My friend and I went on the 3 hour Cocktail and History walking tour of Santa Barbara. We lucked out and got our guide, Melissa, all to ourselves. We had a wonderful time and the history of the city that Melissa shared was truly inspiring. She has an extensive knowledge of the city and is a delightful person to experience this tour with. The cocktail stops were tasty and a nice reprieve from the walking. I would highly recommend this tour to learn about Santa Barbara.

Thanks for much for taking the tour with Totally Cali Tours, Stacey, and for leaving this review. It was a lot of fun showing you around Santa Barbara!

Melissa was so friendly and fun. I especially appreciate that even though my party of 2 was the only group to sign up, she still conducted the tour and didn’t cancel. Made it a lovely private tour where we were able to ask lots of questions and really enjoy our time together. The stops were great picks and I really appreciated the special attention the owner of Night Lizard Brewery (our first stop) gave us, including a backroom tour of the distillery.

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of spending the afternoon with Melissa on a history and cocktails tour. She has incredible knowledge of the fascinating history of Santa Barabara as well as the thriving food and beverage industry there. We enjoyed a walking tour of the city and I am confident that many of the most interesting locations we would have never found on our own. We enjoyed wonderful craft cocktails, fantastic local beers, and the absolute BEST empanadas we've ever tasted. It felt like an afternoon with a best friend. Not only do we HIGHLY recommend ANY of their tours but we can't wait to come back and schedule more tours for our family!!
