Awful. Your guide told everyone to be quiet on the bus ride, thinking he was going to give some commentary. But he just mumbled a lot of nonsense and gave a lot of political views that were not exactly appropriate for a group setting.
Stopped for a quick break by the bridge and he refused to let us take any pictures - only stop for washroom. When we didn’t need to use the washroom and tried to go to other side of parking lot for pictures he yelled at us to come back.
Continuous rambling throughout the entire trip and telling people to be quiet so they could listen to the ramblings got exhausting quick and honestly ruined the day.
The wines were not great. One stop was good - Madonna. One stop was so terrible it was barely drinkable.
Not exactly the best quality wineries on this tour.

Exciting trip with good visits. Visit 2 out of 3 very commercial. Would rather have a greater focus on production.
The guide Marco was super good.

Nice informative estate winery with VG wine.
Lunch on our own in Sonoma (a movie-perfect town!)
Beautiful, shady lawn and good wine at 2nd winery (not estate).

Driver/guide was great. Tour left late, Bus had no air conditioning. We were promised to get a replacement at the first winery and again at the lunch stop, nothing. 100 degrees outside and no A/C on the bus until the end of the tour. Driver was embarrassed about situation. Tour operators did not provide solution.

Great time! People complained about too much time at each stop in other reviews, but we didn’t find that to be an issue at all. We felt it was just enough time everywhere! Highly recommend!

Lovely drive, too long at the wineries for tastings, the wineries are small and we didn’t need two hours at each, would rather have more time for lunch and possibly walking around another area. Lunch was after 2:00 pm and everyone was starving and rushed and did not get a chance to walk around the lovely area of Sonoma downtown. Less tie at the wineries would be my suggestion as everyone was done and just waiting around. Our tour guide was great Thomas was fun and very knowledgeable. Viator combined our tour with Grey Line at the last minute and there was some confusion as to where to pick up the bus. All in all it was an enjoyable day but some things need to be tweaked.

Fun trip. It's nice to see the beautiful wineries, taste the wines, and not worry about driving. Pickup/dropoff was reasonably close to the cruise pier.

It was our first time in Napa and what an experience. We had such a blast. Our driver Marco was excellent. He took us around, was courteous, knowledgeable and well spirited.
Thank you Marco!

The full day trip could have been in four hours…however; the winery tours were nice and delicious! The bus driver was friendly. Not sure I recommend the full day though.
