What Our Guests Say
"I went on Matt's tour this morning and loved it! The tour is fun and interesting with a great combination of history, fun facts, and architecture. I would never have noticed on my own the details he pointed out on the buildings. His knowledge is truly impressive and you can tell he really loves telling the history of Santa Cruz. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for the history of the area, a talk about beautiful architecture, and a nice little walk around downtown Santa Cruz."
"It was a really fun tour! Learned a lot of history about Santa Cruz and different styles of architectures!"
"I took my husband and two toddlers on this tour with Matt and we had a great time! My three year old even enjoyed the fun facts! Matt has a genuine enthusiasm about every fact he shares, and it gave us a deeper appreciation for Santa Cruz!"
