      Scam Alert!!!
      What a great business model. Take money for reservations, cancel, then never refund. Seems like it would have been fun, but CANNOT trust these people!!

    The tour guide was a person by name of Mike, very enjoyable to be around .
    The tour did not actually include any vineyards .We visited 3 wine bars and had a scenic ride up into the hills over looking the City of Santa Barbara .
    When you go on their web site you get the impression that your going to visit Vineyards so it’s a little deceiving but still very enjoyable.
    Thanks

    Our guide (Robert) was fantastic and really knew the city. The tour only goes to two locations and the second one was packed and noisy.
    Tooling around in a sidecar around Santa Barbra in a sidecar though is a lot of fun. Be aware though that this is historical tour of the city with stops at two wine bars … not wineries. Worth doing though
    Great ride and guide but not enough wine

    What a great and unique experience. Wanted to do a short little wine tour and get a little tour of the city as well for us. Fred was an excellent driver and tour guide for us. Stopped at some little wineries and in between got a nice ride through the city and the hillsides to see beautiful views and neighborhood. Definitely recommend this experience.

    This tour was top notch! Amazing experience overall and would recommend to anyone! Robert and Travis were the best! They were hilarious and knowledgeable about the town. Riding in a side car on a motorcycle through the city was beautiful and a total blast! They showed us some hidden gems and beautiful locations. Wine was amazing at Jamie sloans! Had to buy some! Would do again and recommend to everyone. 10/10!!!

    Our guide Robert was amazing- he grew up in the area and gave a great history of Santa Barbara. The first stop was a great winery; we got attention and a good history of wine. The second location was pretty bad and we were ignored, skipped wines, and were not great. But the actual tour was perfect!

    The company canceled on us a little over an hour before our scheduled tour. When we stopped by the provided address, we were told that the company cancels frequently. Macie texted me to let me know about the cancellation and inquired as to whether I would want to reschedule or get a refund. Because we were leaving the area the next day, I asked for a refund. It has been 5 days and no refund. The company does not respond to my texts asking about the refund. Unless you want to be out $330, do not do business with this company!

    I've used TripAdvisor many times for many years, in different cities, and I haven't been disappointed (until now) with TripAdvisor. Let's begin..
    I was planning a Mother's Day event on May 12, 2024, in Santa Barbara for two wonderful mothers. I was searching TripAdvisor (as I do for all of my trips), and I saw that they offered a Sidecar winery tour. I had used TripAdvisor for a Sidecar ride in Napa Valley. It was fantastic. No issues. While reading the reviews about Sidecar in Santa Barbara, it was a 50/50 positive/negative reviews. Due to limited activities in Santa Barbara on a Sunday, I decided that I would take a chance, and hopefully, I would be able to give a good review.
    Boy, was I wrong ! Unfortunately, I have to agree with the negative reviews. Here's my experience with Santa Barbara Sidecar. The day before the schedule ride, I received a text message from Sidecar company. I thought that it was for confirmation. I was so wrong. I text basically ,said that they had drivers call out sick, so they didn't have enough drivers to accommodate my 12:00 appointment. They wanted to know what, day, and time would I like to reschedule. I told them that I was only in town for one day. Please refund my money. I haven't received any refund, nor did they respond to my text. TripAdvisor should have dropped this Santa Barbara Sidecar company from their website a long time ago due to many negative reviews. Now , I have to figure out how to get my $300 + dollars back. Don't take a chance like I did if you don't want to get scammed by Santa Barbara Sidecar company. Believe the negative reviews.
