The driver/guide was wonderful. The wineries selected were wonderful. The bus not so wonderful. It was 100 degrees in the valley and the air conditioning was barely working. We all were so hot. The mic

Clean and convenient bus ride to Napa area. Visited three different types of wineries. Would have liked a little food at each spot to create more atmosphere. The bus driver TALKED the entire time. Too much. Just started to get annoying.

I booked this last minute literally at 7:30 am via Viator website. I was pretty impressed that I got a call right away from Tower Tours saying someone was going to pick me up at my lobby in 10 minutes. The tour was a small group of 12 people in a comfortable van bus with big windows. Our driver Patrick was not only a real gentleman but very informative without over doing it. We visited three wineries, Madonna, Sutter and Sebastiani. Madonna is artisanal and poured liberally. Sutter was ok, nothing special but the grounds were nice to walk in. Sebastiani gave us a little more insight into their winemaking process and had a nice indoor barrel setting. We didn't see any actual vineyards and wished I had seen lessor know wines I can't get back in Montreal. The lunch stop in Sonoma Square gave us copious time to eat and check out some sights. While there I had a great artisanal cheese and wine tasting at La Bodega Cheese Shop then an awsome lunch at The Girl and the Fig. Left hotel at 7 and was back at 6. Thank you Patrick for a great day and the illegal sign stop photo op!

This tour was amazing. Our Bus Driver/Tour Guide was excellent, Danillo from Honduras. He was very informative throughout the whole tour. We enjoyed all the wineries except for the Mario Andretti Winery. Our favorite was Cline Winery. Our stop for lunch was perfect with different selections of places to eat. I would highly recommend this tour.

I was in San Fran for work for the week and my mom came to visit for the latter part of my trip. She was celebrating her birthday and I decided to gift this tour to her. Everything about it was flawless to the pick up a block away from our hotel till our drop off. The driver was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the Sonoma/Napa area. You would really tell that he loved his job... like really loved it! I think his name was Willie ... he was an older black man We visited three wineries Sutter Home, Andretti, cant remember third all were different and beautiful. We had ample time to shop and sample at each winery. We made a stop for lunch in the cutest little town. Food was reasonably priced at the Italian restaurant that we ate at. The bus was nice, clean, and comfortable. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a day trip to the wine region!

This tour was very well organized and coordinated. The shuttle picked us up at our hotel and took us to the meeting point by the bay. Once we boarded the tour bus Silvio, our tour guide provided us with very good information of areas we toured. It was a long day, therefore, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes as you get on and off the bus to visit the different wineries. There is opportunity for wine tasting, a little shopping and taking pictures. We really enjoyed this trip! Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Napa and Sonoma for the first time!
