Jason was very accommodating, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about Santa Barbara. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Being allowed to take our time at each stop and take in the beautiful Santa Barbara scenery made the tour a delight. This was our first time visiting the city and it was only a planned day-trip. After the tour and discovery so much, we know we must return. THANK YOU for exceeding our expectations!

I wrote a review yesterday that was not favorable and I did not realize that this company was going to make an exception for me. My mistake I should have waited but I am going through an emotional time and jumped the gun. They are VERY accommodating and I can't wait till Nov to take the tour. Thanks for your understanding. Stand up company....

Hi, Janet, Well, actually we made no exception for you because the one who took your call didn't know that we gladly will take you or anyone else solo and we're overwhelmed with a great deal of happiness that you selected us for the tour . Likewise, we look forward to seeing you this, November .
