Platypus Tours  Anmeldelser 

Our tour was incredible and our tour guide was incredible ( I am literally drawing a blank on her name right now- I am so sorry. ) But she was so much fun and really personable.

My Parents and I had a great time. Andy was very knowledgeable about the Napa and Sonoma area and provided information about grapes, soils, regions, and suggested other wineries to try for our second day. The Tours of the wineries and curated tastings felt unique and personal from the staff. I would recommend this experience to anyone new to the area before venturing out to try others on your own, plus you have a designated driver.

Our driver/guide, Casey, was outstanding!
He provided excellent history along with comical stories. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does.

On time, friendly, safe, clean and fun!
Good lunch and time management too!
Enjoyed the winery choices.
See ya again and will recommend.

Though a bit of a silly name (Platypus is an homage to the Aussie founder, I believe), there certainly wasn't anything silly about a near perfect day with Casey, our driver and guide. Picked up (early) at our hotel in Sonoma mid-morning, we picked up four other couples and proceeded to a boutique spin-off of a corporate winery - nice tasting room, decent wines and great art work, Imagery Winery was a good start to the day. The second winery, Loxton, was the highlight of the tour, as the husband, wife and one employee worked a 5 acre farm with all the values and considerations that makes them a stand-out of "Doing things the right way". We finished at Wellington, another, though larger producer, with pride and excellence, a hallmark of their beautiful setting and capable wines. Of special note, an excellent box lunch, made in Platypus' kitchens, was had out doors at Loxton. I like that the company keeps track of their guests, so they assure you of not going back to one of the 30+ wineries they visit - I also like that the driver picks the wineries for the day, and our excellent guide/driver/local/good guy chose wineries in close proximity, thus spending our time tasting on a relaxed schedule. A great value for a full day of comfort, convenience and conviviality. Having to pay tasting fees (or buying wine to waive the fee) was not overwhelming - in fact, there was never pressure to buy. Overall, an exceptional bargain for a perfect day in a remarkable place.

Terrific experience and fun and driver Jason was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. He expertly provided information and kept us on time with great suggestions on how to enjoy each winery and send wine via mail. Great job, great adventure and highly recommended. We will definitely be coming back.

We had great tour guide/driver. She made our rainy visit to Napa a fun experience.

Our guide, Jason, was incredible! Super friendly and knowledgeable. The wineries picked had a great variety.

always a great tour and the drivers always very knowledgeable and tell us where we are going in case we have been there before

Liked that we visited 3 locations and it was great to meet with a winemaker directly. 2 of the tastings felt very personal meeting at family homes. Would have liked a little more wine education from our driver, he seemed to be more reserved. Not a terrible thing. Appreciated the ability to buy a wine box. Overall a very fun and relaxed day.

Our guide, Jason, picked us up at our hotel. The rest of the day continued to be absolutely wonderful. Platypus Tours gave us first-timers the wine tour we had always imagined and endless fantastic memories.

Our tour guide Andy was awesome, smart, friendly, took very good care of us.

Boutique wineries we wouldn’t have found on our own were very nice and reasonably priced.

Tour was great! Great driver, comfortable bus, and great wineries!

My tour was great because of Courtney, our driver. She was kind, and sweet, and she provided us a with a great experience. Each winery was prepared for us ahead of time, and put on a full display for us. I felt special! Also the group that we met on the bus was awesome, and we made some great friendships. I will do this again the next time I visit.

Our tour Guide Steve was extremely friendly and made the experience amazing.

Had a wonderful time, would definitely recommend.

Tour guide was knowledgeable and enhanced tasting experience. Consistently provided bottled water during the day. Selected vineyards/wineries were very accommodating.

Great experience

We had a great experience with our guide, Gary. We visited three boutique wineries that we never would have found on our own. The knowledge Gary brought to the trip was greatly appreciated. The lunch midway thru the journey was delicious.
