We did this tour on our first day in Santa Barbara and it was a wonderful tour! We went to and learned so much about places in Santa Barbara. On top of that, the food and drinks were great and were plenty for us!

It was easy to find the starting point and Melissa was waiting for us so we eagerly started the tour ahead of schedule. It was nice to have someone familiar with the area guide us through the busy downtown area and direct us to some cool local bars and restaurants away from the tourist traps. Learning about the history of Santa Barbara, seeing the historic buildings, taking in the spectacular views at a leisurely pace while enjoying the local hot spots was a real treat.

My Son, Daughter-in-law, and I were fortunate to spend our first day in Santa Barbara with Melissa on this tour. We learned a lot about the history and culture and got to sample some excellent cocktails and food. Melissa is knowledgeable and fun! I highly recommend her tours.
