We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual.
We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in.
Santa Barbara is and has been a fun location to vacation in. The costs are high but there are extensive options for hotels and restaurants of all sorts. The scenery and beaches are top notch.

Everything there was beautiful and wonderful to see, all the shops were fantastic. The food was great everything was so close together ,you didn't need a car you just walk around. We all had a fantastic time! It was amazing. I definitely want to go back as soon as I can I wish I could live there.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it.
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it. A walk on the pier is a must. Free 90minute parking but walk instead. The Spanish-style architecture gives the city a unique charm. With the mountains as a background, the ocean spreads out to the west. This is a city to chill and stroll in. Most of restaurants are located on State Street, which was closed off to vehicles and was more like a pedestrian Mall on Sunday night. Not sure if it's closed for foot traffic every night. Do be aware of bikes-etc. on State Street though.Guest review byDennisUnited States
