Q&A

Q: Can we bring our dog on the Carmel Walk guided tour?

A: Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome on the tour! It’s a great way to explore Carmel-by-the-Sea with your furry friend. Just make sure your pup is comfortable walking for about 2 hours, and keep them leashed. It's a lovely experience for both you and your dog!

Q: What should we wear for the Carmel Walk tour in early May?

A: I’d recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes since there’s a fair bit of strolling involved. Dress in layers because mornings can be chilly while afternoons warm up. A light jacket is a good idea too, just in case the coastal breeze kicks in!

Q: Is it easy to find parking near the starting point of the tour?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky in Carmel, especially on weekends. There's some street parking available, but it fills up fast. There are also a few paid parking lots nearby. I’d suggest arriving a bit early to secure a spot and enjoy a coffee before the tour!

Just booked the Carmel Walk tour for my parents' anniversary!

So excited! I got them tickets for the Carmel Walk guided tour. I’ve heard such great things about it, especially the local guide who shares fun stories about the town. It’s a 2-hour tour, and they can also bring their dog. They love walking and exploring new places, plus they’re big fans of art. Hoping they'll have a blast!

Thinking about the Carmel Walk tour—any thoughts?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting the Carmel Walk guided tour for my sister's birthday. She loves walking tours and I think she’d enjoy learning about the town’s history and art stuff. Just wondering if it’s good for someone who isn’t super fit? Are there any steep hills?
