This popular rail adventure to Santa Barbara begins aboard our deluxe motorcoach as we travel from our departure points to downtown Los Angeles’ historic Union Station where we’ll board Amtrak’s Coast Starlight Enjoy a relaxing, 3-hour train ride in your reclining seat or check out the view from the observation car featuring windows that stretch up to the ceiling offering unparalleled and expansive views. Once we pass Oxnard we’ll travel along California’s spectacular coastline with unrivaled views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. We’ll enjoy an included boxed lunch onboard along with a snack bar selling snacks and drinks. After disembarking in Santa Barbara this afternoon, we’ll reboard our motorcoach and travel the short distance to the Reagan Ranch Center to learn about Rancho del Cielo, the Reagans’ historic ranch located in the Santa Ynez Mountains north of Santa Barbara. Coined “The Western White House,” Rancho del Cielo served as a retreat for the Reagans while in office and post Presidency but is not open to the public. See a 20-minute introductory film and then enjoy a docent-guided tour of this museum that features several unique collections including campaign memorabilia, commemorative items and letters written by Ronald Reagan over a 50-year period. See a massive 5,000-pound section of the Berlin Wall and President Reagan’s jeep that he used on the ranch. The centerpiece of the gallery is a 28-foot-long “timeline” that allows you to interact with the history of the Ranch and the events that took place during the Reagan presidency. We will motorcoach home. This tour visits the Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara and does not visit the Reagan’s ranch, Rancho del Cielo, which is not open to the public. Each guest should bring a driver’s license or other government-issued photo identification to present to Amtrak on the day of the tour if requested. While a rare occurrence, should the Coast Starlight train be severely delayed or canceled by Amtrak, an Amtrak Surfliner train will be substituted, or each guest will be refunded the train portion.
To ensure a healthy and enjoyable travel experience for our guests, this tour will operate with additional health & wellness measures in place.
