A Bike tour of Santa Barbara with Danny is a must!

5.00Danny was superb. Our tour was perfect- we saw the city from prominent points that included the Ty Warners perimeter with absolutely fabulous landscaping on a secluded bike path., City College, and the Courthouse clock tower. He mapped the two-hour ride to match our riding skills, and along the way, shared local color that was informative and fascinating. When we return to SB, we will book him again. Just outstanding. W & M
A day cycling with Danny in SB is the BEST!

5.00Danny has learned all the nuances and highlights of Santa Barbara to share with his cycling customers. Even Pace the ride so that every time we were ready to stop for a little water we were at an incredible Vista like Thai Warner’s bikepath or city College or the courthouse Clocktower.. we could not have seen this much of the city without his help or the bikes that were in great condition. This is a must if you want a safe, informative and pleasurable day in Santa Barbara.

5.00Great experience. Sergio and Sean were very knowledgeable about both mountain biking and the area. We took the beginners class and had a great time biking around the coast next to UCSB. They took us to several great overlooks and could not have been more professional and helpful. Strongly recommend.

5.00This is the 2nd year in a row we used CalCoast for a team building activity. The guides were amazing and took the group on a route that was challenging, but suitable for different levels. Everyone had a blast! They are very organized and it was extremely easy to plan a group outing. Will definitely be using them next year.
