of great wine, conversation and the atmosphere/vibe were great. Carmel valley is a place I will go back to try some more wineries. The tour is wonderful. If you have a chance to visit Monterey please put this on your list of places to visit.

This was so much fun! Alex checked us in and was super nice and helpful. We did the 2 hr and I felt…read morelike it was perfect we were able to explore all of Monterey and even had enough time to stop to get off and take pics. We took our 12yr old and 16yr old and they both loved it too. It was the perfect way to explore Monterey, especially since this was our first time visiting. The weather was perfect and Monterey is so beautiful. I felt safe and the car was really easy to drive. I also loved the audio guide, it made the experience even better. If you're visiting Monterey, this is definitely a must do. Highly recommend!

We did the hour tour but could have easily done a 2 hour one, time went by so quickly on that thing. Plus they're really easy to operate, my 78 year old mom did it with one of my kids and they managed to have fun and be safe. It's enjoyable and would recommend as a nice way to see town, and can easily spend 2 hours or more on this, very fun!

The natural landscape is just phenomenal. God's fingerprints all over this place. Pros: - not a bad drive down here from the touristy parts of Monterey and Seaside where we usually reside for the weekend - a bit windy, but a truly lovely and incredibly scenic twisty, turn-y road that keeps me on my toes - once you're here it's just breathtaking. - trail walk/stroll is pretty easy, nothing real rigorous as long as you're still in decent health. - more challenging "hikes" available for those who are looking for more, I've not stepped up to that (huffing and puffing doesn't sound fun), so I'm not sure where those trails are, but easy to find online. - so much fauna and flora to look at. - the coast here is just so rugged and ridiculously jawpdropping. - kids love this place too. There's a ranger station/little nature stop/house of sorts, not quite a "museum", but it's got the history, the nature, the strange facts you'd not otherwise know about unless you stopped by. - very kind and dedicated volunteers that will tell you all you want to know about Point Lobos - the nature, the creatures of sky, sea, and land, the past, present and future, whatever you want. - Plus they often have binoculars they will let you use to look out at the coast for seals and sealions and otters and more galore, oh my! Cons: - parking is the suck here. It's not too expensive to get in, but most people seem to park along the main road/highway that leads to Point Lobos which is kind of dangerous and a good trek to get to the State Reserve, so you've got your exercise before you even start exploring. That could be a plus? All in all, a magnificent and marvelous natural state reserve, well preserved, more than maintained, must see to appreciate.

Views, trails, tide pools, ocean waves, shells, and lots of poison oak!…read more Parking is limited and we arrived later than we wanted. We were able to park on the side of the road like a lot of others, but other than that it's a worthwhile stop. Gorgeous state park, easy walking trails, there was even a park volunteer at the trailhead with maps answering questions and giving good advice (both when we got there and a different volunteer posted there when we left!)

Our friends bought us a private tour - Enjoy Carmel by Carmel Food Tours. We would highly recommend…read moreCarmel Food Tours - we thought they did a great job. They were super responsive when we wanted to book our tour with just a few days notice - so mad props for their fast, friendly service in getting us booked so quickly!! Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about Carmel, and provided an overview about the area and was very willing to answer any questions we had. We enjoyed chatting with her throughout the 4 hour experience. We enjoyed tastes from 5-6 different locations throughout the downtown Carmel area. We were definitely provided a lot of variety and everything was delicious - from doughnuts and coffee and nuts to French onion soup and sushi. We had the opportunity at one of the locations (Toro) to have an interactive experience, spending time speaking with the general manager learning the background about the restaurant. We also had a special sake tasting featuring three different sakes. It was a very unique experience and the sushi was also extremely fresh and delicious. Overall, it was a good experience and we were able to enjoy a nice variety of food that local restaurants provide. Important tips for future tour goers: 1. Don't eat before going on a food tour. We thankfully didn't eat -otherwise, we would not have been able to enjoy the food tour to its fullest. 2. Don't book any reservations to restaurants that same day. We were still stuffed by the time it was time to go to dinner - and that was more than 5 hours later!

We loved everything about this tour…read more Our guide, Sammy, was funny, personable, charming, and well connected with the Carmel food and wine scene. He arrived a little early to our hotel, always a good sign. As we headed to Carmel, Sammy gave us a quick history of Monterey and Carmel that was filled with little tidbits that we didn't know despite coming to the area for decades. Our tour consisted of three restaurants for small plates paired with wine and three tasting rooms for short flights. Everything was amazing. The tour never felt rushed, even though I was trying before the tour to figure out how Sammy was going to fit everything in. This was the first time we'd done a tour like this and it definitely won't be the last. We look forward to touring with Sammy again.
