I loved hearing the stories and experiences the professor has found out about Santa Barbra. You can hear her passion in what she does through her words. I was pulled in and intrigued to hear every word. She shows and tells you things that have happened to fellow walking tour guests, hometown folks, and even herself it’s truly an experience you have to try yourself. In our group we even experienced something’s, Next time I’m in Santa Barbra you better believe I’m signing up for an other tour she has so many stories on tour is ever the same can’t wait! Thank you for the experience and history behind Santa Barbra Professor.

We had such an amazing time on our tour! Julie made our tour very interesting and had so much knowledge about Santa Barbara! I truly didn’t want the tour to end! We plan to go back and go on another adventure with her. She is also a guide at the mission, and we will 100% take her up on her offer to tour the mission with her as well. It’s obvious that Julie loves what she does, and it shows in her passion and excitement during the tour!

It was a very special tour you attended. I am delighted how interested you are in the history and mystery of Santa Barbara! Once the Mission opens up after Covid-19 restrictions have concluded, I am excited to be your docent!
