It was a great tour learning the history of Santa Barbara. Our tour guide was fantastic. I was very glad for the stop at the church because I had to go to the restroom.

Great trolley ride and even better guide. Rusty was informative, charming, friendly and a great driver. The history he shared was great and it was so interesting. His communication and candor were so appreciated. You can tell he is a professional who cares about his job and the people he transport.

Nothing interesting. You could do this on your own. Why you ask for 100 characters. This is ridiculous

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!
