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.

They literally cancelled on us the night before we were due to go on the tour and still waiting for my refund...!!!!! Not good enough.

Our driver Jacob was absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable and professional. He was a great driver and very safe when driving us on our tour.

This was a very unique and enjoyable way to visit a couple of wineries. Everyone smiles and waves at you as you go by- great vibe.

What a waste of a company! I received a confirmation the day before our outing but the next day no one showed up at the pick up location. While waiting for them to show up I called their number and no one answered. I sent 2 emails and today 2 days after the failed event they have not responded and I see that they have accepted payment from my credit card. I’m disputing the charge of 330. Don’t trust this company- they should have at least let us know they couldn’t honor our appt. In addition, another couple was waiting at the pick up location- their appt was 30 mins before ours. They waited an hour and then left since no one showed for them or us.

I booked this experience very far in advanced and on the day no one showed up. We tried contacting them multiple times and no one answered. We never got to experience it. Be aware of this!

We showed up at 3:45…. Waited for the sidecars to show up. They came at 4:10… they told us they never start their tours at 4pm, that the company we purchased thrift doesn’t exist, and we got screwed and scammed. I called and reported, still haven’t heard back. I planned our entire evening around this adventure and we were told it was a hoax. The bike drivers said they are outta inland empire and came here only for a special bachelor party and usually don’t show up here, random coincidence. I called the owner of the sidecar company kept going to voicemail, then it said it was after hours… my wife and I ended going back to our hotel as by the time we got this all figured out everything was closed. I am so beyond disappointed and frustrated…. I’m about to go online and make everyone never use Viator and sidecar tours or whatever the hell this is…. You’re truly

Amazing experience. We loved the 2 wineries, our driver, Fred was great, the whole experience was so fun. It’s a great way to see Santa Barbara if you haven’t been up in the hills. There are phenomenal views of the hills out to the ocean. It is a bit fast coming down the hill I must say and we felt a bit rushed at the second winery. The last winery (where you start) wasn’t included so we only had two wineries. I would recommend figuring this part out ahead of time, as the ad implies three wineries, we are asking for a refund. With all that said, I would do this experience again in a heartbeat. it was such a fun way to see Santa Barbara and get driven around after a few wine tastings.

This was a very fun tour and our driver/guide was amazing and so friendly. The Carr wine was amazing and so friendly, even showing us the grapes fermenting. Amazing!

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!
