George Webber gives a great overview of Napa's history, both the old commercial downtown and nearby mansions. Educational and lots of fun. Well worth the time and money. more

The fantastic walking tour of Downtown Napa is a must-do for anyone visiting Napa. Our guide, George Webber, was an animated, wealth of information on Old Napa & the new revitalized riverfront. Our tour began & ended at the quaint Napa River Inn. The 2+ hour tour covered the Napa of the Gold Rush & Prohibition Days up to present... more

George's tour is fantastic. I have always believed that the only way to get into the spirit of a town is to walk with someone who lives there. The tour was extremely interesting, paced to the abilities of the attendees, and flexible enough such that all areas of interest were well covered. If one is going to invest in entertainment... more

We booked the Walking Tour as a package with our Bed & Breakfast Hotel. We learned so much about the history of Napa and its current events. We also enjoyed learning about the architecture and buildings that have and continue to thrive in Napa. Our tour guide was animated, informative, and full of fun facts to take home. We could... more

The Napa walking tour is a wonderful way to get an intimate feel for this picturesque town on the river. My friend and I attended a walk on Saturday September 26. Bob was our guide and he was a plethora of knowledge of local history, architecture and wine as well as anything else our tour group wanted to know. We... more

I experienced the Napa Walking Tour last Saturday (9/26), led by Bob (sorry, I can't recall his last name.) I can't begin to convey my appreciation for having the good fortune to be led by such a knowledgeable and amicable tour guide. Early in the tour, it became quite obvious that Bob has encyclopedic knowledge, with respect to the history... more

This tour was one of the best walking tours on which we have been. The guide,George ,was great! He knows so much about the city of Napa from the 1800's, the speakeasy's to the present. We got to see inside a beautiful historic B and B, learning the history of that part of town. We enjoyed a tour of an... more

Boy did I have the wrong expectation of Napa - expecting it to be a precious, wine-snob mecca. Instead it's a charming, vibrant riverside town with a wild-west history that our tourguide George really brought to life on this 2 hour walk. He also spoke compellingly of the present and future problems facing this smack-dab-in-a-floodplain town. The tour takes a... more
