| Get away for the day to Santa Barbara, the popular beach city known as “America’s Riviera.” We’ll enjoy time at leisure in downtown Santa Barbara, offering palm-lined thoroughfares, charming shops, tantalizing eateries, and beautiful buildings. The State Street Promenade is a newly created pedestrian mall where multiple blocks of State Street are closed to vehicle traffic allowing restaurants and other businesses to expand onto sidewalks and into Santa Barbara’s main boulevard, infusing a sense of energy and vitality. Paseo Nuevo is Santa Barbara’s Mediterranean-style, outdoor shopping center that features a variety of name brand stores. This afternoon we’ll board an historic trolley tour for a 90-minute, narrated driving tour of this sophisticated beach town and all that makes it so famous. The trolley conductor will share stories and historical anecdotes as we drive past sights like Stearns Wharf, Butterfly Beach, the beautiful Mission Santa Barbara, and the elegant County Courthouse, just to name a few! This memorable day features two included mystery sweet treats from two local favorites – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. |
