Great wine tour - Great bike tour and wine tasting. Beautiful scenery. Excellent lunch. William was a great guide and the e bikes made the trip very comfortable. Our 13 year old had no problem with mileage. Great day trip if staying in Santa Barbara. Lovely to visit Solvang, with its Danish architecture and shops. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Tour - This was a very relaxing bike tour through the wine country of San Ynez valley and Solvang. William is a very knowledgeable and relaxed host. The e-bikes were well maintained and made the trek up hills very easy, good for any level of rider. The scenic route was great for pictures. Very leisurely pace and great wine tastings at the end.

Bike tour - What a beautiful way to see the Santa Ynez Valley! William was a wonderful guide, giving us information about the area along the way. We upgraded to e-bikes, they were awesome after hiking in the Channel Islands for 3 days! We loved getting fresh air and being out doors rather than having a driving tour. Stopped in Solvang, such a cute place. The olive oil and wine tastings were great. Bought our favorites at each. Highly recommend!

Great biking day in the Valley - We had the most delightful e bike tour in the SY valley. William was a terrific guide and host. Planning was easy and he always responded quickly to our questions during booking. He was prompt and offered insights about the area. The bike route was gorgeous and we stopped at many fabulous viewing spots. The e-bikes were so much fun. William then prepared a yummy lunch picnic style at a vineyard. We did have 2 wine samplings and the locations were both special. This is great to do with your friends or family. We hope to do it again in the future.

Girls trip - We had a wonderful ride, beautiful views, delicious lunch. The e-bikes make the ride doable for a group that doesn’t ride much. Definitely recommend!

Wet and wonderful wine tour - William was a fantastically gracious host, even on a wet and rather damp day in Santa Ynez. The care and effort put in by William more than compensated for not being able to get on the bikes due to poor weather. In fairness, it probably did my wife and I a favour whilst enjoying the wine tasting. Thank you William, perhaps one day we'll return for the bike ride!

Excellent experience! - We had a blast with William. The bikes were easy to get used to. We lived zipping along the back roads in wine country. William planned fun stops and made a fantastic lunch for us to enjoy. It was really the highlight of our trip!
