While visiting Carmel,
one should absolutely explore and attempt to visit all of the hidden pathways
and charming courtyards. Of course it is endless fun to wander through town and
find great shops on your own; however, taking a tour will ensure that you
encounter many of Carmel's hidden gems that one might have missed. Whether the
tour is self-guided or in a group, you will be sure to find all of the must see
spots of Carmel By The Sea.
There are tours offered
for the food and wine connoisseur as well as tours for visitors who enjoy
learning about the history and culture of a town. Carmel is celebrating its
centennial this year and the celebration makes learning about the rich history
of the village even more interesting.
Brief
descriptions of some great self guided tours follow:
