This is the best way to see and taste the small, little wineries, and get a personal visit like a local! Each of the tasting rooms greeted us as if we were their best friends, as we were clearly with one of theirs by having Valerie with us. The next day we spent time visiting tasting rooms on our own,... more

The tour guide was welcoming, friendly and fun. The group was small enough to get to know everyone and not overwhelming. Each stop we made was enjoyable and it was great to support the smaller family-run vineyards. I would definitely do this again. more

We had a great time on the Platypus Tour of Napa Valley. We had Scott as our very informative, very funny guide. He took us to four smaller, quaint, family owned wineries. We loved them all. My husband & I (especially my husband) were very reluctant to do Napa on a a guided tour, thinking it would be too structured... more

This all day event was the best. We were not sure how to tour Napa and chose to use Platypus Tours from online advertising. Our decision resulted in an experience that we will never forget. Shawnda was extremely knowledgeable of the area and of the wineries that we visited. Her enthusiasm contributed to the overall experience. We would not hesitate... more

Platypus delivered what they promised. As there are a ton of reviews I'll try not to get too repetitive. I stayed in American Canyon but they were still able to pick me up. The short bus isn't ritzy but who cares - what you need is a window seat so you can gawk at scenery and everybody gets one. Our... more

This was the best thing we could have done on our first visit to Napa. Our tour driver / guide Ty made the trip extra special with his knowledge of the area, and of the wine making process. He also selected winery's to visit based on the what we wanted, and he laid out a perfect lunch for all of... more

We made our trek to Napa in mid-September and we kicked things off with a ride through wine country with Platypus. We felt fortunate--our tour guide/driver Dave spoke the "language of wine" not only because he knew the topic so well but because he had a background in pharmacy – so he had an excellent command of the chemistry involved... more

It was a beautiful November Saturday in Napa Valley; my husband and I were able to book a last minute tour with Platypus tours. Floyd was our driver, and we shared the day with 3 other congenial folks from Sacramento and New Zealand. We started our tour at Castllio de Amarosa (the spectacular castle), and went from there to Lava... more

We happened to arrive in Napa when the storm of the century hit. No worries - we had Platypus to guide us through the valley and introduce us to wines and people that were more than memorable. Everything about our trip was first rate - our driver, the company, the wines, the memories - ok, maybe not the weather. Platypus... more

I have some very high level requirements including private tastings since we had 13 in our group, off the beaten path, with the level of experience from novice to expert and Shawnda was able to put together a fabulous 2-day experience for my international group of friends. Platypus also recommended the perfect hotel, called Napa River Inn. The Platypus team... more
