Heather of Norm's Executive Transportation was very responsive and helpful. With less than 24 hours notice, Heather was able to book us a private SUV for touring wineries near Charlottesville. Her empathy and quick action ensured that we could still have a trip that weekend (we found out shortly before booking with Norm's that the other transportation service we initially booked was a sham/out of business). Gloria, our driver, was also fantastic in that she was flexible on our custom itinerary and excellent at communicating logistics and timing. Gloria also went above and beyond by looking at closing times for our intended destinations and recommending alternatives that would give us more time to enjoy each winery.

I HIGHLY recommend Norm's Transportation. We lucked out and had Norm, the owner, as our driver. He was awesome! He made great winery recommendations, including a new one that had recently opened. He was patient and kind...I'm sure we were a lot by the end of the day after 3 wineries, but you would never know it by his reaction. One person in our group even left their phone in his car and he kindly drove back to return it to us. He communicated with us throughout the day via text to help keep us on the schedule we had planned and hoped for to ensure we got to visit multiple wineries. I felt like we had an awesome friend or uncle driving us around to enjoy the beautiful day. The vehicle seemed brand new, very comfortable and better than I imagined it would be for the affordable cost. Worth every penny and more. We would definitely book with Norm's again without question. We even tried to book him to take us to the airport, but they were already booked up. We love Norm and his team!

We used Norms for a Bachelorette Party and winery tour. They were great at checking in with us and communicating ahead of time. Lorena, our driver was great. We booked a 14-person bus for 5 hours which worked out perfectly for what we needed. Overall a great experience.

We had a horrible experience booking a wine tour. I do not recommend them for wine tours. They may be fine picking you up at the airport but do not think they can book a wine tour for you. First, the person in the office, promised all this information and delivered almost nothing except telling me what to schedule and when. She had me doing all the reservations, etc. I have toured wineries in Napa, Cape Town, SA and Upstate NY and they were all wonderful experiences. When I called and complained she had not delivered what promised and that I wanted to cancel, she was quite angry with me and told me I was 1 day over the 2 week deadline and they were charging me for the whole thing whether or not I went. I said fine I would rather lose the $$$ then have a miserable time in a situation that was not optimal. I had booked everything, the times, the lunch, etc". Since I did not know the area I was uncomfortable in this situation. We ended up booking with the BoarsHead Outfitters who did a wonderful job. We paid them a rate for the tours and they booked everything down to our lunch.

Hello Margaret, So super sorry to hear your experience was so different from everyone else that has left us a 5 star review on here and have complimented "the person" in the office (her name is Heather), countless times for all of her hard work, assistance, wonderful personality and so forth. Makes we wonder if the real problem was on our end or if it was on yours. Regardless, we are delighted to hear that you had such a marvelous time with the other company you used and we wish you countless returns, to them. Oh, and this is not Napa, Cape Town or any of the other places you mentioned. I'm sure each of those areas have different operating procedures and most people are flexible enough to adapt to those. We truly hope you have a wonderful life.

A group of girls and myself came to Charlottesville for my sisters bachelorette weekend and we booked a wine tour with Norms as our plan B because our original plan fell through. Well, they should've been my plan A because I had the BEST experience with them. The price was significantly cheaper than the other transportation companies and incredibly affordable and Heather was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and kind. She went above and beyond for my group; made reservations for us at our wineries, brought the bride-to-be flowers, and even gave us chocolates for our ride for Valentines weekend. We loved Heather so much she even came to hang with us at the wineries and was so much fun to talk to!! I cannot speak highly enough about this company, I will definitely be booking with them again next time I am in the area! Heather and Norm are the best- we love you!!!! <3

Always my "go to" for transportation in the Charlottesville area. Whether it is a trip to Dulles, Richmond, or around the Charlottesville area, Norm's Executive Transportation always comes through -- prompt pick up and on time deliveries; ultra clean, modern vehicles; and drivers who are willing to make the time pass with great conversation or who will remain silent and let you get on with work that needs to be done while in the car. Would highly recommend them!

We use Norms Executive Transportation every time we visit Charlottesville. Over the years we have found Norm and Heather to be extremely reliable and professional. Both of them go out of their way to ensure the best customer experience! They are well connected in the Charlottesville area, which pays dividends when booking trips or making last minute adjustments.

If you are looking for a hassle-free experience, where you can sit back, enjoy the day and not worry about a thing, I would highly recommend Norms Executive Transportation.

Price: Excellent! Very well priced for the area!

Vehicle: GMC Denali- exterior and interior very clean and well maintained.

Do yourself and your group a favor and book Norm's Executive Transportation.

We chose Norm's for a private tour of 4 wineries. The car was very nice and the driver recommended wineries to suit our tastes.
The fare doesn't include tastings, so you'll pay $12-$18 per winery for those. It doesn't seem that any wine tour in the area includes tastings, they really are just transportation services.
They recommended we stop at a local market and ordered ahead for sandwiches we could take into one of the wineries. That was definitely needed because the wineries didn't have much food.
Definitely recommend them.

Thanks for your review. By Virginia ABC Law we, as transportation companies, are not allowed to purchase your tastings. I apologize if that's what held you back from giving us a 5 star rating but, that's out of our control. Still delighted to hear that you had a fantastic time and we hope to see you again!

From the time I reached out to Norm's to the time Heather dropped us off, the experience and customer service was top notch. With several options to choose from, I chose Norm's based on others feedback and very reasonable prices, and so happy we did. During the booking process I let Heather know that we were in town celebrating a birthday, and she had several great surprises for the birthday girl and our group. We utilized them to take us to 3 different wineries over a 5 hour period and she also picked up lunch from the local market. I would highly recommend using Norm's if you want personalized service at great prices!

Just book now, look no further!!!! Norm's Executive Transportation was amazing from start to finish! I received their info from our Airbnb owner who said that her past customers have had great service from Norm's. Norm's did not disappoint. Starting with the scheduling of the itinerary, Heather was responsive, professional and great with making recommendations to help us book our girls winery trip. Heather showed up with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a balloon for the graduate that we were celebrating for. Her vehicle was super classy, clean and made us all feel like VIP's riding in style. Heather showed us such a wonderful time on our trip. We truly can't thank her enough for all that she did for us!! Heather and Norm, you guys are the best in the business and your company is the the epitome of high class transportation.
