Overview

You will ride from our bike shop in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and explore cottages throughout Carmel. Passing several local historic sites, you will ride down the Carmel coastline along Scenic Drive; a one-way, 15-mile per hour road. You’ll pass landmarks such as the Tor House, Butterfly House, Carmel River State Beach, Clint Eastwood’s Mission Ranch, and the Carmel Mission, one of the most authentically restored Catholic mission churches in California.

The minimum for a non-private tour to operate is 4 people. If you reserve a tour date and we have less than 4 people sign up for the tour then we reserve the right to cancel the tour with a full refund, or convert the tour to a private guided tour (additional rates apply), or combine the tour with another tour at a different time that day, or convert the tour to a standard rental reservation (no tour guide). These options will be reviewed with the customer for their approval 24 hours before the reservation.

Carmel's first ever hotel, blending historic splendor and modern comfort. The hotel was built in 1889 as Hotel Carmelo in the location of Devendorf Park in the style of an elegant country inn, with wood from the old Tivoli Opera House in San Francisco.Sixteen years later, as the town developed and grew, it was time for a big move.The Hotel Carmelo was on its way to a new home, four blocks down Ocean towards the beach. The North wing was dismantled, and the main building was rolled along pine logs down the rugged, dirt road.Within a year, the hotel was refitted and enlarged with a stable and a sun room looking out to the sea. With the help of M.J. Murphy, a local contractor, the hotel was reborn as the Pine Inn.
