What To Expect
Sunset Cultural Center
This is the meeting place for Carmel Food Tours. Look for the tall, Gothic-style arch and huge windows. It looks a little like a church, but it’s not. When you descend into the courtyard, which is located EXACTLY at the intersection of 9th & San Carlos, you’ll be greeted by your tour guide.
