Description
Our local guides know best. We'll take you on a tour to our 3 favorite taquerias and a nice e-bike ride to boot! Tour includes 1 taco at each place and 1 beer or soda at the last place. The low price won't break your budget and the history and sights will amaze you. There are meat options and non-meat options. My favorite is pastor which is a pineapple flavored pork. Please join us for the fun and filling lunch ride.

Biking in Santa Barbara!
Well, it was my husband and I’s first time riding e-bikes so that was really exciting. Mike assisted with explaining how the bike worked prior to going on our excursion. Mike had so much knowledge about the city of Santa Barbara and all of the landmarks we visited. What was a plus was the tacos so delicious. Mike has great conversation and was a really nice person and guide. I would definitely recommend this activity because you get to workout and have fun at the same time. Also, I forget her name but when we first got there she informed me that Mike was running a little behind. I love that she informed me. All in all this was a great activity and I recommend it.
Operator response
Thanks Markenna! A little biking, a little history, a few tacos. I'm glad I got to share it with you guys.

Terrific tacos and biking
Mike is very entertaining. Very knowledgeable. Grew up in Santa Barbara. We would highly recommend the taco tour. Go hungry. We get three tacos delicious tacos! Mike is very easy to talk to he made biking for those of us who have not been on a bike in a long time very easy. We would highly recommend the E bike tour with tacos. You got a nice view of the city. The beach. And a taste of the culture.

A time to remember!
This is an AMAZING way to explore Santa Barbara. I absolutely loved this experience. Mike the owner was great and explained all aspects of riding an electric bike because I had never ridden one before. But Brent was who gave me the tour and I must say this private tour experience that I had was top notch. I didn’t realize I would have my own tour guide. It was lovely! Brent was super knowledgeable and gave me an experience that was thoughtful and unique and local. We stopped at 3 spots for tacos, I got to see butterfly beach and so many other gems of the area. This tour I would HIGHLY recommend. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.
Operator response
Thanks for the kind words. I'll be sure to pass this onto Brent! I'm glad you enjoyed the taco tour.

Felt like spending time with a local friend
Mark went out of his way to allow us to start at an earlier time. He had a close friend who is also a long-time resident of SB take us around. The taco stops were great. The local history was pretty good.

Thanks Sunita. I'll pass this onto your tour guide.
