Delicious unique food and drink offerings combined with local Monterey history. Greg was a well-educated and engaging guide. Big thumbs up!

What an excellent experience. The tour started with a light tasting at the Joseph Boston Store, including a tapenade that my wife ended up purchasing. Then a very informative and historic walk around the area. This was followed by three main and varied food stops--Indian, Greek, and a Gastropub. Delicious food and a generous amount (you won't need dinner after this tour). My favorite stop was Revival Ice Cream, not only because of the delicious Bees Knees sundae, but for their story of sustainability and community outreach. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this tour.

Overall a very good experience visiting six different tastings, including three sit-downs, while along the way to each location you learn a little about Monterey's history. The only drawback ( and now we know) is that depending on how many people sign up for your particular tour time and what their tastes are (e.g. no seafood), you may not get to try something you may have been looking forward to eat being in Monterey. However, you do go to places you might not normally try and opens you up to something different. We enjoyed our time. Thank you!
