PICKUP POINTIn architectural terms, you will get much pleasure from a journey through the most Spanish city of Central California. Besides this, a tour of Santa Barbara and Solvang, the most Danish village in the region, is an opportunity to taste some genuine Californian wines!
Your journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle. “The American Riviera,” as Santa Barbara is frequently called, will greet you with unparalleled views of the ocean and the mountains. You will walk through the charming main street and then see the historical heart of the city – the Spanish-Franciscan mission, built in 1812. Our next stop will be at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, famous for its fantastic observation deck, where you will enjoy the best views in town. Then our journey will lead us to the famous “Stearns” pier, which is over 130 years old. You can try some of the freshest seafood there.
The next place we’ll visit is often referred to as “Little Denmark,” a small town with a population of about 5,000 people. It’s called the “Danish village” for a good reason: it offers several classic pastry shops, restaurants, and stores selling clothing and Danish souvenirs. Even the buildings in Downtown Solvang are built in the European style. So you will have time to walk through the beautiful little streets and feel the real spirit of Denmark without leaving the US.
The final point of the trip will make you relax and unwind. The tour guide will bring you to the most picturesque vineyards of the Santa Ynez Valley. It will be a perfect ending to a great day – sipping wine and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

What a great way to explore both cities and taste some genuine California wine! Simon was our tour guide-driver, and he was so kind and knowledgeable about the history of Santa Barbara, Solvang and Santa Ynez region. We felt really comfortable in his Cadillac SUV which was spotless clean and smelled so good. We were also lucky to have beautiful weather to do this tour. Would definitely pass this on to friends and family.

My husband and I wanted a private customized guided experience through SB, Solvang and the Santa Ynez Valley wine country, and this tour did not disappoint. We enjoyed the entire trip while being expertly chauffeured in a luxury vehicle and thoughtfully guided by Daniel, who was at once knowledgeable, professional, and wonderfully friendly. We had a beautiful, relaxing trip and can’t wait to go again.
