Best part of our trip!

This company worked with us despite our travel issues due to a horrific rental car situation and delayed flight. They gave us Alex as a guide and he was wonderful! He was so knowledgeable, friendly & flexible. I highly recommend this company & try to get Alex!

Really overall the...

Really overall the experience was good. The Guide seemed a little disengaged. Although he was friendly. It was a great overview of the city. Equipment was good and the route did not go on any real busy streets.

Operator response

Glad you enjoyed your electric bike tour! Sorry to hear you guide was a little disengaged. Sounds like the tour still went well and you got to see the beauties Santa Barbara has to offer.

So Glad We Chose This E-Bike Tour!

This was our first trip to Santa Barbara. Making the reservation through TripAdvisor was quick and easy. We did it while en route the day before our arrival. I appreciated that the listing on TA had lots of information so I didn’t have to guess about details. We arrived early to get our bikes and get acclimated. The staff was helpful and attentive. Zach was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. The locations were beautiful and well chosen. Zach also shared quite a bit of Santa Barbara history which was a treat. It was also a great way to see key points and spots we wanted to return to. Overall, for our first ever visit to SB, this was excellent! I highly recommend the Cal Coast Adventures E-Bike Tour! Ask for Zach!

Operator response

Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad your electric bike tour was such a fun way to experience Santa Barbara for the first time. Zach does a great job combining local history with some of the best sights around town, and it’s great to hear you found some spots you wanted to come back and explore afterward. We really appreciate you choosing Cal Coast Adventures and hope to see you again next time you’re in Santa Barbara!

Great family private e-bike tour

Alex took us on a fantastic e-bike tour today around Santa Barbara. We definitely saw things we would have easily missed and Alex had loads of great info on the area. The e-bike instructions were easy to follow and made the ride so much more fun. Having done many bike tours I will never not use an e-bike in the future!

Operator response

Yay! So excited to hear that you had a great e bike tour with Alex and saw some special spots that added to the unique experience.
