A magical way to spend the day!
We had such an amazing day with William! All of our equipment was top notch and the bike ride, lunch under the oak trees, and wine tasting were absolutely lovely. William was a wonderful guide and taught us so much about the local vinyards, wines, and wineries. It was a perfect day and we would love to do it again sometime.

Great Wine Tour with lunch
This tour offers a unique experience into three different, smaller wineries. Tom, our guide, was informative, kind, and helpful. The lunch he provided for us was incredibly delicious - full for fresh, organic, local veggies. We had appointments at each winery but never felt rushed.
The winemaker at Tomi was especially great! He gave us so much information about the grapes, wines, and even took us back to see the fermenting grapes.
Great experience!

Scott did such an amazing...
Scott did such an amazing job planning the pace of the day with lunch and snacks throughout the day. Perfect selection of small production, personal wineries catered to our groups’ wine knowledge. Excellent Santa Barbara wine tour! We’ve been on more than 20 wine tours over the last decade, and this is by far the best.

Beautiful day on the water!
We had a fantastic time kayaking with James and Andre! They made sure that we all enjoyed the trip, whether we were relatively experienced with paddlers (my husband and I) or completely new to kayaking. Their briefing ensured we knew what to do and they made sure everyone was comfortable with the pace. We had a beautiful day - just perfect!

We’d definitely do this again!
Alex was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. The route was mostly on dedicated bikes paths and small side streets and, therefore, very safe. We stopped several times to safely view certain sites, including a giraffe. The bikes were well maintained and filled water bottles were provided. Each bike had a basket that we used to bring phones, more water bottles, and other conveniences.

Good little city tour
Good overview of the city from a knowledgeable guide, the trolly itself was in good shape. Santa Barbara doesn’t have the most exciting sites, but covered a good distance of the downtown area and saw what there was to see. Overall a good bang for your buck, not too long and not too short.

Magical
This was a gift purchase for a wedding party consisting of my son and new daughter-in-law, the bridesmaids and a groomsman. My son raved about the person who led the tour as someone who was truly an insider--an actual vintner who understood the varietals, the technical side of propagation, the processing, the fermentation, the techniques, the agricultural rhythms of the area, and the secrets of the smaller estates in contrast to the larger operations. He set himself apart personally by connecting with my son through common heritage, passions, outside hobbies, and more. Somehow I got the benefit of all these compliments as if I had deeply studied options for what was true human connection by coincidence on such a special occasion. It was truly magical!

40th birthday with friends
From start to finish I really enjoyed this experience. Our Guide was Jonny and he was packed full of knowledge and personality lol his background in agriculture just boosted the knowledge of wine growing. My favorite part was he let us know if we left a bit early from each place it would add up to time in Solving, which i loooved.

First-Time Kayakers Review of Ryan of Cal Coast Adventures
Our instructor Ryan was chill, knowledgeable, had a lot of good historical info, and made our first kayaking trip quite enjoyable. I had a bit of trepidation initially, as I always do with first-time activities, but he was so easy to chat with and gave great instructions. We saw some cool water wildlife, learned some interesting santa barbara history, and even got a few good tips on local restaurants. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks to Ryan!

What a great Wine Tour!
What a great tour! Cary was a wonderful driver/guide/host providing just the right amount of commentary and professional guidance as we visited Brick Barn Wine Estate, Babcock Winery & Vineyards, and Vega Vineyards & Farm. These were three very different experiences, but all situated in the beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley. BTW, lunch was delicious! This tour was well worth the time and expense. Thank you!

The only wine tour you should do while in Santa Barbara
This tour was amazing and totally made our first time trip to Santa Barbara. Karina was personable and in minutes our group had bonded and were having fun. She was very knowable about the area- history- agriculture-wine-food and other things to do.
I will definitly book this tour again on my next trip. Some of our group had done this tour before and she made sure that we visited new wineries for them so not a cookie cutter tour.
Karina also drove us back a different way so we really got to see all of the beauty the area had to offer.

Had a very enjoyable time...
Had a very enjoyable time with Scott and the various wine vineyards which were visited. Was very impressed to directly interact with the owners and gain insights to their perspectives on wine-making. This couldn’t have been found independently so we appreciate the connections.
