About Your Tour Guide
Joseph Soltis
Owner & Guide
Joseph is a gifted storyteller, foodie, oenophile and history buff who is passionate about living “La Dolce Vita.” Joseph fell in love with California when he planned a 21-day road trip with his family. At the heart of this experience was the beautiful coastal town of Santa Barbara, prompting a 2-week comprehensive exploration of Santa Barbara and surrounding area the following year. He squeezed every bit of fun and adventure into those itineraries and now gets to do the same with others who love Santa Barbara as much as he does.
