Although we really liked our tour guide, he was not well versed in anything about the history of the area. When we booked it listed the Mission and the City Hall as stops along the way, both of which we did not do. They were the reason we booked the tour. When we asked him about them with about a half hour left of our tour, he said we didnt' have time to go there.
Our family of 5 in age ranges of 16 - 55 LOVED this experience. The tour was engaging for our teens. The bikes are easy to maneuver no matter your age. Highly recommend and we would all love to do it again. Also a good idea for out of town guests.
Going into Montecito hills the road is narrow with dangerous heavy traffic. My wife was driven into the ditch when a truck behind her sat on his horn and she thought she would be hit. I then lost control of my bike trying to turn safely and render assistance. Stick to the beach bike path.
