Rent a Bus to The Old Mission Santa Barbara

The most iconic landmark in Santa Barbara, The Old Mission Santa Barbara is the 10th in a chain of missions established by Father Junipero Serra. Founded in 1786, it is known as the Queen of the Missions and is considered one of the most beautiful examples of Spanish Colonial architecture in California. Taking a bus to the Mission allows groups to avoid the headache of traffic and parking while providing a comfortable ride. Have your driver drop the group off right at the front gate, giving easy access to the self-guided audio tour through the church, museums, cemetery, and gardens. Wander through the gorgeous grounds filled with fountains, palm trees, and brightly colored flowers. Don't miss the chance to go inside the church to take in the beautiful murals, paintings, and decor. Groups can easily spend a few hours exploring the expansive complex and learning about California's Spanish history before meeting back up with your bus.

Visit The Santa Barbara Mission

One of the most iconic historical attractions in Santa Barbara is the Santa Barbara Mission. Founded in 1786, it's the 10th of the 21 Spanish missions in California and is nicknamed the Queen of the Missions. Its stunning location against a backdrop of mountains, lush gardens, and fountains makes it a picturesque spot for groups to visit. Wander through the church, museum, and cemetery to get a glimpse into the area's Spanish colonial past. Guided group tours can be scheduled for an additional fee. Since parking is limited, we'd recommend having your bus driver drop off passengers near the main entrance on Laguna Street. The driver can then park the bus at the lower mission parking lot and meet up with the group after exploring is complete. Visiting this National Historic Landmark is an easy way to experience an important piece of California history first-hand.
