    • Special note for solo travelers: We love our solo travelers and look forward to you joining our tours! Because we are a small boutique company, our computer system automatically requires at least 2 people to book together before a solo traveler may book - as all of our tours require at least 2 people to run. Otherwise, our tours, with just one traveler, would run at a financial deficit. For 2 travelers, we break even. However, we never cancel our tours as long as at least two people are booked. Many tours require a higher minimum and will cancel. This minimum of 2 people for the first booking prevents us from making any cancellations and disappointing our potential guests. So if you are a solo traveler, and the computer is requiring 2 to book, please keep checking back for updated availability. You may also call and add yourself to a "wait list". Thank you for your understanding.
    • ###Please explain the Option A and Option B End times? Upon arrival back in Santa Barbara at approximately 2:30pm, either: - Return directly to the ship's embarkation location... OR - If time allows, let us take you on a concise driving tour of Santa Barbara, showcasing its rich history, stunning coastline, and elegant architecture. Driving tour will be adjusted to meet the boarding requirements, with a very comfortable margin, of the cruise ship. Our optional Santa Barbara driving tour will stay close by the ships boarding area, leaving you stress free with plenty of time to make your desired ship boarding time. When cruise ships are in port, our Santa Barbara Wine Country tour follows this special schedule, different from our regular tour schedule, to ensure cruise ship passengers have ample time to re-board their ship.
    • ###What about official delayed disembarkation times determined by the captain due to fog or other weather or reasons? If disembarkation from the ship is delayed by the cruise ship captain due to weather, we will adjust our schedule as needed. We understand that you are taking tinders to shore and must wait your turn. Please contact us the morning of the tour to let us know your disembarkation status. Please check in as soon as you get off the boat. We will depart as soon as everyone has arrived.
    • Children are welcome. If you need an infant seat, car seat, or booster seat, please contact us in advance so that we make help you make arrangements.
    • After booking, please contact us through the customer portal to submit your email address to insure we can get in touch with you. Let us know your preferred choice for communication - before and on the day of the tour.
    • This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate

    A great tour. Julie & Ken were great tour guides, were knowledgeable about the region, wine country history, & different areas. Wonderful stops, very personable with guests, answered questions about areas visited. Added a few additional stops in Santa Barbara for our group as we had additional time. Highly recommend this tour & Julie & Ken with Grape Adventures via Viatoelr. Thanks for a wonderful day!

    Due to foggy weather, the passengers from the Cruise ship could not go ashore and the tour operator gave me a full refund! When I come back to Santa Barbara, I will do a tour with Grape Adventures!

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    It is so very kind of you to take the time to write this review! I hope the rest of your trip was full of clear, blue skies! We look forward to hearing from you on a future trip! Julie
