  • A Great Way to See Santa Barbara!

    We had such a fantastic time on the trolley tour around Santa Barbara! It was the perfect way to get an overview of the city’s history, charm, and must-see spots. Joey, our guide, was absolutely wonderful—so knowledgeable, personable, and fun. He shared great stories and facts about every location we passed, and you could tell he really enjoys what he does. The tour gave us a solid list of places we wanted to explore more afterward, like the Santa Barbara Mission, Stearns Wharf, and the Funk Zone. It was a relaxing ride with beautiful views and helpful info that made the rest of our visit even better. Highly recommend starting your trip with this tour—you’ll learn a lot, laugh a bit, and get your bearings before diving in on foot. Thanks again, Joey!

    Great way to see the key places and learn the history of Santa Barbra as they are spread out. Only alternative is electric bikes today as walking would be more than a days effort.
