I am Casey Aguilar, the owner of Monterey Bay Food Tours, the first and only walking food tour in Monterey.
If you are not familiar with a walking food tour, it is a great way to visit multiple unique local eateries and restaurants sampling their specialties at a leisurely pace, with the convenience of pre-planning and coordination by a local tour guide. My customers will have a unique experience that they would not have if they were to visit these restaurants on their own. This could be anything from sitting somewhere special, taking a kitchen tour, talking with the owner or chef, a visit from a wine maker, to eating something that is not on the menu. Monterey Bay Food Tours is committed to sharing a passion for food in a fun and creative environment and strive to provide exceptional customer service and an unforgettable experience. Our tours are great for locals and tourist alike. Every time I do a tour with locals, they always discover something new!
The Old Monterey tours are open to the public through on-line booking and will accommodate up to 12 people. The Old Monterey Tour is approximately three hours and will take you to 5-6 different restaurants and eateries on the side streets of Downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf, spending about 25 minutes at each stop. You will taste the different cultural influences that have made Monterey what it is today. Your tour guide will also tell you some fun facts about the Monterey Bay area.
I am currently working with restaurants and eateries in New Monterey to offer a one of a kind tour with some of Monterey's finest.
We also offer custom and private tours. We can customize tours to meet your needs. Working with a specific budget? Want an all seafood tour? Want a stop at a local cigar shop to browse cigars, local wines, scotch, and beers? Want an all vegetarian tour? Want 3, 5, or 7 restaurants and all beer, wine, cocktails, or nonalcoholic beverages at each stop? Contact us so we can put together your unique experience.

Musicians, check this out! The Monterey Music Store now has in stock a 5-string Wing Bass. Come and visit us at 425 Alvarado Street in Old Monterey.
The 5-string Wing Bass is extremely light and portable. The instrument was born from the idea that you don’t really need the first 11 frets of a bass in order to practice or play when you travel. The only differences between this instrument and a full sized bass are portability and tuning (the Wing is tuned one octave higher – the equivalent of playing the twelfth fret and above). The Wing Bass uses standard strings and gauges as well as standard string spacing so your technique-building exercises can be retained when you return to your main bass.
