Santa Barbara Architecture Private Tour

The tour will meet at Santa Barbara Amtrak Station in Santa Barbara at the scheduled time.

This city is located between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean on the southern side of the Californian coastline. The climate of Santa Barbara is typically described as the Mediterranean, and the city has been dubbed the "American Riviera" because of its resemblance to the French Riviera.

White stucco structures, red-tile clay roofs, and Spanish street names all bear witness to the city's Spanish heritage.

What’s more, the Santa Barbara County Courthouse and the 18th-century Old Mission, both of which are part of this tour, seem to have been transported directly from Spain.

Next, we’ll move on to the Royal Presidio of Santa Barbara, a former military stronghold also known as the El Presidio Real de Santa Barbara, commissioned by Spain in 1782.

Lastly, after three hours of exploring the city in search of its finest architecture, we’ll end the tour at Independence Hall.
