Great experience
Karen_V, Mar 2024
Our driver Jacob was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable and professional. He was a great driver and very safe when driving us on our tour.
Stood us up and still charged credit card
Susan_B, Feb 2024
What a waste of a company! I received a confirmation the day before our outing but the next day no one showed up at the pick up location. While waiting for them to show up I called their number and no one answered. I sent 2 emails and today 2 days after the failed event they have not responded and I see that they have accepted payment from my credit card. I’m disputing the charge of 330. Don’t trust this company- they should have at least let us know they couldn’t honor our appt. In addition, another couple was waiting at the pick up location- their appt was 30 mins before ours. They waited an hour and then left since no one showed for them or us.
No one showed up - disappointed

I booked this experience very far in advanced and on the day no one showed up. We tried contacting them multiple times and no one answered. We never got to experience it. Be aware of this!
SCAM& HOAX
Brandon_H, Feb 2024
We showed up at 3:45…. Waited for the sidecars to show up. They came at 4:10… they told us they never start their tours at 4pm, that the company we purchased thrift doesn’t exist, and we got screwed and scammed. I called and reported, still haven’t heard back. I planned our entire evening around this adventure and we were told it was a hoax. The bike drivers said they are outta inland empire and came here only for a special bachelor party and usually don’t show up here, random coincidence. I called the owner of the sidecar company kept going to voicemail, then it said it was after hours… my wife and I ended going back to our hotel as by the time we got this all figured out everything was closed. I am so beyond disappointed and frustrated…. I’m about to go online and make everyone never use Viator and sidecar tours or whatever the hell this is…. You’re truly
Fun for everyone!

Amazing experience. We loved the 2 wineries, our driver, Fred was great, the whole experience was so fun. It’s a great way to see Santa Barbara if you haven’t been up in the hills. There are phenomenal views of the hills out to the ocean. It is a bit fast coming down the hill I must say and we felt a bit rushed at the second winery. The last winery (where you start) wasn’t included so we only had two wineries. I would recommend figuring this part out ahead of time, as the ad implies three wineries, we are asking for a refund. With all that said, I would do this experience again in a heartbeat. it was such a fun way to see Santa Barbara and get driven around after a few wine tastings.
So much fun!

This was a very fun tour and our driver/guide was amazing and so friendly. The Carr wine was amazing and so friendly, even showing us the grapes fermenting. Amazing!
A huge disappointment
Penny_P, Oct 2023
We were really looking forward to this trip and changed our plans so we could stay on an extra day to do it (we are travelling from the UK) as there was no availability the two days beforehand. But the trip was cancelled on us less than 2hrs before, due to driver illness. Then wasted an hour hanging on while they tried to sort something out but without success. A huge disappointment. Anyone booking this trip should be aware of the risk of cancellation as they obviously have no back up. Three days later we are still waiting for the full refund we were promised.
The Perfect Day

So much fun!! Fred was the perfect guide and loved seeing beautiful Santa Barbara from a sidecar. Wineries were wonderful and well appointed.
What a great birthday trip!

Jose was such a great guide! He made the trip so fun and was so accommodating. I will definitely recommend this trip!
15th Anniversary Celebration
Jeremy_J, Aug 2023
We celebrated our 15-year anniversary and this was a great way to see a lot of the city and taste some good wines too. Highlights were Franceschi Park, Butterlfy Beach, and Jamie Slone Winery. Our original appointment was quickly rescheduled due to a freak weather issue and they accommodated the switch without me even prompting them. The only negative was when I originally signed up, it listed Carr, Jamie Slone, and Pali wineries but we only went to Jamie Sloan and Fox Wine. I thought it also said lunch was provided but later found out that it wasn’t. We would still do it again if for nothing more than the experience and sites that we were able to see. We recommend doing it early in your trip in case it changes what you do with the rest of your time, like us. We plan on spending a day at Butterfly Beach as a result.
Fun but not as advertised
Katherine_H, Jul 2023
Robert was a great guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a fun experience and we stopped at several sightseeing spots in SB. Be warned that you will go to two wineries not three and only one was correctly listed in the details (Jamie Sloan). So you aren’t really getting the value you may expect. Keep that in mind when deciding if this right for you.
Exciting sidecar ride in Santa Barbara
mecredi_c, Jun 2023
I had a great time riding around in Santa Barbara. It’s a quaint little city with fantastic views and the guide was super friendly. I hope everyone has an opportunity to experience this.
Had such a good time...
