Beautiful town but a disappointing tour. Our tour guide meant well, but did not meet basic presentation skills. - I’m bummed to write a negative review because it was clear that our tour guide showed up eager to please. He brought his guitar and he had his face painted and overall had a very friendly demeanor. That said, the tour was a waste of time. He did not share much detail about ghosts or the history of Santa Barbara. In fact, he was reading the plaque outside one of the historic sites mispronouncing the words. It was very obvious he was either really new or did not have presentation skills and Incyte needed to make a tour like this eventful. I’m so sorry to be negative. In fact, I was not going to send a review, but the TripAdvisor portal has inundated me with texts and emails asking for a review. So here it goes. Presentation skills are a must. Understanding of ghosts and how they operate if they are real is expected on a ghost tour. An agenda of where we are going how far we are walking would be very helpful. Also, the tour details stated that we were going to walk for an hour. We had passed the second landmark at one hour with really no clarity on what we were seeing and how long we would be walking. The guitar should be left at home. I left the tour early before the 3rd landmark. Please learn how to pronounce Hydrangea as it is a key detail at one of the spots. I’m so sorry to be a total “Karen”.

Service sucks - Customer service was terrible. Asked (yes 1 hour late) about getting a refund or get information about accommodations for someone with inabilities to walk. Heard nothing back at all except it was too late to cancel. Ended up not going because there was no communication.
