Fresh New Old Monterey

Our Old Monterey Food Tour takes you through some of the most delicious and historically significant stops in Monterey. But aside from these can’t-miss restaurants, breweries, and ice cream parlors, Old Monterey has so much more to offer.

After your tour, enjoy downtown Monterey and Alvarado Street. Over the past few years, several new and thriving businesses now occupy the historic storefronts.

Families can’t miss High Scores, the new arcade located right next door to the sweet final stop on our tour, Revival Ice Cream. If you left the kids at home, savor a cocktail at The Whisky Club or Alejandro’s.

New Exhibit at Monterey Bay Aquarium

Visiting the otters and watching the activity in the kelp forest never gets old, but a new exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium is even more reason to make a reservation for your next visit.

Discover never-before-seen creatures when you go Into the Deep, the new exhibit at the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. Visitors get a chance to view spooky spider crabs and dazzling bioluminescent creatures, all which live in the ocean’s deepest areas.
