Things to do in Santa Barbara

With a dramatic setting on the Pacific coast, nestled between mountains and ocean, this mid-sized Californian city will delight architecture enthusiasts, culture vultures, wine aficionados and beach bums alike. Close enough to Los Angeles for a day trip, yet far enough to retain a distinct identity, Santa Barbara's residents know just how lucky they are, and are happy to welcome visitors. Take a Santa Barbara private tour and explore this Californian city with a local guide. The city courthouse is easy to spot, with its terracotta tiled-roof and Spanish motif. Follow your guide inside to see the historical murals, then climb the tower for panoramic views. Peek inside the Granada and Arlington theatres, then drive along the famed Riviera before finishing at the Mission. Built in 1876, it was destroyed by an earthquake 26 years later, and rebuilt in the Spanish Colonial style. When night falls, have your guide recommend a restaurant where you can eat and drink under Californian stars
