WHERE YOU'VE SEEN US
What sets us apart
The comics, princesses and history nerds who run the valley’s best walks.
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 Clark 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. Every tour is an easy stroll through the village or downtown Los Olivos — no hills, no rush, and plenty of stops for food, stories, and photos.
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.
Ready to see Solvang the way we see it?
Four tours, seven days a week, small groups all year round. Tours regularly sell out — book online to hold your spot.
