Reviews: Santa Barbara: Electric Bike City Tour
Guest User2025-04-26
It was amazing! We booked a group tour, but ended up having a private tour with Bryce. He is a Santa Barbara native, and took us up in the Montecito Hills. We have seen plenty of the waterfront, Funk Zone and State Street. We wanted to go off the beaten path. The Ebikes were top of the line and so was Bryce!!★

Amazing! The first tour of the day is perfect to get an idea of the layout and some very interesting stories, and then revisit on foot anything that caught your eye.★

Reviews: Santa Barbara: Guided Tour on electric bikes (private)
Guest User2025-11-23
Mike was a super star. It was torrential rain and he still took us around, showing us the sights and best bits of Santa Barbara. He is a local so we got to see so much that no one else would know or notice! Including his family home! We really enjoyed it and highly recommend★

Reviews: Santa Barbara Trolley Tour
Guest User2026-01-27
This tour was informative and more interesting than I expected. I learned a lot about Santa Barbara’s history from the 1700s to today, with a nice mix of historical and current facts. The guide shared great details, from ship cannons and early coastal defenses to celebrities who live in the area now.
One highlight was a small upscale town filled mostly with high-end women’s clothing boutiques. We learned it’s a quiet, paparazzi-free area where celebrities live and spend time. Another standout was seeing a unique house built from artist-painted panels created by local artists, which was really cool to see in person.
The only downside was the seating. The wooden benches didn’t offer much back support, and after a while it became uncomfortable.
Overall, this is a great tour for first-time visitors and adults who want to learn about the area without doing a lot of walking.
