Reviews: Santa Barbara: Electric Bike City Tour
Guest User2025-04-26
It was amazing! We booked a group tour, but ended up having a private tour with Bryce. He is a Santa Barbara native, and took us up in the Montecito Hills. We have seen plenty of the waterfront, Funk Zone and State Street. We wanted to go off the beaten path. The Ebikes were top of the line and so was Bryce!!

Mike was a super star. It was torrential rain and he still took us around, showing us the sights and best bits of Santa Barbara. He is a local so we got to see so much that no one else would know or notice! Including his family home! We really enjoyed it and highly recommend
Reviews: Bagamoyo Historical Tour - Everyday
Guest User2026-01-21
Fantastic Dove trip yesterday to Bagamoyo. The guidebooks don’t do justice to the town’s history, beauty or atmosphere: the Kaole ruins date back to the 13th century but the area feels like a much more ancient settlement, while the busy fishing beach and cargo port is a mixture of modern and traditional and the Roman Catholic Mission is beautifully tranquil: if you’re lucky you may hear a choir practicing in the church grounds, as we did. The buildings associated with Zanzibar and Tanzania’s slaving history are haunting, though for what should be monuments of international importance, quite shockingly badly maintained in some cases. Guide Sadik is equally at ease introducing an attraction or leaving you to explore places and features on your own, and is happy to answer all questions: if you are interested in something specific he’ll be happy to angle your tour toward this. There’s also a delicious lunch, the odd shopping opportunity and a comfortable drive there and back courtesy of Derick (despite the hair-raising evening traffic in Mbezi beach and Mikocheni – some of the antics there break records, even for Dar!)
We’ve been on several Dove expeditions before and always found them engrossing – the crew really pay attention to the details that bring Tanzania alive for visitors, not always easy around Dar es Salaam, where folk are accustomed to tourists having a cursory look before making for the safari parks. However, these tours really get under the surface of the area. Thanks again, all.
