We had an awesome time on this excursion. Nancy was a fun and very informative guide. We learned a ton about the history of this wonderful city and sampled a lot of great food, wine and beer. It was a lot food and a great value. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time. Can't wait to go again. Airbnb was very nice. We went fishing, walked along the coast, Santa Barbara is so beautiful,,I would love to go again in the future. The weather was not very good, we went during a storm, but it still was very nice.

My girlfriend and I went on the tour today with Nancy. We had a wonderful time. Even in the rain, it was a pleasure to stroll with her and the rest of the people in the tour group and stop at local spots for some delicious food, and learn a little bit of history along the way. We ate pad thai, tacos al pastor (you could choose your own taco), macaroons, pizza (a Naples award-winning pizza, I might add!), ice cream, wine tasting, and olive oil tasting (I was skeptical but was very pleasantly surprised!). Each stop was delicious, the food was ready right when we arrived, and very well-paced. With all the food, it was nice to have a couple of breaks to walk around and do something still food- and drink-based but lighter. We left the tour satisfied but not overstuffed. Nancy was wonderful and sweet. She knows a lot about Santa Barbara, and it was really great to learn from her. She and the company clearly have good relationships with all the restaurants and vendors, and we loved spending the afternoon with her. Highly recommended!
