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."
