Hello and welcome. I’m Jennifer, an ITMI certified tour guide with a deep love for Santa Barbara and decades of experience helping people feel welcomed, informed and connected. I love sharing my town and our local culture by offering engaging, fun and interesting tours. I started as a UC Santa Barbara admissions department campus tour guide and I've been in hospitality ever since. I often call my tours 'Tid-Bit Tours' as I share lots of nuggets about Santa Barbara that are fun and informative yet not overwhelming. Think of it as Rent-a-Local! I look forward to spending the day with you and sharing my Santa Barbara. I also partner with many local DMCs and transportation companies ensuring seamless logistics. Whether you're visiting by cruise ship or planning a private getaway, I’m excited to show you around this coastal gem that I call home with stories, sights and smiles along the way!

A TidBit Tour of Santa Barbara-includes Wine and Chocolate Tasting (option of beer instead of wine)
Overview of your Santa Barbara tour
Discover the best of Santa Barbara on a private driving tour with a local guide so you can get a lay of the land and a feel for the city. We'll visit iconic sites like Stearns Wharf, the historic Mission, and the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. Along the way, you'll experience the buzz of State Street and the creative energy of the Funk Zone. We'll stop for a wine tasting at a working winery — or a local brewery if you prefer hops over grapes. A sweet visit to a chocolate factory with samples is also included. We'll wrap it all up with a casual lunch at a local favorite. I’ll share personal stories and local insights that bring each stop to life. This tour is all about great views, great flavors, and a deeper connection to Santa Barbara.
