Girls trip - We had a wonderful ride, beautiful views, delicious lunch. The e-bikes make the ride doable for a group that doesn’t ride much. Definitely recommend!

Wet and wonderful wine tour - William was a fantastically gracious host, even on a wet and rather damp day in Santa Ynez. The care and effort put in by William more than compensated for not being able to get on the bikes due to poor weather. In fairness, it probably did my wife and I a favour whilst enjoying the wine tasting. Thank you William, perhaps one day we'll return for the bike ride!

Excellent experience! - We had a blast with William. The bikes were easy to get used to. We lived zipping along the back roads in wine country. William planned fun stops and made a fantastic lunch for us to enjoy. It was really the highlight of our trip!

Great tour not too strenuous! - William was great guide and very knowledgeable about the region and the wines at the end of the ride! The 16 mile ride with the E bikes was easy for any level of rider.

10/10 Bike & Wine Tour - My sister & I were looking for wine tours, we’re so glad to have found this one! It was the most perfect day. We loved having the e-bike option since there were times it was a bit hilly. William was a fantastic tour guide! His knowledge of the history of the area & different vineyards was incredible. It was amazing to learn/listen to him. The course he took us on had a little bit of everything! Sprawling hills of vineyards, lavender farm, a cute Danish town & even miniature ponies! We ended the bike tour with a balsamic & olive oil tasting before enjoying a delicious lunch followed by 2 different wine tasting flights. Both vineyards were stunning in their own way. We definitely recommend booking this tour!

Incredible Experience! - Three of us were visiting SB for a milestone birthday retreat and took William's Santa Ynez Valley Biking and Wine Tasting Tour. We stayed at the Ritz in Santa Barbara, and William picked us up in the morning and then delivered us back to our hotel, after the tour. From arrival, he was a storyteller with a wealth of knowledge about the area. The e-bikes, personalized water bottle, informational tour through Santa Ynez, stop at Solvang for some danishes, provided charcuterie board and lunch, and tasting at two wineries were all so much fun and the absolute highlight of our time in SB. Thank you, William, for such a treat and a good time!
