My girlfriend organized a winery limo tour for her 30th birthday. She had to make several changes to our reservations due to some unforeseen circumstances with members of our group. And all the while Jonathan of Gold Coast Limo's remained patient and accommodating. We couldn't ask for better service. We arrived for our tour at 2:00pm and were chauffeured in a beautiful black limousine filled with cold champagne, bottle water, and soft drinks. Jonathan took us to three wineries and we were provided with a delicious picnic lunch from Panino. This was hands down the best wine tour that I've done. What separates Gold Coast Limousines from the rest is the fact that they offer personal and professional service. read more

Gold Coast Limousines - Picnic lunch at Bridlewood Winery thanks to our chauffeur and photographer Jonathan of Gold Coast Limousine =) - Limos Near Me - Santa Maria, California

Very smooth process getting info and securing a reservation. Jonathan was very helpful, personable and professional. Our particular vehicle had some mechanical issues a day prior and he called me to notify me, as well as offer a solution at a discounted rate. Our driver, Edward, was on time and very courteous. Give them a whirl! read more

I love this business!! They were easy to contact, professional, and fun! We went wine tasting and it was raining that day and the driver made sure to park close to the entrances and avoid puddles for us. Small, but so nice! This is just an honest and easy company to work with. Great prices, and VERY knowledgeable about the area and wineries as well. It's nice to go on a trip and not have to worry about the transportation. I highly recommend this company :) See you again, Gold Coast! read more

Gold Coast Limousines - Limos Near Me - Santa Maria, California

I was really impressed with this limo company. I reserved online and called a couple days before to confirm. Everyone was very pleasant to work with. On the day of our service the driver called to tell me when he was close. When he arrived he took a picture of our group and even had a bottle of champagne chilling for us. I really appreciate all the extra effort. Once we were on our way I mentioned that we were not sure what to do for lunch. He had a menu and said he could drop us off at the next place and go pick it up for us. This was super helpful and therefore we did not waste any time and got to spend our time wine tasting. This business also has the most reasonable prices. The limo was clean and spacious for 6 people. Overall I would def recommend this limo company for their friendly service and great pricing! read more

One of my girlfriends found a great Travelzoo deal for a winery limo tour in the Santa Ynez area. We met Gold Coast Limo's at 10.15am and were ferried around to 4 different wineries, with a picnic lunch at one. Leading up to this FAB day, my friend found communicaiton with Phil to be easy, fast & efficient. The day of we were delighted with Edward, our limo driver, who provided outstanding service - it made the whole day so so enjoyable. As soon as we arrived back in L A one of the group realized she'd left a sweater in the limo. She was immediately able to reach Phil and, the next day, provided him with her FedEx number. The sweater was promptly returned as well as the as-promised tracking number as soon as it was sent. We were a group of 7 and all highly recommend Gold Coast! read more

Love, love, love this company! It was my friend's birthday, so we did a wine tasting tour in Santa Ynez. Our limo driver, Jonathan, was outstanding! He was knowledgeable, The limos are very up to date, well stocked, and comfy. Did I mention how great Jonathan was??? I would highly recommend them to anyone, and I know my girlfriends would say the same. read more

I wanted to compliment my driver Dwayne, he was an absolute joy to be around. He made my trip to Santa Barbara so much fun. Dwayne was on time, has a great disposition, told great stories that had us laughing. Being in a wheelchair and traveling isn't always easy. However Dwayne was sensitive to all my needs, making sure I was comfortable. If I come back to Santa Barbara I would use Gold Coast Limousines, and ask for Dwayne, of course. I use a lot of driving services and your company is on the top of my list!! read more

I bought a voucher from travelzoo for a wine tasting limo tour and I was extremely pleased with the whole experience. Our driver Jonathan was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the wineries we visited. We had a wonderful day with a great group of people. I will most definitely use their services again and again!! read more

Had a good experience with this company last Saturday morning. We did an approx 4 hour tour of local wineries that we had previously picked out. Our tour guide was Mark and he was prompt at our hotel waiting for us in a very nice comfortable, clean & spacious Sedan limo. He was quite knowledgable about the area and the wineries and easy to talk to. We just told him where we wanted to go and he got us there with no problems. We were able to do 5 different tastings in the allotted time then head back towards our hotel. Top notch no issues, prices pretty comp, I had an old credit from a previously purchased and expired Travel Zoo, they gave me the paid value with no issues. Overall, I'd give them a good recommendation for anyone needing this service in the area. read more

We hired Gold Coast for a day of team building activities. They were excellent! Booking, to keeping in contact, to the actual day exceeded our expectations. I worked with Phil who was also our driver and he was awesome! Overall great customer service and wonderful experience. Would definitely use them again. read more

We purchased a travel zoo voucher for a birthday outing in Santa Ynez to go wine tasting for Gold Coast and it left me a bit disappointed. The office was extremely efficient and set everything up and confirmed all the details wonderfully, but the actual experience didn't really meet my expectations. We had about 7 other passengers with us, who were also delightful and made the trip fun, but they too were disappointed. The original Travel Zoo deal was $69 for a regular cost of $169, so we were really excited about the great value. It was to include a 4-5 hour tour which included 3 wineries with tastings, a sandwich lunch, and a bottle of champagne. We have been on several tours, so we have others to compare to this one. The driver arrived late and we had to call the office to confirm he was still going to show. Upon arrival he was friendly and gave a quick review of the stops, and at no time did he mention that we should tip the wine server at each stop, a point that I will review later. We had plenty of time to get acquainted with the other passengers and we all quickly became friends. At the second stop, we had our tastings and then went out to have our picnic lunch. We all found seats at tables on the patio, but the driver asked us to move to the picnic tables. which was fine, but most of us were in dresses and it was a bit uncomfortable. I purchased a bottle of wine inside to share with everyone, which he commented on....guess he thought it was a weird thing to do. He presented us with lovely white travel food boxes, but when we opened the boxes, they had a subway sandwich with a bag of chips.....just thought a deli sandwich would have been more appropriate, but again... that is what I have had on other tours. several passengers purchased wine, which he stored in the trunk of the limo, but then he parked it in the sun. One of the passengers nicely asked him to move it to the shade so that their wine would not be spoiled....he said he had the air on in the car and it would be fine. When she checked to verify what he had said.... the limo was still parked in the sun and she had to ask him again to move to save the wine. I asked if it was alight for us to drink the champagne.... he said " Really?.... You want to drink more?" We were at the second winery and only one person was even slightly tipsy not to mention, that is why you get a limo is so that you have a designated driver. I explained that everyone had been asking about it and we all wanted to have some....we had 1 bottle to split 9 ways!!!! Really? At the last stop, I tipped him out and he asked what the money was for.... I told him that was his tip. He then saw money which had been left on the counter for the tasting service and he picked that up and asked what that was....... one of our passengers explained that was the tip I had left for the wine service. He promptly came to me and said I shorted him $1.75 on the tip and he had to turn it in to the office. Not sure I understood why he had to turn it in, but that is not my business, the sad thing is.... I would have tipped much more, being in the service industry myself, but I just didn't feel that it had been earned. He did drop us off in Los Olivos as we request with others from our group....we asked what he thought the cost of a cab would be to get us back to our hotels... he said about $5.... it cost us $40! The Limo was lovely, the wineries were great, it was simply the service during the day, sharing one bottle of cheap champagne between 9 people and the subway sandwiches that cheapened the trip. Had I paid full price, I would have been very upset.... in this case..... just very disappointed and I cannot recommend the company... sorry. read more

The level of service and customer empathy that Gold Coast provided us was really impressive. Working with Phil was easy. He was always timely in responses and happy to jump on a call or send an email response when we had questions. It was a pleasure working with this company. read more

Best ever! I am beyond satisfied with gold coast! I was looking for a cool 21st birthday surprise for my brother and gold coast did it above and beyond. - First- I called a couple different limo/party bus places to get price quotes gold coast was the best price and the most flexible they didn't mind coming at the half hour and didn't have a time minimum during the week. - Second - I was probably a very annoying customer but Jonathan over the phone was SUPER accommodating. I swear I called almost everyday to change something times days this and that and every time he was so friendly! -Third- I don't live in the same area as my brother so I didn't go on the bus but he was super surprised and said this was the most fun he had ever had. Judging from the pictures it looks like everyone had an absolute blast. They couldn't stop talking about how cool their driver was too! He came on time and really added to the whole experience! My brother said the bus itself was awesome striped pole and champagne included! And from the pictures I saw it looks like they had a lot of fun using the pole! I wouldn't call any other place and can't wait to visit my brother and go wine tasting!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! read more

Had my birthday celebration this past Friday visiting the wineries in Santa Ynez Valley. Jonathan was amazing as our driver! He picked us up at our hotel in Santa Barbara and was friendly and accommodating from the start. We had a great time drinking champagne and listening to great music in our limo without worrying about having to drive since Jonathan got us to all our destinations safely! The limo was clean and brand new supplied with plenty of glassware, bottles of sparking wine and water!! Thanks, Jonathan for being part of my birthday celebration and taking all our crazy, fun pictures! Would definitely use this company again. Request Jonathan as your driver! read more

FANTASTIC! I bought a voucher from travelzoo for a wine tasting limo tour and could not have enjoyed it more!! My boyfriend and I go wine tasting all the time so we are kind of picky about where we go and what we do. Luckily, our driver was super knowledgeable about wine and gave us a lot of great suggestions and tips. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a good day. The voucher said that pick up would be at a restaurant in Los Olivos, but the owner of the company offered to have our driver pick us up at our hotel in Solvang, free of charge, to make it easier which was a much appreciated bonus!! I would definitely recommend this company. I was very pleasantly surprised, especially because I couldn't really find many reviews. read more

I wanted a fun birthday treat for my boyfriend and so booked a limo with a bunch of our friends. It was such a great idea. We had a blast and a major part of it was the service and charm that Gold Coast provided us with our host driver Rich Peters. He went way beyond just chauffeuring us to the wineries. He provided tips and catered to our experience by adding some fun moments in between wineries. I suspect we'll repeat this service and will be sure to ask specifically for Rich again. read more

We used Gold Coast Limousines for a bachelorette party wine tasting day trip. I spoke with Jonathan on the phone to book the trip and he was very helpful. He gave me winery recommendations that followed a logical route. He also emailed me links to places I could order lunch from and told me the limo driver could pick the lunch up while we were tasting at one of the wineries. A few days before the event the limo driver checked out the pick-up location and was worried about getting the bus up to the place given the windy roads. We talked through it and he was able to find an alternate route and was able to get the bus to the house. The driver on the day of was very accommodating given our large group and made sure we were to each winery on time. This company is great and I'd definitely use them again the next time I go on a wine tasting trip in Santa Ynez. Thanks Gold Coast! read more

My book club girlfriends and I had a most wonderful outing with Gold Coast Limousines in January! We took the train up from Union Station, Mark met us in the long black limo, cracked open a bottle of champage and we were off! Gorgeous weather, beautiful scenery, great wines... it doesn't get better than this! Mark was the consumate host, convivial and professional, and Phil in the office was more than patient with our numerous pre-trip cancellations and confusions (hard to get 8 women together anywhere at one time!). Great day out, absolutely recommended! (Also, the train was a good idea... no designated driver!) read more

I purchased a voucher from Travelzoo for a wine tasting for my boyfriend and me. Redeeming the voucher was super easy and convenient. Phil and Jonathan are great! The limo arrived on time. Our driver was Rich. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. About the Wine Tour: There was Champagne (Cook's) on ice. and bottled water chilling inside the limo. The limo was clean and spacious. The first winery we visited was okay The lady pouring the wine was not very friendly and quite unwelcoming. The stop at this winery was much too long for my taste. I wish the time at this winery were cut in half to allow for a visit to another winery. The following two stops were nice and the time spent was appropriate. The Fess Parker winery is very nice, and I recommend it remain in the itinerary. Box lunches were served at this winery. Lunch was okay (Subway sandwiches, chips and bottled water). We ate outdoors on the patio on a beautiful day with our new-found friends in our limo party. It was great and we had great laughs! In summary: I would highly recommend this excursion to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, bridal showers or just for a girl's weekend! Highlights: The great customer service from Phil, Jonathan and Rich; visit to Fess Parker Winery. Overall, it was a great experience, with nice people and at agreat price! I would recommend using Gold Coast Limos. Great customer service! read more

We used Gold Coast Limousines and they came through for us big time. We are a travel agency, and originally we had reservations for our clients with a different bus company and it was a complete disaster, so we had to make last minute arrangements, and Gold Coast provided great service. Phil Conklin was particularly helpful. We will definitely use them for future reservations. Gregg Scott Interlink Tours read more

We used Gold Coast for our Santa Ynez wedding (about 50 guests) and it worked out perfectly. We were so impressed with the drivers as they were courteous and professional, and the reservation process was fairly easy. I'd recommend them, for sure. read more

We were very happy with Gold Coast Limousines for our wedding in July! Our driver was helpful and accommodating for our elderly guests.

This company was highly recommended and it lived up to it's standards. Phil was very responsive and helpful with our wine tasting schedule. Our driver was very accommodating. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again! read more

I could not have been happier with this service. The owner called me to arrange, after they were referred to me for an event at San Ysidro Ranch. They were professional and promt. Also, the driver called me with questions on the 1st pick-up and just to let me know he was running on schedule. I would highly recommend them. read more

I was most impressed with Gold Coast Limousine service and our driver Mark. On our way to the airport to catch a flight home after a party at the Biltmore, I noticed one of the gold earrings I had been wearing had fallen off. We did not have time to go back. Mark said he would return to the hotel after he dropped us off at the airport to look for it. Despite our insistence that we didn't want him to go to the trouble, he did it anyway. We got a call about an hour later from him telling us the earring had been found. He certainly went the extra mile and refused any type of payment for his efforts! read more

I have always used Gold Coast whenever I need a limo.....they provide prompt, great service, and have great prices

I found out about Gold Coast through a travelzoo special. I planned a weekend in Solvang/Santa Ynez for my boyfriend and I, but this was my first time visiting the area and I had NO IDEA where to start when it came to planning a wine tasting tour. Gold Coast planned the most enjoyable afternoon for us and 6 other folks. We all quickly became friends, as we toured in comfort admiring the gorgeous landscapes, tasting delicious wines (and beers) and sharing stories from home. TJ, our AMAZING driver, was so friendly and sincere. His goal was to make our tour the best it could be by tailoring it to the group's likes and interests...and he definitely succeeded! My boyfriend was extremely impressed with my ability to plan such a fun and memorable weekend...but I know it is all thanks to Gold Coast! read more

I did quite a bit of research before booking this service and was I glad I did. Danny is an outstanding driver with impeccable timing! We used the service twice and both times he was on time, delightful and got us to our destination without a hitch. I would book this service in a minute again. I've used town car services around the country and this one a gem. read more

We had the best time on our wine tour! Great company, easy booking, but the best was our driver, Jeanine. She was fabulous! She knew all the best places, gave us great recommendations, and kept everything really fun. All six of us enjoyed every minute and will be returning for another tour. read more

I couldn't be happier with Gold Coast Limousines. I planned a party for my husbands 40th birthday celebration to go to Santa Ynez winetasting for the day with 21 of our closest family and friends. As soon as we met the limo at 9:30am, the limo driver ,Fran, was friendly, accomodating and had set the tone for the entire day. By the end of the day, everyone was so happy, had THE BEST time in the party bus and RAVED about how amazing the limo driver and service was. I can't wait for our next trip, and when it does happen, I will definitely be using Gold Coast again!! read more

Worthless. Missed 2 pick ups and left me with my 5,7 and 9 year olds stranded in the middle of the night without any chance of getting home. Horrible. read more

I am planning a wine tasting party for a party of 18 - 20 people and found it very difficult to find a limo company that would work with me in the Santa Ynez area. I called Gold Coast Limos and not only did they have vehicles that could accommodate my group but they were awesome at helping me with the days itinerary and schedule. I worked with both Phil and Johnathan and they are both extremely nice and helpful. Johnathan spent a good 30 minutes on the phone with me going over my options and then sent me a complete list of places he suggested visiting along with deli and sandwich ideas along the way. I tend to be a picky consumer but I am extremely pleased with Gold Coast and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you for all of your help. read more

We recently had the most amazing and unforgettable trip to San Luis Obispo. All the events, the food, the scenery and of course the wine were some of the best we have ever enjoyed. Along the way what really made our trip so special was being chauffeured around - the cars were always clean and on time and the drivers were fantastic. They were courteous, knowledgeable, helpful and always made the extra effort to make our journey a good one - never mind being good drivers! Thank-you! read more

We used Gold Coast Limousines for a bachelorette wine tasting day-trip. They exceeded my expectations. Our driver, John, was so friendly and polite and considerate! He always had the bus waiting for us (pulled up so we didn't have to walk far) as we pushed our limits on making it to the next wine appointment on time (getting 14 women together to leave is a nightmare). He ordered sandwiches and picked them up for us. He dealt with me being a little all over the place (organization wise) and was an excellent driver. At our last wine stop he brought us the rest of the bottled waters from the van all the way to our picnic table because it was such a hot day and he figured we'd need them (SO THOUGHTFUL). I just could not have asked for a better experience. He just walked the perfect line of being receptive/answering questions but not overly chatty/inserting himself into our bachelorette girls-weekend experience. Phil booked our trip and his rate was by far the best of all the transportation groups I quoted. The Van was sleek and clean and everyone stayed cool (all the way in the back). Just super grateful for the stress free experience John helped us achieve. As good as it gets! read more

This company has been amazing! Very professional- from providing a quote to having a very friendly and courteous driver (Mark), I am so glad we used them for our wedding. Thank you Gold Coast for providing stress-free service! read more

You need to use this limo service!! They are the best. I just used them for my daughter's wedding this past weekend. I reserved two limos for the bridal party and a town car for the bride and groom to get them safely to their wedding night destination. All limos were on time and the drivers were just superb!! All quotes and any changes were submitted via email in real time for confirmation of all the reservations. The staff and team were professional, pleasant and understanding with this Mother of the Bride. You guys were superb!! Thank you so much for making my daughter and son-in-law's day so special. read more

Unbelievably excellent service. Jonathon was the most amazing guide and host for the day. We randomly visited several wineries and partook in tastings each location. It was some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen in my life, this area is beautiful. Jonathon was early to pick us up, offered to customize our experience as desired (stopping here and there) and made this an optimal experience. I can rave about the service, unbelievably amazing is the best and only way to describe the experience. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Gold Coast was for my weekend wine trip. Used them for 2 days, and had the amazing Mark drive us around for both days. Arrived early, worked late, and was as flexible as we could have possibly asked. He even hopped off the expressway on the way from Paso Robles to Santa Ynez (home base) because we saw whales around the Pismo Beach Pier. Thank you, Mark, for being such a great part of my amazing weekend! We couldn't have done it without you! read more

We used Gold Coast for a birthday dinner at LaFond Winery with 50 guests. We used three different shuttles with multiple pick ups each. Gold Coast & Phil were terrific. Phil helped us map out our pick ups and drop offs and made the whole process easy. They were on time, courteous and our guests were really pleased with the service. read more
