Great way to see santa barbara

5.00Neither myself nor my husband had ever ridden an e-bike. The team at Cal Coast did a great job showing us the different ebikes and letting us test drive a few to figure out which bike to ride. Once on the bikes, Alex was a fantastic tour guide. He took us all over santa barbara and had a deep working knowledge about the architecture and history of SB, as well as calling out the names of flowers, trees and animals we saw along the way. Alex made our trip fun and interesting- def a 5 star activity.
Wonderful e-bike tour!

5.00Alex was a great guide and provided a wonderful introduction to Santa Barbara. He was aware when one rider struggled and made sure she was able to figure out her bike. He was well-informed about the city and gave great recommendations for restaurants and other activities.

5.00We did the guided ebike tour with Danny. We had another couple with us and Danny was amazing. The ebikes were in great condition, they have us a bottle of water and helmets. Danny took extra time to brief us before we stared, was very patient answering questions through our the tour, and customized the tour based on where we wanted to spend more time to take pictures. He also offered to click pictures along the way. He was very knowledgeable, had a lot of info to share along the way, stopped at great spots, and took us to places that a tourist like me would not discover on my own. Overall, I would definitely recommend the tour company, and Danny to anyone for these tours.
