Carmel Mission

(Pass by)

The Mission is a National Historic landmark and it’s where Carmel began. Father Serra was the head of the California Mission. He built the mission in 1771 and is buried there too.

Carmel Beach Boardwalk

(Pass by)

This stands out as one of the best shorelines you'll ever get to see. You can bring your dog, it's gigantic, and it's really clean. The colors are amazing from the white sands to the shifting blue shades of the ocean.

The House of Hansel & Gretel

These two houses are named Hansel and Gretal and were built by Hugh Comstock. He set the tone of this fairy land town and it all started with the houses he built here.

I guess Carmel is just too hard to keep the audio tour on track. We kept getting lost, not knowing where to turn, and got off the course. We ended up only hearing about half. We have used Audio Tours in our car in other areas, which worked great. It may be the closeness of each road in Carmel.

We brought our viator printout to the person letting cats into 17 mile drive in Carmel by the sea. They told us it was a bus tour and we had to go to the bus tour place to ride with them. This was not true because we bought a self guided tour and we were supposed to use them app we downloaded to hear our tour. So they had us turn around and exit. So we never used the tickets we bought and didn't get to go on the 17 mile drive.

I've been to Carmel many times and even I learned so much. It was easy to use and the quality was excellent. It was like having my own private local tour guide without the hassle of a schedule or the high cost.

It was a beautiful experience from start to finish. The views were amazing, but the information that you gain during this tour is TOP OF THE LINE! I would definitely recommend to others!

Please out in bold red letters when one is considering this tour "YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD A VOICEAPP AND THE TOUR THIS IS BEST TO DO BEFORE YOU GO TO CARMEL" I wasted money on two tours because of this. I tried downloading the app there and it took forever. Then it would not download the tour. We drove 2 hours from Cambria spend a day in Carmel. Thankfully the 17 Mile drive saved our day. Actually would like a refund, but it's so inexpensive I figured it would be too much work for the money.

The tour was really interesting, we really enjoyed it. Definitely saw things we would not have on our own. We had some connectivity problems at first and then a voice kept coming on saying we were going the wrong way (which we weren’t) but after we turned it off, it was great!
