Our tour guides are locals and we know lots of fun facts and history of the sights we show. We do research on each point of interest in order to give you interesting stories. Because our tour is on bikes we can show you Channel Drive and State Street Promenade which can't be accessed by car. Our comfortable and fun electric bikes let you see more in less time. You'll love the 360 degree view of downtown and the coastline from the Courthouse tower and the story of how it was built. We'll tell you the story behind the sights including the interesting people involved. We love telling you about our favorite restaurants and ice cream stores. Some of them are off State Street and don't even have any signs. We ride right through the neighborhood our owner grew up in. Many people say our tours are the highlight of their trip to Santa Barbara.

You can join solo so you aren't bound by a minimum of 2 like some competitors. Mike was very cool and the tour had a lot of information. I mainly enjoyed the bike ride itself the most and the bike was in excellent shape.

Mike was a great guide. He is a local with a deep history of Santa Barbara. We really saw the highlights of the town and went places we might not have discovered without Mike. The e bikes were fun and great time. We recommend this tour.
