We did not take the tour to Solvang because we already knew it and we decided to walk around and get to know Santa Barbara, a town that we thought was very beautiful. When we got off the cruise, we were greeted very kindly by elderly people offering us information and plans to make better use of our time in Santa Barbara. They offered us a free truck that took us to places of interest in the center of the town. Very nice city, clean, tidy and friendly people, I would go again.
