    This experience was such an awesome way to see Santa Barbara. We would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting the area or if you just want a fun day around town. Can’t wait to come back to visit and use SB Buggie again!

    The man who runs the place is hysterical! I wish he was my brother. The buggies were clean and easy to maneuver. Plus, it was a great way to explore Santa Barbara. I’ll be back.

    Great times! Truly amazing and unforgettable way to experience Santa Barbara. The sight of a dozen Mario Kart themed buggies blasting thru downtown and down the coast was a spectacle to see I'm quite sure. What a blast. we were smiling and waving to all the people along the route who in kind, were filming us and waving back. Even the hardest of people could not help but to at the least crack a smile! All this while having the time of your life flying through the cool air of the American Riviera! The owner Mike was friendly and genuinely interested in whether we had a great time or not and even lead out group Thanks to all our yelp friends who made it out and Thanks to Mike and SB Buggies! If you come to Santa Barbara and don't try this you missed out...

    SB Buggie team especially Kenny provided us with a great Buggie experience. The staff went over the instructions, in a clear and precise manner. They showed us where we could and could not go and provided us with an awesome buggies that we enjoyed driving around town for two hours. These little buggies can go fast up to 50mph and even go up hills!! We had a great experience and everywhere you drove people would smile, wave, and take pictures of you driving around town in these fun little mobiles. I would do this again in a heartbeat!

    Vehicles are not maintained well. The one I rented had a completely bald rear tire and the brakes were lacking.

    We've lived in SB for years, but we still had a blast taking the buggies out and driving up and down the Mesa. It's a fun adventure for a Saturday afternoon, and then when you're done, you're right in the funkzone for a beer 🍻

    Amazing experience! Well worth the money. The perfect way to get to see all of Santa Barbara. You may feel silly riding these, but the second we got in, we had no regrets. 100% recommend. The location is a bit sketchy. It’s basically a tent on the side of the road which made us nervous. But it clearly didn’t impact our experience. Do it! So worth it!

    SB Buggie is absolutely incredible! I rented all 11 of their buggies for a private party and we had a blast! Mike, one of the owners, and his faithful pup (adorable) led us in a massive caravan through all of the best sights in SB. We were like our own parade and folks around town loved. Our group dressed up in Mario Kart themed costumes complete with balloons (lives) tied to the back of our buggies. People loved the theme. I haven't smiled non-stop for two consecutive hours like I did riding with SB Buggie. It's safe and feels adventurous. The wind running through your hair is exhilarating! Definitely an adrenaline rush! Having rode the Land Shark and the SB Trolley Car, I can easily attest that SB Buggie is hands down the BEST way to explore Santa Barbara! And don't just think this is a tourist activity because my entire party was made up of locals and native Santa Barbarans and everyone LOVED it! Thank you for a great ride SB Buggie!

    We were visiting from out of town and were eager to participate in this activity because the webpage looked good. I'm giving this a 3.5/5 because we experienced a couple difficulties on our outing. We were instructed to start our buggies during instruction, but the engines were so loud that it was difficult to hear the person explaining to us the rules and how to use the buggies. When we first started, everything seemed fine; my husband stated that as he tried to speed up, he could sense something was wrong, but we didn't believe it would be a problem because we were still practicing on small roads. We intend to follow their tourist map, which they recommended, which will take about an hour at full pace. As we exited the small streets, and began to make our way towards Garden Street, we became aware that the buggy we were riding in did not seem right. We hardly exceeded 10 mph, and as we descended, it continued tugging us to the right. We didn't feel safe, so we returned within 20 minutes and informed them of the problem. We even switched drivers to ensure we weren't going insane. Our friend who tried our buggy stated that something was wrong and that it did not feel the same as it did with his; he even sped up and was terrified. As we returned all buggies, the person who was there was understanding and kind; he offered a small refund and only charged us for one hour (we paid for two hours); we advised him that it didn't feel safe and that something was wrong with one of the vehicles; he advised that he just updated the suspension on the car, but didn't seem to want to test ride it himself to see if there was truly an issue - pretty sure it wasn't a suspension issue. Aside from that, if the buggy didn’t feel sketchy, this would have been a fairly enjoyable experience.
