Fantastic walking tour and guide in Santa Barbara - Melissa is an awesome tour guide!!
Her depth of knowledge and love for the city of Santa Barbara enhanced every place we visited.
Two great wineries, two artisan chocolate experiences, the murals in the Funk Zone, the architecture and history, and visiting the general's old adobe were all SO much better with her informative escort.
She made our visit to SB a great experience.

SB Walking Wine Tour Review - My wife and I decided to get out of LA for Labor Day weekend, and we went and celebrated our anniversary in Santa Barbara. We paid in advance to join a group walking wine and chocolate tour. It turns out we were the only two people to have booked for the weekend, so we essentially ended up with a full private tour.
Our tour guide was Melissa, and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised when the tour included a ton of historical retellings throughout downtown Santa Barbara, as well as a description of modern-day murals.
One of the first major stops was at Santa Barabra Winery, where we had an amazing time tasting a great assortment of wines. We definitely made a few purchases on the way out. We were also fortunate enough to be hosted specifically by Dave. He was super informative and hospitable.
I would like to share many things about this tour, but I don't want to spoil it for the next set of individuals who try out this walking tour.
We had a great time and would highly recommend it. Thanks again, Melissa.
