The two hour Santa Barbara tour with Pintours just didn’t live up to expectations. We could not understand the narration (heavy accent) , very limited information – we would’ve found out more by looking it up on the Internet ourselves. We stopped it midway through and didn’t finish the tour.
Tour was fine, the commentary was interesting and the locations were fun. Recommend starting around 1
Buggy app and narration wasn’t anything to write home about. Got to the location and the app wouldn’t play the narration. And had to keep exiting the tour and restarting it to make any kind of progress. Self drive option is not great as well since it does not play well with car play for directions
Horrible. Never once did anyone tell me you needed a car for this tour!!! They took my money without explaining that. Am on vacation and do not have a car!!!!
I am not sure if it was Pintours or myself. It was challenging to navigate the Audio tour, so we decided to explore the city on our own by visiting the popular attractions and more. If we had known this earlier, we would have saved the money we spent on the Audio tour and invested it in something else. I am not an IT expert, but I am competent. When it comes to tasks like following audio, I know how to handle it. Karl Vögeler-Suegart / Ontario / Canada
We booked the private bus option and it was great! My best friends and I planned a group reunion and Pintours helped us plan the perfect day! We were able to tour all of Santa Barbara, privately and in class!
Great way to see Santa Barbara and learn the history. Driver will customize and go at your pace. Our Driver was Great!!!!!
Great tour from a Santa Barbara local expert! Highly recommend if you are looking to explore Santa Barbara area!
