Trolley Tour in Santa Barbara
A very convenient way to see Santa Barbara and get much of the history and highlights. Our driver/guide was knowledgeable, friendly, great sense of humor, and fun. This was the perfect way to start our trip to beautiful Santa Barbara. We usually take a ‘Hop on, Hop off bus tour” whenever we visit a new place. This Trolley Tour was a perfect replacement for that initial overview with History and stories. I would highly recommend taking a 90 min tour with this company

Wonderful experience for a wine newbie!
I had such a fabulous time! I rarely drink (wine or otherwise) but since vineyards are such a significant part of the Santa Barbara experience, I felt it was a great way to immerse myself in the area. Our group turned out to be small (3 of us) due to cancelations so very appreciative it wasn't canceled altogether. I was solo and the other couple were friendly and wonderful (Mel and Don if you see this hope you're well!!) so it made the time very enjoyable. Our driver/ guide Yunee was awesome...she brought us to a nice variety of wineries (2 estate and 1 production if I remember the terms correctly) and it was interesting first hand the what goes into winemakers. It was also obvious the passion and love these winemakers put into creating their products. We also got to choose our lunch of sandwich and salad from a wide variety of delicious options. I learned a lot and sipped more types of wine that afternoon than in my entire life (no headache!) ...I would definitely recommend this to wine lovers and novices alike!

Overcame fear
Was here for our anniversary. My wife is not nearly as adventurous as I, but she overcame her fear and rode the zip line anyway. Geo was very entertaining and a great guide, Elijah has the same name as our deceased son and made my wife feel comfortable and safe riding the zip line. Awesome views, exhilarating ride and great people Caring for guests.
