Melissa is a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgeable about Santa Barbara history. You can tell she loves living here and has an infectious enthusiasm for the city. Wear your walking shoes and prepare to taste some good local wine. We really enjoyed our day.

My wife and I decided to get out of LA for Labor Day weekend, and we went and celebrated our anniversary in Santa Barbara. We paid in advance to join a group walking wine and chocolate tour. It turns out we were the only two people to have booked for the weekend, so we essentially ended up with a full private tour. Our tour guide was Melissa, and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was pleasantly surprised when the tour included a ton of historical retellings throughout downtown Santa Barbara, as well as a description of modern-day murals. One of the first major stops was at Santa Barabra Winery, where we had an amazing time tasting a great assortment of wines. We definitely made a few purchases on the way out. We were also fortunate enough to be hosted specifically by Dave. He was super informative and hospitable. I would like to share many things about this tour, but I don't want to spoil it for the next set of individuals who try out this walking tour. We had a great time and would highly recommend it. Thanks again, Melissa.Knowledgeable guide very friendly and paced the afternoon perfectly.

On the Wine, Chocolate and History Walking Tour We had a thoroughly enjoyable tour of historic Santa Barbara beginning at an architectural treasure, the Santa Barbara Courthouse. During our three hour walk through historic Santa Barbara we stopped for a wine tasting accompanied by chocolates hand produced by my favorite chocolatier from the Gold Coast, Chocolats du Cali Bressan, which provided an exquisite pairing with a five course wine sampling. With informative commentary from our guide, owner operator Melissa, we ambled to our next destination for further tastings, a shop purveying very flavorful local olive oils and balsamic vinegars, whose owner was most helpful and informative, her presentation led to several purchases for my further enjoyment at home. We finished our tour in the colorful Funk section of Santa Barbara. Completely worth the time and money and well conducted by Melissa.This was such a wonderful experience! Melissa was an amazing guide and the wines were delish and the chocolate’s absolutely decadent! Really made our trip to Santa Barbara memorable!
