Select our free (tip-based) public walking tours or optional fee-based private tours given at a time convenient for you. Our flagship Waterfront Tour (105 minutes) is ideal for those wanting a broader understanding of Santa Barbara's rich history. The eclectic Funk Zone Tour (90 minutes) explores the nooks and crannies of Santa Barbara's former warehouse district now home to wine tasting rooms and restaurants. Finally, the architecturally-laden Old Town tour (120 minutes) covers our lower downtown area, how Santa Barbara adopted the Spanish-Colonial style of architecture, the Brinkerhoff Victorian District and three of Jeff Shelton's architectural masterpieces. (During weekday Old Town tours, we frequently stop at Shelton's studio!) 11 x 17 old photos compliment all tours and help place you back in time. At the end of every tour, guests can choose from several "2 for 1" tasting vouchers at nearby businesses.
