We booked this trolley as part our 20th anniversary and we couldn't have been more been more happy with the tour. Overall, it was memorable, fun and worth it! After our initial disappointment at having to board a black shuttle bus and not a SF cable car-like trolley, we really had a great time. It was a bit cold outside anyway (our tour was in December) so it worked out for the better to ride in a warm and enclosed vehicle. Our driver, Jose, was awesome - super friendly, funny and knowledgeable about points of interest on the way up to our first wine tasting stop - Castello di Amorosa. After that, he kept the party going with great music and fun vibes. The bus was lively and festive. The three wineries chosen for the tour were great and also completely different from one another, adding to the interest and excitement of the tour. I rated this tour a 5 because of the tour itself - not the wineries. Keeping in mind, that the winery fees are not included (it says so in the description before you book), I don't believe it is fair to rate the tour on the prices that individual wineries charge. That should be a review for the wineries themselves (yes they can be expensive these days! But what isn't?). I recommend doing your homework. Look up the prices of the wineries on the itinerary before you book so you can budget accordingly; then you won't surprised. This tour really was one of the highlights of our trip to Napa. I think the average couple or group of friends would really enjoy this excursion!

I would only recommend if it's not raining. If rain is forecasted, cancel. Trolley will reach hwy speeds and you will get wet if not seated in enclosed area. Also, ask ahead which wineries will be toured and check prices. Two of the three wineries had pricey tasting/tour fees which are not covered.

We apologize that the weather forecast did not reflect rain, and therefore made for a wet ride. We do substitute the trolleys with busses when rain is forecasted. Regards.
