Worst tour ever
The starting location was wrong. No one to help get us on track. It cost 40 dollars and no tour. Tried reaching out no one got back to me. Will never book like this again
Response from the operator: Hi Lisa, thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so sorry to hear that the starting location information caused confusion and that you weren’t able to get the support you needed—that’s not the experience we want for our guests. I understand how disappointing it must have been to spend money and not be able to enjoy the tour. We specialize in audio app–guided tours, which allow travelers to explore at their own pace. The tour should have started smoothly with the directions provided, so if you could kindly message us with the specific issues you encountered, our team will address them immediately and make sure this doesn’t happen again.

The pintours app is terrible
The app is very clunky. It started and stopped, then would put things in a different order. I tried to go through a browser and it wouldn't log me in. Listening to the information,,.the directions would interrupt them and thenaybe their info would continue.

Kind of not exciting…
Some background information about Solvang but nothing really exciting. Not the narrator’s fault, just what is there.
via Viator
We found for us it took longer to get to the places before lecture started again.
We liked the lecture but we wanted to spend more time at some of the places and had a hard time stopping the tour so we could spend the extra time. I finally had to stop the tour after about three stops.

5 Star Danish Immersion Cultural Experience!
Wow! Solvang was an amazing surprise getaway and a destination I never knew I would love, love love. This 220 year old authentic Danish town, 30 min northeast of Santa Barbara, overwhelmed me with charm from the Scandinavian architecture of every building, the 100s of shops, wine tasting rooms, restaurants and wow - the authentic Danish bakeries. Solvang sits in the middle of wine country and is surrounded by over 200 wineries that offer another level awe and pastoral beauty - not to mention the delicious wines. My only negative was that I didn’t plan enough time to fully experience all that Solvang and the surrounding towns and wineries had to offer. Next time I plan a minimum of 3-4 days to explore more vineyards and culture that this little know gem has to offer. 5 Stars across the board!!’

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Barbara.
How much does Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Barbara usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Barbara is not rushed.
Is Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Barbara, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Barbara can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Barbara and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Solvang City Personalized Self-Guided App Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Barbara within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Barbara?
+
Santa Barbara runs wine tours into the Santa Ynez Valley, harbour sailing and whale watching, Channel Islands day trips, and Spanish colonial walking tours through the Presidio and Mission. Tasting-room access and group size make the biggest difference in wine tours here. On Outty we rank every Santa Barbara experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Santa Barbara Electric Bike Tour, Kayak Tour of Santa Barbara with Experienced Guide, Small-Group Wine Tour in Santa Barbara to Exclusive Vineyards. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Barbara?
+
March to June and September to November, dodging the May and June marine layer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Barbara?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
