Why take this tour?

Explore the Historic Hill District of Carmel-by-the-Sea and enjoy a self-paced, self-guided audio tour of Carmel’s famous Comstock Fairy Tale cottages. This walking tour will lead you past eleven of the more famous fairy tale style homes in Carmel. You will learn about the history behind these homes, the architectural style and the builder, Hugh Comstock.

This walking tour, which offers numerous photo opportunities, is less than one mile and will take under one hour to walk.

The tour begins and ends at the Carmel Plaza on Ocean Avenue and Junipero Street, where you will find the Carmel Visitor’s Center, an ATM, a public restroom, numerous unique shopping options, restaurants, as well as three wine tasting rooms.

So start the tour, put your phone in your pocket, and let us direct you on this adventure of the Fairy Tale Homes of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

The tour plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smart phone’s GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app works offline.

Please note: Gretel is currently undergoing renovation, so unfortunately for the time being, the view of both Hansel and Gretel is blocked by fencing.
