The best way to see Santa Barbara

Alex was terrific. He fitted my bike to me and showed me how to use an ebike. We covered a lot of territory and on stops he explained what we were seeing. I got a very god sense of Santa Barbara and really think everyone should do this tour

Nice tour of the city
Response from the operator · calcoastadventures Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your Santa Barbara bike tour and that Alex did such a great job sharing his knowledge of the area! Brenden was actually joining Alex as part of his training and was only on his second bike tour, so we understand there was a difference in experience and knowledge between the two guides. We appreciate your patience as our newer team members learn alongside our experienced guides. Thanks again for joining us!
