A perfect outing - Our Santa Barbara bike and wine tour with William was a delightful experience! William's extensive knowledge of both the region's wines and history shone through, making the ride informative and engaging. The breathtaking views from the bikes were the perfect backdrop for our wine tastings, and the quality of the e-bikes themselves made the ride effortless and enjoyable. William's patience with our group was commendable, and we all appreciated the unique stops like the olive oil tasting, lavender farm, and charming Danish town. If you're looking for a scenic, informative, and delicious way to explore Santa Barbara, I highly recommend this tour with William!

Wine country and more - Beautiful views through towns and the wine valleys. Rolling terrain, though easy with an electric bike that 2 of us used for the first time.
We were picked up in downtown Santa Barbara with about a 45 minute beautiful ride to pick up our bikes.

Wonderful, memorable day - just perfect - We had a very wonderful day biking through Santa Ynez Valley, including passing by many vineyards, wineries, a lavender farm and through Solvang and Los Olivos. William was our knowledgeable, friendly guide, providing lots of information as we biked. We really appreciated his attention to safety too. Most of us used e-bikes for the first time. They were much appreciated, especially going up the rolling hills and climbing out of the valleys. At the end of the bike ride, we had an olive oil tasting and then 2 wine tastings and a very delicious lunch.
William - thank you for a truly memorable day.
