A must for first timers

Joyce_D, Dec 2024

It was our first time in Solvang, and decided to book this tour for my birthday activity. This tour is perfect if you aren't familiar with the area, or if you don't know where to start (as Solvang does have a lot of shops). You hit all the highlights of Solvang in this tour (& you bypass the long lines -- it's like having a fast pass to all the popular shops). Our guide, Hannah, was lovely. She is very easy to talk to and didn't rush us in any way. We visited so many shops and tasted a bunch of food that my husband & I were so full at the end of our tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

So glad you enjoyed your time with Hannah in Solvang! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. And happy birthday!

Great food and wonderful guides

Dana_S, Dec 2024

We had a great experience learning local history and enjoying great food with Cameron and Hannah! Many stops and lots of variety. A very busy Saturday in December but our guides made things effortless. We had vegetarian options that were delicious. The chocolate store was amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! I’m so glad you enjoyed your time with our crew in Solvang. Happy holidays!

Not worth the money

Angela_P, Dec 2023

The tour was not great. Many of the stops had long waiting times and some had no sitting areas. There were no instructions about anything related to taking photos. Definitely not worth the money.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We take all feedback seriously and are always looking for ways to improve our tours. Unfortunately, during the holidays the wait time can be a little longer than our normal due to some of our restaurants being slammed and understaffed. We hope the rest of your time in Solvang was enjoyable and we wish you a happy holiday.

Highly recommend!

Cameron was great, funny and very informative! My husband and I enjoyed the trip and will probably gonna come back!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your review, Roslyn! Glad you enjoyed your time with us and we hope to see you on our Santa Barbara Funk Zone food tour someday!

We had an amazing time exploring Solvang, sampling the local merchant’s delicacies and learning about the City. Our guides were on time and very knowledgeable. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
