Along the way, your guide shares local history, colorful stories about the people connected to the city, and recommendations for favorite restaurants and tucked-away ice cream shops. The tour includes a bicycle, helmet, bottled water, and sunscreen; riding between points of interest takes about 1.5 hours.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 115 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Santa Barbara
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.2. Top 3% in Santa Barbara means it ranks in the top 3% of tours in Santa Barbara by this score.
