If you are interested in a fun day of biking the backroads through the countryside, passing horse farms, visiting a lavender farm and traveling through Solvang onto some fabulous vineyards then this is the tour for you. We opted for the 15 mile bike ride with the option of shortening the length if we needed to. William was very thorough and took into account everyone's ability, giving a short lesson on operating the gears so we were all comfortable on our bikes. The starting point was in Los Olivos, he picked us up promptly at our hotel in Santa Barbara and then the beautiful drive out to Los Olivos where we began our bike journey. The ride was moderately challenging once entering Ballard Canyon, some in our party grabbed a taxi (arranged by William) from Solvang to meet up with us at Rusack Vineyards. We ended our bike ride there and then William retrieved his van from Los Olivos and drove us to Rideau Vineyards for an wonderful lunch. While we were inside wine tasting he set us up a beautiful spread in the enclosed patio. The lunch was wonderful he thought of everything from the sparkling water, to the homemade salad from his wife. He joined us near the end of lunch and we had a wonderful conversation with him about life in general. It was a fabulous day and William was a great host and guide with a lot of knowledge. Don't miss this tour!!!

The short of it, we had a great time. William was an excellent host who is very knowledgeable of the Santa Barbara wine country and an extremely pleasant person. He was very courteous and made sure everyone was comfortable on their bikes and able to navigate the hills while giving us history on the vineyards and the surrounding area. During the tour we mentioned we also enjoyed craft beer and he sent me an email that evening listing out his recommendations for local breweries. The tasting rooms we went to after the ride clearly had a good relationship with him and were also very courteous to us with great recommendations. The lunch was a perfect post ride meal and all in all we had a very enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Our experience of this tour is consistent with the previous reviews it is definitely a great day and William is a very accommodating guide. My husband and I went on the tour midweek so enjoyed William's hospitality and knowledge all to ourselves. The bike ride is highly enjoyable and takes you through the town of Solvang and past many beautiful properties and vineyards. A basic level of fitness is required for the ride. After the ride you are treated to an olive oil and two wine tastings with very helpful and friendly staff. The tour concludes at Rideau Vineyards which is absolutely beautiful... William provided an amazing lunch (the best we had while staying in Santa Barbara). Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the wine region and see the beautiful scenery. As a bonus William provides pick up/drop off from accommodation and is happy to provide local knowledge about Santa Barbara.
