Review as a Private Pilot landing in Santa Barbara Airport…read more This is my second time flying into Santa Barbara and is always a delight flying into this airport. VFR pilots plan accordingly though, as KSBA is just right off the coast and can be socked in. Fortunately, the marine layer was just off the airport and I was able to land at 15R. Santa Barbara airport have commercial service. Taxiing around the airport along with airliners is always a treat. KSBA ATC has always been helpful to private pilots, especially those like me who aren't very familiar with the taxiways. Great city to fly in and visit and equally great airport to facilitate the getaway.

The last leg of our trip brought us to Santa Barbara Airport. I had not been in the area for years…read moreand had never flown through this airport, even though I grew up in the area. When I tell you this airport is small, I mean SMALL! It is also extremely easy to navigate. You definitely do not need the same amount of time to get through this airport as you would at a larger one. TSA is only one floor up, and we got through security very quickly. Based on our experience, you could probably arrive about an hour before your flight and still get through without a problem. Of course, I would still follow your airline's recommended arrival time just to be safe. Getting out of the airport is just as easy. You only have to go down one floor, and once you walk outside, everything is conveniently located right there. The Uber pickup area is directly across the street, along with taxis and bus transportation. You do not have to walk a long distance or search around trying to figure out where to go. The beauty of flying through a smaller airport is how quick and convenient everything is. The disadvantage is that there are fewer flights, and they seem to stop fairly early. There are also not many restaurants or shops once you get through security. My main complaint is the seating. The seats looked very old and sat extremely low. They definitely need to upgrade them. I do not remember seeing charging ports near the seats, although I cannot say for certain that there were none. The gate areas are also very small. When several flights are boarding around the same time, the crowds and lines can spill over into the neighboring gates. That can become confusing because you cannot always tell which passengers are standing in which boarding line or even which gate they are waiting for. Everyone we encountered was helpful, and the overall process was still a breeze. For some flights, you do have to walk outside across the tarmac to board the plane. The weather was beautiful while we were there, but I can only imagine that walk being a little inconvenient during bad weather. If you need to travel to the Santa Barbara area, I think it is worth paying a little more to fly directly into this airport. To me, it does not make sense to fly into LAX just to save a little money and then have to drive all the way up while sitting in that LA traffic. Who wants to do that after getting off a flight? Overall, Santa Barbara Airport was small, convenient, and easy to navigate. The seats and gate areas could use some improvements, but it was still one of the quickest airport

At the time of this review, the Goleta Amtrak Station is just a couple of covered benches on an…read moreoutdoor platform. Seriously, nothing more. However, currently under construction and almost completed is a large indoor station. I completely forgot to take a picture of the new station under construction. I'm guessing it's about 95% complete and it looks great. I love all of the new trees planted on the property. This will be a great addition for the City of Goleta as this station is usually the last stop for trains that don't continue up North. Even though the vast majority of riders disembark in Santa Barbara, Goleta is the final destination on several routes. This new station will be a great upgrade for passengers.

My kid said the experience was just OK--not the greatest, but definitely worth a try. We had…read morealready seen some of the main attractions, so we decided to take a tour to dive deeper into the city's history. We spent the day wandering around, soaking in the sights, chatting with locals, and even visiting a charming little art and nature museum. However, I found the tour to be a bit lacking in substance. Much of the information was vague, leaving us with unanswered questions. There was even a development featuring some unique houses that piqued our curiosity. My family and another family on the tour tried asking the guide about it, but we didn't get any answers. When we passed the museum, the guide briefly mentioned the famous troll but skimmed over some intriguing details, like the fact that it was crafted by a Danish artist using reclaimed wood--except for its imported head direct from Denmark. We learned those fascinating tidbits almost immediately upon entering the museum earlier. (The whole point of this town is that it's a Danish settlement.) There were other aspects that fell short, too. The website implied that we would have a chance to go inside the museum during the tour, but since we took a later trolley ride, the museum was unfortunately closed by the time we arrived. I really wish they had made it clearer that we wouldn't be able to visit. My biggest complaint, though, is the price. At $34, it felt like a steep investment for what we received. I believe if the ticket had been around $10, it might have felt more worth it. As it stands, we walked away feeling a bit disappointed and like we didn't quite get our money's worth. They also will let you know at the end. If you would like to give her gratuity, that you can.

I called up Santa Barbara County limo and talked to one of their great staff members, since we don't live in Santa Barbara I found out all the hot spots from Zeke the reservationist. He gave me some wonderful suggestions for restaurants and places to go around the city. I rented the Hummer limousine because I really wanted to surprise my guy. Plus they had some special weekday rates, so I couldn't refuse. The driver, Mark showed up on time and was really personable, professional and attentive. He opened our special bottle of wine before we left the hotel and made sure we had all we needed. We had a blast for the few hours while were out and especially enjoyed the stop by the Pier! Great suggestions from our driver Mark as well!! He really knows the area. Over all I was very impressed with all of the people I worked with through Santa Barbara County limo. I've worked with a lot of people in the customer service industry and this company is really Top Notch! I would highly recommend this limousine service to anyone looking for a company that goes Above-and-beyond to cater to their clients. I will definitely rent with them again. Thank you Zeke and Mark!! We loved it.

Let me start out with, I'm a very picky person! I was planning on a vacation for my parents and…read morethey happen to be very picky people too... Imagine that! So, when I called Ecom Travel, I knew that my multiple calls and emails to her were not going to be fun for her. However, every call to her, and every reply to my emails was always pleasant and professional. I was referred to Lilan Smyth, by multiple different groups of friends. I posted a question on Facebook, I anyone knew a good travel agent... and out of all my family and friends, I was recommended to Ecom Travel. When 5 out of 500+ friends refer you to Lilan Smyth from "Ecom Travel"... then I knew I had to contact Ecom Travel! As I had mentioned earlier, having picky parents, and having them change their mind over and over again was becoming very frustrating for me. Can you imagine the journey I had to put Lilan through? As soon as Lilan found something which I thought was perfect, I would present it to my parents, they would change their mind about something else. I would call Lilan again, and without hesitation, she would look exactly what we would ask for. She also made great suggestions during the process. Overall, I'm very impressed with Lilan, and happy I chose to go with Ecom Travel. They are your 5 star travel agency. I highly recommend her to everyone. Lilan, thank you for making this very frustrating "trip planning" so much fun and easy. You're the best!!!
