Great for solo travelers - You can join solo so you aren't bound by a minimum of 2 like some competitors. Mike was very cool and the tour had a lot of information. I mainly enjoyed the bike ride itself the most and the bike was in excellent shape.

Nice day for a fun bike tour - Mike was a great guide. He is a local with a deep history of Santa Barbara. We really saw the highlights of the town and went places we might not have discovered without Mike. The e bikes were fun and great time. We recommend this tour.
