My wife and I wanted to do something different and fun for our wedding anniversary, and booking a…read moreride with Sunburst Railbikes turned out to be one of the best decisions we've made. We chose the 1 PM time slot, which is a 2-hour scheduled ride that includes two stops--one in Fillmore and another at Prancer's Farm on the way back. The ride was full with 16 guests, and the guides did a great job leading from both the front and back, making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. Check-in was quick and easy, and they even provided complimentary popcorn and water, which was a nice touch before getting started. The ride itself was an absolute blast and definitely a solid workout--very similar to cycling, covering just under 10 miles round trip. The carts are super easy to use, with clear instructions from the guides. Each cart comes equipped with a front storage rack, cup holders, a hand brake (which you'll appreciate on the downhill!), an odometer, and a switch to toggle between manual and automatic. The assist mode really comes in handy on the uphill stretch heading toward Fillmore, while the ride back is a smooth and enjoyable downhill cruise. The weather couldn't have been better, and the scenery was incredible. Along the way, we took in beautiful views of avocado and lemon groves, cactus fields, and plenty of wildlife--squirrels, lizards, and even bees hard at work pollinating. It made the whole experience feel peaceful and immersive. On the way back, we stopped for about 20-30 minutes at Prancer's Farm, where we got to see a variety of animals including goats, pigs, bulls, and sheep. There's also a petting zoo option if you purchase tickets. The farm had a fun seasonal setup for Easter, along with a shop where you can buy fresh fruit, beef jerky, and other local goods. Overall, this was one of the most fun and unique experiences we've had. If you enjoy the outdoors, want a bit of adventure, and don't mind getting in a great workout, I highly recommend giving Sunburst Railbikes a try. Hopefully my photos--and this review--help you decide to book your own ride!

They…read moregave general instructions of use but I perfected the pedaling and driving (option via a little throttle lever) in the first few minutes. Riding over a moving rattlesnake in between the tracks was a startling surprise! I lived to tell the tale there! The first stop at the end of the route before turning the railbikes back was ok, but I feel there could be some kinda stalls or local art on display during the 15 minute break. Surely some vendors could set up something? The next stop going back was at Prancers Farm which was ok for some local produce. Having said that, a fruit smoothie or ice cream made locally would be a nice touch? I went to go look at the animals but didn't wanna pay $7 each person to do so. After this 30 min stop we went back to the depot. I experienced this adventure in early spring on a day which was maybe high 70s. I'm not so sure I would enjoy this in Summer.

Always a highlight of our springtime activities. We've been supporters of this fundraising event…read morefor many, many years. This year we took a friend with us who hadn't experienced this event before. She was amazed at how well we knew our way around the various neighborhoods where five gardens were featured. One reason for that is having been on the tour so many times. Even with that said, there were several homes in areas that were a fresh surprise to us. Camarillo not only has an amazing climate, but also areas where lots were sold initially with plenty of elbow room. We toured several gardens this year sitting on an acre or more of land. The homeowners have done a beautiful job of filling those spaces with many landscaping delights. There was one more modestly sized yard at one location. That was absolutely charming in how they used the space, including a waterfall cascading into their swimming pool and a wonderful seating area to one side that captured a relaxing tropical vibe. We sat there for a time listening to the rushing water, and also to the musician who was providing entertainment for the that home. Delightful! Another home on large lot had extensive food plantings - veggies and fruit trees. They were arrayed in such a way that it was practical, but also visually beautiful. Several large artichoke plants were especially striking. Their outdoor table was set with decorations crafted from the vegetable garden. So clever. All in all, it's a wonderful way to spend an afternoon to be inspired by homeowners with not only green thumbs, but a sense of joy in embracing their precious garden spaces. The usage of succulents and other waterwise plantings is encouraged, and there are great examples of that style of gardening to embrace.

Contacted Cat to set up a private wine tour for my girlfriends birthday and the ease of the process…read morewas amazing. We talked through email and she kept me updated and informed consistently. The price is very affordable for what you get. A visit to 3 local wineries with the flight sampling package of that winery and a driver/guide through the city and local wine scene. Our guide Riley did an amazing job. He met us promptly and the pick up car was nice and comfortable. Riley as he drove us to our wineries commented on local culture and history and made everything feel personable and comfortable. We went to our first winery and you get to choose you're lunch destination before hand so after our first sampling Riley dropped us off and picked us up after for that which is awesome. We visited 2 more wineries after and Riley did a get job bringing us in and getting us settled taking pictures for us and then still giving us the private time to interact with each other. This is a great service for these type of occasions. It was easy to set up and took a load of stress from planning and driving off me. Being able to relax and be driven, cruise the mountains and beaches, sip some good wine, have lunch and enjoy a sunny California day. Worth every penny. Super satisfied.

I wish I had read some of the negative reviews before contracting Cat for a very important event…read morefor my employer, because they were spot on. We used her once before and it was suitable, but never again. She was borderline flaky in correspondence from the very beginning but assured me she was on top of things and everything will be delivered as expected in retrospect I wished I had trusted my gut because working with her was not only a disaster but an extremely unpleasant experience. -I had asked her for a quote daily, for four days, to which she said she will get to me but "not to worry it will be very reasonable". She finally provided us one four days before our event and I nearly fell over when I saw she was charging us $200/person....mind you this did not include any kind of food, this was just for wine and location. You would think at this cost, someone would be holding the wine glass to your lips. -When I asked her for an itemized bill as to how she got to this number she literally said that providing me with an itemized bill was "not worth her time" because she is so busy doing weddings. -Because she had given us the quote and contract so close to the date i couldn't change the locations and and was able to get her to go down to $180/person. -I got to the location 45 min beforehand and she had yet to arrive and nothing was yet setup. I actually had to roll up my sleeves and move tables to make sure that the venue was setup by the time guests started to arrive. -She had promised us a private event and alerted me upon arrival (15min prior to the start of the event) that she couldn't secure the private location as promised. -When I asked her how long she's known we wouldn't get the private event we were promised she said she was just alerted to it within the hour, which I found hard to believe, and a couple of her own staff pulled me aside later to confirm that she was in fact not telling me the truth about that. -She had guaranteed me several times that our event would be first class all the way (after all we were paying $180/person), and she showed up with rolling coolers that didn't even contain all the non-alcoholic beverages we had ordered. After it was clear she had not delivered on what was initially agreed on I told her we need to renegotiate her already bloated rate to which she became unhinged and even went as far as to threaten legal action against me (to which I laughed and of course nothing has come out of it). In short working with her was nothing short of a nightmare. And really the worst of it was how extremely unprofessional I found her to be. We've since hired other vendors in the area for events and I recommend you consider any of them as I wished I had done in the first place.

Reflecting on the trip I truly can not pick a favorite day because they were all so unique and amazing. This was the perfect way for me and my friends to explore Europe for the first time. Buzz has been giving tours through Europe for 25+ years and it is evident in all the information he knows and how he can navigate 250+ students through Europe. It is so fun to walk through cities from Switzerland to Italy, where locals will stick their heads out of windows and will welcome the Buzz group to their towns because of the close connections Buzz has formed all throughout. I could not recommend this trip more. This trip prepares young adults to be independent and get ready for college! You make so many friends along the way.
