I cannot say enough positive things about Platypus Tours. My husband and I booked back-to-back tours to Napa and Sonoma. Each day we went on one vineyard tour and the rest of the time was spent at tasting rooms of small, boutique wineries. This is the best way to visit a wide variety of small wineries without having to worry... more

My husband and I did a Platypus Tour last week while visiting Napa for the first time! We were there for three days and did it on our first day out, which was the best move--it gave us a great feel for the area. Our tour guide, Valerie, was fantastic! She really made the day fun and informative, especially for... more

Jack, our incredibly friendly host for the day, arrived at 10am and we got settled on his very comfy bus. We shared the day with another 8 people which was actually really good fun. Jack chose a great selection of wineries, a really good range of tiny family businesses to fairly large organisations. They clearly use the majority of the... more

It was really cool to drive around the country side and actually meet the owners of the small wineries our driver chose. The driver knew a lot about the history of the area as well. Even though he'd only been driving for Playtpus 2 months, he had lived in Sonoma for quite some time and pointed out some pretty cool... more

The winery tour was wonderful and very fun! Ken was a great tour guide and excellent lunch maker! He selected great wineries for the tour . We would go again in a second! We highly recommend Platypus Tours and especially liked Ken who was very friendly and knowledgable! more

This is a great time for first time Napa visitors. We had Val for a guide and she is great. We learned the basic wine info needed to not look stupid. If you like be party with others and have a great time this is your trip. This was a great way to see some small wineries we would never... more

I live in the Bay area. Recently I was looking for a Napa wine tour for family members who were visiting with a baby. I was a complete novice, not having ever been on a wine tasting tour. While Kathy at Platypus Tours informed me that, regrettably, they no longer could accommodate children on their tours, she offered several suggestions... more

My wife and I heard about Platypus from a co-worker who loved his trip to Napa. We went in late April, so the tour only had us and 2 other couples, which was perfect. Plenty of room for all us and all the wine! The bus was comfortable, with plenty of bottled water, cheese and crackers. Our tour guide Ken,... more

My wife and I have been to Napa for wine tasting several times. We usually drive ourselves, but we wanted to do something different this time. We are really glad that we did! We were staying in San Francisco for a few days, and we were able to take the Baylink ferry from downtown San Francisco to Vallejo (an hour's... more
