Why Laugh Tours?

Because we live here.  These people are our neighbors and we care about them.  We want to show you Solvang from a personal side.  We want you to get to know the real Solvang.  Meet the people, see the places, taste the food and learn the stories.


Oh, and we’ll make you laugh along the way.

Real working comics

Our guides are professional comedians and storytellers. Experience Solvang history, Danish culture, and the punchline in the same breath.

Locals, not scripts

We live in the valley. Meet local shopkeepers, bakers, and neighbors you might never discover on your own while exploring Solvang and the Santa Ynez Valley.

Everything included

Nothing extra to buy on our Solvang tours. Your experience is all included.

Genuinely small groups

Fifteen to twenty five guests, never more. Enjoy small group Solvang tours where you can hear the guide, ask questions, and connect with local people.

WHERE YOU'VE SEEN US

Meet your guides

John

After 36 hours of labor, John was finally born with a cone shaped head. For the next 24 hours he had seizures, which according to his wife, explains his short attention span. Growing up John lived in 15 different states, went to 5 different middle schools and 4 different high schools. Thoroughly confused at this point, John found the stage and has never looked back. He has performed in countless television shows, plays, films, and comedy venues. He is an award winning comedian, a produced playwright, an accomplished actor, and a man with a round head. There is nothing John likes more in the world than the sound of laughter and he loves to bring laughs whereever he goes.

Ashley

Ashley is a local to the central coast for most of her life, only leaving to follow dreams like working at Disneyland and going on tours as a standup comedian (including a residency in Vegas). She spends months scouring old newspapers and interviewing locals and retired officers to bring you the forgotten truth, and her paleontologist father is also a huge contributor to her research! She's a myth-buster by nature, even on her YouTube channel (Marilyn Monday) where she debunks myths about Marilyn Monroe and shares spooky history!

Questions, answered

Do we walk the whole time?+
Yes, but slowly. We stop to tell stories or to point out important local sites.
Are the tours family-friendly?+
Sunrise and Princesses on Parade are built for all ages. Krampus is written for adults — spooky folklore and adult-oriented humor. Los Olivos covers real crimes and unexplained deaths, so use your judgment for younger kids.
What happens if it rains?+
We walk anyway unless conditions are unsafe. Bring a jacket. If we do cancel, you get a full refund automatically.
Can we book a private group?+
Absolutely — birthdays, bachelorettes, corporate teams, family reunions and weddings. Tell us the group and the vibe and we'll build the route around you.
Are gratuities included?+
No. Your ticket covers the tour, food and supplies. Tips for your guide are always welcome and never expected — except from Krampus, who takes it personally.
How far ahead should we book?+
Tours sell out, especially in summer and during Julefest. Book online any time; Princesses on Parade needs at least two hours' notice so the princess can get ready.
