I love my hometown of Santa Barbara, and I love sharing it with newcomers and locals alike. I offer friendly, fun, informative tours. From hiking in the mountains to biking or driving along beaches to exploring museums or historical buildings, your time in Santa Barbara will be both memorable and educational. The kids will love the Maritime Museum, the Zoo, or the Sea Center on the wharf. I enjoy working with children, the public in general, and with those who are limited English speakers. I hold a multiple subject teaching credential and have worked with elementary aged students for the past 25 years. I also hold a TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) Certificate, a LMT (Library Media Teacher) credential and have been trained to be a Massage Therapist. In addition, I am CPR/First Aid trained. I took a 30 hour course to be a docent at our local Courthouse and am a member at both the SB Maritime Museum and SB Historical Museum where I attend frequent lectures on local history. I am licensed to provide transportation in the State of California. TCP #22256. Pets ok but no smoking

Overview of your Santa Barbara tour
Come see the gorgeous Santa Ynez Valley that you've heard so much about! I have been giving tours of this AVA (American Viticultural Area) for 10 years and know many of it's hidden treasures beyond the wineries. There are seven AVAs within this area because of the range of temperature from the California central coast to the inland valley. Vintners have been growing grapes here since the late 1960s, and now there are over 200 wineries. The movie "Sideways", a dark comedy which was released in 2004 starring Paul Giamotti and Thomas Hayden Church brought attention to the area and helped put the Santa Ynez Valley on the map as a top California wine growing destination.
