Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Old Monterey Walking Food Tour?

A: There aren't any strict age restrictions for this tour! It’s family-friendly, but keep in mind that if kids are joining, they won't be able to partake in the alcohol tastings. I'd recommend bringing along some snacks or a light meal for them just to keep everyone happy throughout the tour.

Q: How does the parking situation look around Monterey for the food tour?

A: Parking can be tricky, especially on weekends! There are a few public lots around downtown, but I’d suggest arriving early to snag a spot. Alternatively, there are some street parking spots if you're lucky. Just be sure to check the time limits so you don’t end up with a ticket!

Q: What kind of weather should I expect on this tour? Do they cancel for rain?

A: The tour goes on rain or shine! If it's rainy, I recommend bringing a light jacket and maybe an umbrella, just in case. They still have a great time even in drizzly weather, but if conditions get dangerous, they’ll reach out to reschedule. Otherwise, a little rain can be a fun adventure!

Just did the Old Monterey Walking Food Tour—so good!

I just got back from the Old Monterey Walking Food Tour, and wow, what a tasty experience! We hit five spots, and each one was so unique. The crepes at the first stop were unreal, and I can't stop thinking about that small-batch ice cream! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the history really engaging. Highly recommend it if you're visiting or even if you're a local!
