What are people saying about Santa Barbara

Trolley Ride
The trolley ride is a great activity either in the beginning or later part of your Santa Barbra adventure. If it's your first time, it's good to see the lay of the land and see all the interesting places, historical or trivial facts that would leave you delighted and would want to visit during your stay or on the next trip. Although it's my second trip to Santa Barbara, I missed out on the outskirts like East Beach and Montecito area. Trolley adventure was fun, entertaining at best. I took forever to do the review that I forgot the name of our tour guide, Charles (Chuck) is it? He said Dick was his name if we did not enjoy the tour. I recommend this for everyone, regardless if they just want to relax or sample the ocean breeze from the comfort of the trolley ride or just get entertained for an hour.

Best day!
Be prepared to make good friends! Funny how you crack open a bottle of wine and the conversation just starts to flow... even with strangers. The most relaxing afternoon my daughter and I ha e spent this vacation! Wines were wonderful! All the wineries accommodated taste preferences. So if you are not fond of reds you can get all whites!
Carrington our host/driver was amazing!

Get the ebike, it lets you really enjoy this relaxing day.
Beautifully perfect day. I love all the knowledge about the area from the olive trees to the vineyard crews. Lunch was fresh and paired perfectly with the wines we had learned about.
The olive oils were the best I've tasted. It may have been the environment. 🫒
We bike regularly. We could have done it without the ebike, but it was nice to relax and focus on the countryside.

Kayaking with Wildlife
We went on the 11 am tour, and the weather was still a little cool and overcast, which is what we prefer. If you want a lot of sun for your tour, try later in the afternoon. The tour itself was great. Ryan was our guide and he obviously has a passion, not only for water sports and kayaking, but also local history and wildlife education. We really enjoyed the whole tour!

Excellent Serious Small-Group Wine Experience
Terrific small-group tour for those who are looking for a more in-depth journey to learn more about, taste and purchase excellent wines from smaller producers who take pride in their terroir and craftmanship. Tour leader Scott was very knowledgable of the areas, the winemakers and the wineries visited and created an exceptional experience for the three couples on our tour. 100% would book again.

It’s a great way to get...
The e-bike tour is a great way to get to know the city and to learn about the areas and places where we’d like to return and spend more time. We really covered a lot of ground. Blaze was a great guide - he’s very knowledgeable about Santa Barbara and threw in lots of fun facts!

Excellent Tour with Rooted Vine!
We had such a great time on this tour! We came in knowing next to nothing about wine and very little understanding of the tasting palette. By the end of the day we had learned so much and had a ton of fun doing it!
Yune was our guide and she had a great working knowledge of the vineyards, the cultivation/growing/producing process, and she was always engaged with the group. She also did a wonderful job of helping the different couples get to know one another.
Another great thing about this tour was that there was no crazy drunken party people on it. It felt like a fun, sophisticated, learning experience that had us feeling like we had made friends, learned a ton, and did it leaving us full on wine!

Gar and Sophia were great...
Gar and Sophia were great guides who helped us with kayaking techniques and tugging our kayaks if needed. It was overcast day and we had a small group so it was a nice intimate experience. They gave us great knowledge of the harbor and wildlife. We saw seals, sea lions, and lots of birds, including a mama seal bringing up her baby seal to the shore! Fun activity if you’re feeling adventurous and want to be in the water.

Definitely a 5 star exceptionally well done tour
This tour is top notch all the way! Initially we were drawn to this tour because we were looking for a tour that was small group only, would pick us up at the hotel, and would visit lesser known wineries with premium wines. It not only met that criteria, but excelled way beyond our expectations. Scott, our tour guide, picked us in a luxurious Mercedes van. We visited three wineries, each exceptional, and met with the owners/winemakers themselves to taste their wonderful wines and learn more about their production processes . Each setting and wine maker story was unique and delightful. Thank you to Scott for being an amazing host, his attention to detail is noteworthy. Our group appreciated the cheese boards at each tasting and gourmet sandwiches for lunch. Not often do you get fabric table clothes and glass plates for a picnic lunch.

Valentine’s Day wine tour
We went on a Valentine’s Day winery tour with Johnny as our guide and it was incredible! We were in a group of 8 with people all our age and the whole day was filled with laughs and memories. We can’t say enough great things about Johnny- he was hilarious and knowledgeable and kept the vibes going all day. We will definitely be back to SB soon!

Great Experience!
We had a great experience on this tour! Daniel was an fantastic guide. He was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. By chance it was just my mom and I on our tour, which we were a bit disappointed about, but Daniel made us feel comfortable and at ease! Daniel even asked for our feedback on the way home to improve the experience for future tours. I strongly recommend taking this tour. We had a great time and would even do it again!

Fun time
This was both an educational and a food tour. Learned a lot about Santa Barbara that I did not know. Started the tour off with a fabulous wine tasting. Absolutely beautiful Bordeaux wines were tasted. The food on the tour was delicious especially the goat taco. Well, maybe the noodles were a little bland but can be easily spiced up.
Captain Kirk was a lively guide who truly enjoys what he’s doing. He loves Santa Barbara and it shows in all his stories about this the charming town.
