There is no better way to sightsee than by foot. Santa Barbara's historic architecture plays into the identity and character of the city.

Think that red tiled roofs, whitewashed buildings and Spanish-Moorish accents are Santa Barbara's only signature style? This guided tour explores off-the-beaten-path architectural gems that you shouldn't miss.
