Santa Barbara Became One of Our Favorite Places After This Tour

We chose this tour because it had great reviews, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. Our guide, Felix, has spent most of his life in Santa Barbara, so he knew exactly where to take us, both in the city and in the surrounding areas. He created a calm, relaxed atmosphere that perfectly matched our pace as a family traveling with two pre-teens, who also had a fantastic time. We discovered beautiful places with stunning views, had lunch overlooking the ocean, and watched the sunset from up high. We also visited some of the city’s most interesting historic spots. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience, and I would totally recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys landscapes, nature, and learning about the history of a place. After this tour, we all agreed as a family that Santa Barbara is now one of our favorite destinations, and we will definitely be coming back. As a fun extra, Felix has even appeared in a few movies, so he has some really entertaining stories to share. Easy 5 out of 5 stars. 🌟

Jerry gave us the most wonderful experience. Will and I were visiting from NC and first timers in Santa Barbara. It was such an excellent and fun day. Enjoyed the history, views and even a fantastic lunch was included. Couldn’t have been happier with the day.

Great day out exploring all the highlights of Santa Barbara with Jerry. He is a local who is very knowledgeable and knows the area extremely well. You'll get to stop, or atleast drive past, all the main attractions and neighborhoods. We had a pleasant day and also enjoyed a nice picnic lunch overlooking the ocean!! Don't hesitate to book this tour if you're in need of a general SB tour!!

My family and I had a fantastic tour of Santa Barbara with Jerry, who demonstrated exceptional professionalism and extensive knowledge of local attractions. He provided convenient pickup and drop-off services from our Airbnb and at each site we visited. Most notably, my children thoroughly enjoyed themselves, appreciating the complimentary snacks and beverages he offered. We also savored a delightful lunch at Shoreline Park. For a superb tour experience, I highly recommend Jerry. We certainly look forward to touring with him again.
Discovered so many treasures in Santa Barbara!

World class private tour!! Our private driver/tour guide, Jerry, went above and beyond in providing us a comfortable, safe, informative and fun tour! Jerry provided us with a picnic lunch at the beach and had snacks and drinks for us during the entire tour. He was very patient, helpful and very respectful! He never rushed us or gave us time limits which made us feel first class in service! He took us to so many beautiful places that were so memorable for us! We also got to see some private hidden spots that we never expected to see!! We highly recommend you taking this tour! Thank you Jerry for taking good care of us! We truly appreciated the VIP service!

Jason was very accommodating, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about Santa Barbara. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Being allowed to take our time at each stop and take in the beautiful Santa Barbara scenery made the tour a delight. This was our first time visiting the city and it was only a planned day-trip. After the tour and discovery so much, we know we must return. THANK YOU for exceeding our expectations!
Great customer service

I wrote a review yesterday that was not favorable and I did not realize that this company was going to make an exception for me. My mistake I should have waited but I am going through an emotional time and jumped the gun. They are VERY accommodating and I can't wait till Nov to take the tour. Thanks for your understanding. Stand up company....
