We did this guided tour with Gael, during my son's spring break and It was the best thing out of our itinerary. Gael allowed us to experience the charm and uniqueness of Carmel in a very special way. I never knew such a small place was so big in arts, culture, charm. She would go in thru buildings and or streets and surprised us with beautiful quant spots to seat at to have coffee, read a book or simply just relax. Gael I cannot thank you enough for making this experience so unique, we are planning to go back with the rest of the family soon.

Whether you’ve been to Carmel many times, or if this is your first visit, you will find this tour to be equally informative and memorable. We were a group of local Seniors and out of town guests who all totally loved our experience. The tour is a mix of historical fact, unique tidbits of information, and personal story telling. Monica is a very well-researched, experienced and engaging guide. She adjusts her pace to the ability of the group, allowing for questions, photos, places to sit and listen and conversational ease. Her tour was a delightful way to see Carmel and reach your steps at the same time!! Book early as this tour is quite popular.

Thank you, Monica , for an enjoyable and informative tour! You rock! We loved learning the history of Carmel alongside some gossip and natural history. Your pace was perfect.

This tour was an enjoyable experience that I would recommend to anyone! Most of all, our tour guide Monica was an absolute pleasure. We called in advance and spoke with Monica regarding my elderly parents ability to keep up and she reassured us that they would be fine. We are so happy she did as they had a wonderful time and were able to take breaks as necessary. Highly recommend!

We felt we really understood the historical aspects of Carmel that are influential today in making it a beautiful place.

The tour guide, Monica, was one of the most engaging and knowledgeable guide we’ve ever had. Many of the participants are frequent visitors to Carmel and they had never seen or heard the history she shared. Very enjoyable way to spend a few hours walking through the side streets and buildings.

A fascinating informative walk around Carmel and Monica is a lovely guide - highly recommended, especially if it's a first visit to the area.

We've been going to Carmel for years but never knew the history and background on how the village came to be. Monica was so knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting with her enthusiasm, showing us the different architectural styles of the buildings and why they were built that way. Monica showed us the hidden gems and gave us recs on places to eat, too. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour.

We had wonderful walking tour and I highly recommend our outstanding tour guide Gael. It was very interesting, engaging walking tour far beyond my expectations. Gael emerged us into fascinating fairytales about Carmel history, architecture, and it’s spirit. After such tour you simply fall in love with Carmel.

Monica was very informative and clearly did her research of the area (has even written a book on Carmel-by-the-Sea). Nice historical overview of the area and walkthrough the business district of Carmel.
