I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, and have lived here for forty years. Julie introduced me to history and trivia about this town! That part alone was very interesting, but the paranormal elements gave the history a fascinating and enduring place in my mind. I now downtown with very different eyes. As a guide, Julie is everything you want. She is energetic, articulate, very fun, and a great storyteller. She was dressed in a fabulous white gown and was totally fun!

It is always "beyond" delightful to have a native Santa Barbarian on our history and mystery tour. History becomes more vivid for you and then if our visiting ghosts come by...they are delighted as they have loved and lived in our fair town, too. Thank you for your beautifully written review!

I am not a believer in Ghosts but our guide made the tour interesting and we got to see a few buildings and it's history of them. My Fiancé is more of a believer and she liked it. It's a unique experience.
