Just returned from a long weekend in Napa. We were on the wine tour on Saturday and Sam was our driver. Sam was a lot of fun and super knowledgeable. I thought the wineries would be crowded on a sunny Saturday, but Sam did a great job of avoiding the crowds and the traffic. Sam took us to some beautiful... More

This trip was the absolute highlight of our 3 days in Napa. Our day with Platypus included visiting 4 small boutique wineries and a lovely simple picnic lunch. As Aussies visiting the area the tour gave us a chance to meet other people , go to wineries we would never find by ourselves and not have to worry about driving... More

I was shocked that my first wine tour ended up the way it did. I was expecting with such great reviews that Platypus would have been exactly what I traveled 2,000 miles for. So what went wrong? 1. The bus had no air conditioning. 2. Our lunch was a spread that was made with hand not covered by gloves and... More

We enjoyed our day with Sam, visiting four wineries that we otherwise might not have ventured to. The day was well-timed, the lunch was just right, and in a beautiful setting, and everyone on the bus enjoyed sharing the crackers and cheeses at the end of the day. (a brief note to Sam - Tedeschi sent us home with an... More

For the money you pay it's not even close to being worth it. We had a driver who was new he made no intro of what we would be doing just began driving. The bus had no ac in the back so everyone had to suffer in the hot van, winery's were awesome but I would rather drive myself and... More

We were in napa for our honeymoon and went on a platypus wine tour. Our guide was Sam who was great. We got to do tastings with the owners of 3 of the vineyards which was really cool. Sam made us a great lunch and showed us a great time. I couldn't recommend Platypus tours more. Well worth it. Jake

A great time had with Karl as our driver on our wine tour. Visited 4 wineries which I'm sure we would not have found on our own. Karl was very friendly and knowledgable not just about wine but also the napa area. Thank you!
