We love taking our guests to see the Old Mission Santa Barbara; it’s one of those “must-see” sites one shouldn’t miss while visiting the area. Situated on 13 acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Mission grounds include the beautiful Mission church, Historic Cemetery and Mausoleum, a wonderful in-depth museum, plenty of historical artwork and artifacts and multiple breathtaking gardens. If planning a day touring Santa Barbara, this is the number one historical destination we’d recommend folks don’t miss. We visit the Queen of Missions on many of our tours, including most of our city history tours, and on some of our wine and beer tours. It truly is the gem of the California Missions, with it’s magnificent architecture and glorious views of the Pacific, so don’t miss it if you’re in town.

This is a photo of our guests enjoying a very special wine & chocolate pairing at the Sanford Winery Tasting Room in Santa Barbara, on a custom luxury tour we created just for them. It was a pretty amazing day

We absolutely LOVE creating custom tour experiences for our guests; it is so fun! We like to offer plenty of options for our visitors here in Santa Barbara, and that’s easy to do. You can explore history at the Santa Barbara Mission, or stop for cocktails at the Four Seasons Resort at the Biltmore, if relaxing is your thing. You can even book a private  surfing lesson to be enjoyed at sunrise…..we’ve got so many ideas. There is always something to do in Santa Barbara. Whether you prefer the sand and sea, or visiting breweries and eating chicken and waffles, we’ve got you covered. We know where to find the good stuff. Yum and Yay! Let’s go!

Cheers!

Remember the last time you traveled to a new place, and treated your sweetie to a surprise birthday gift of a little getaway? And booked a walking city tour that revolved around history and cocktails? You know, where you had a super-fun guide show you around a beautiful city like Santa Barbara, and learned about the history of a place going back 13,500 years? Oh yeah, and the gin gimlet was A-MAZING! Best way to get to know a city, and fall in love all over again, ever! Happy Hour History Tour! #santabarbarashines @thegoodlionbar #gingimlet #santabarbaracitytours #fun #cocktails #historytours #California #santabarbara #californiavacation

What’s so cool about being on a wine tour is that each one has a heart of it’s own, which evolves over the course of the day. The guests and the guide take in the terroir of the day:  the salt of the ocean breeze as it tangles along the Santa Barbara coast, the soft, felted fog layer pushing up against Sta. Rita Hills, the morning air that feels as crisp as an apple. Add in the golden light of a season in a sip of wine before noon, crunch of simple crackers between tastes of honeydew and pepper, and intermittent laughter. The day will probably gift you with a new favorite wine, appreciation for the simplicities of a day in the country with limited cell service, or a bottle of garlic olive oil fresh off the farm. At the end of the day, the tour it has it’s own distinct personality just like the people on the Totally Cali Tours van- sometimes wild, sometimes mellow, but never lacking heart.
