Itinerary

  • Monterey

    Meet your guide in front of the Old Fisherman's Wharf and embark upon your epicurean exploration of Monterey.  Step back in time at our first stop as small bites are enjoyed in a historic setting.  Venture to Alvarado Street and the hidden gems of downtown Monterey's back streets where locals dine.  Enjoy dishes from traditional Indian or Greek cuisine to local cider and pasta in a gastropub to deep dish pizza.  Next, visit an artisan ice cream shop, sample handcrafted ice cream while visiting the kitchen.  Continue past many historic buildings in Monterey including a couple of California's firsts while hearing stories about Monterey past and present.  Finally, sip local wine and savor delicious local cheese.  Bid your guide and group farewell, but feel free to remain at the last stop after the tour concludes.

We had an amazing time. We have been to Monterey probably over 100 times and learned so much about the history. Valerie was our guide and we loved her. She was very knowledgeable and can tell she loved the area as well.

Loved it!!

Sonya, our guide was great! Very knowledgable about Monterey history and we toured areas of the town we'd never been to before. We had a nice variety of great food and beverages. Met some nice people on the tour too.

Highly Recommend!

Sonja was wonderful. She was personable, interesting, and had a nice sense of humor. She was knowledgeable about the area and had fun facts about Monterey history. The food was super delicious. Every stop was notably interesting. The grounds behind the avocado toast bakery were like a secret garden. Highly recommend!
