We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon with James at Get Away Adventures! From the moment we met,…read moreJames made us feel comfortable and welcome. He gave us a quick tutorial on the e-bikes, making sure we were all up to speed and comfortable before we hit the road. Throughout the entire ride, James was constantly checking in to make sure we were doing okay, enjoying ourselves, and taking in the experience. The e-bikes were a blast to ride, but honestly, a huge part of what made the afternoon so enjoyable was the time we spent talking and getting to know James. James has an incredible wealth of knowledge about the Napa wine industry, and he was able to share so much interesting information along the way. But what really stood out was that his knowledge went far beyond wine. He was genuinely interesting to talk to, incredibly personable, and clearly someone who has a lot of experience and perspective on life. It felt less like we were simply on a guided bike tour and more like we were spending an afternoon with a great person who happened to know Napa incredibly well. The scenery, the bikes, the wine, and the conversation all made for a memorable experience.

We were slightly hesitant, as we had never traveled with any type of group before - I usually take care of travel planning and details myself. But this promised to be a unique experience and it surely was. Tim and Jessie took such good care of us that I'll probably be spoiled for life. We were able to relax and soak up the incredibly amazing experience for the entire 8 days. The local guides were also remarkable: knowledgeable, thoughtful, big-hearted and sensitive. In no way was this your ordinary tour experience. We look forward to future trips with Spirit Tours and I wholeheartedly recommend them for a special, unforgettable travel experience! --Mitsi

We have used them in the past for business events with no troubles but they recommended a stretch limo for a very windy road. Turns out they also use independent contractors and the driver was unknown to them. The driver couldn't make the driveway and we had to walk down the hill. Further, for pick up, the driver was asleep and unreachable. After 30 minutes, we had to get ubers. This is all normal stuff and I was ready to take it but I found the response from the company to be appalling. They were not interested in working with us on a refund and, at one point, had the audacity to say I didn't look hard enough for the car (which I did - nowhere in site). Anyway, given management disinterest in our satisfaction (having booked them many times before), thinking there is a better customer-focused company out there. If something goes wrong, I always want a highly customer focused partner and these guys weren't it.

I have been reluctant to give this review. I was hoping that after numerous texts and requests, to…read morethe staff and owner that I would receive at least a response. None was given. I wanted to work things out. I have kept a record of all the ignored and unanswered requests via email and text. Now that they have all my money and their helicopter is broken, there's no reason to be nice to me anymore. It wasn't about the training. It was all about just getting as much money out of me as possible. I have a log of all the flights over the homes that filed a noise complaint lawsuit against Helico. I was given the names of complaintants, TIM WINKLER, JOE and FRANK. There were some pretty negative comments by Helico staff as we passed over their homes. I spent close to forty thousand dollars and three years of my time studying to get my PPL. Private pilot's license. Helico promised to help me. That was a lie. They just wanted to suck me dry of money. I have been asking for 3 years for the Helico course outline & study, it's called the syllabyss. I recently texted Helico manager Karilee (September/October 2024) requesting a course syllabus, and she completely ignored me. I asked again. She sent me a text asking me "why I'm so pushy?" It's a joke the way Helico is managed. Maybe I dodge a bullet. The 2007 Robinson R44 Raven ll helicopter N557SM was definitely on its last leg. It had close to 4400 hours. It leaked a quart of oil every time we went out. Some instruments did not work. It was not burning the oil. It was leaking it everywhere. So we would just add another quart of oil every time before we went up for a flight. This is in the flight log book. Plus, there is a huge oil stain on the tarmac under the helicopter. This is the same helicopter that they were renting out to take people on tours. N557SM. I am not a mechanic, but I feel this helicopter was pretty well worn out. That is why it's going to be torn down and out of service for the next year. You could not even store gear in the storage departments under the rear seats because they were full of oil that was leaking through the firewall. They put diaper like material in there to absorb the oil. It was bad. I put squawks in the log book that I thought the oil use was excessive, but it was ignored. The exhaust pipe to the muffler had a burn through it. I mentioned that to my CFI Ryan Wax. I showed it to him. He said, "Don't worry about it, I don't think it matters." He can not make that call because he is not a certified aircraft mechanic. I believe FAA rules a mechanic must make that determination. I had another instructor take me up while he was hung over from drinking excessively the night before. He told me so. He said he had a really bad headache and did not get much sleep. Another FAA violation. He was fired later. Another instructor asked me if I wanted to do "zoomies". I had never heard of that before. We proceeded to do high-speed stunts. I have a video. The list just goes on and on and on. I don't know why it was like this, but we're going to get to the bottom of it. I am filing an FAA complaint. More to come.

Single Thread…read moreRestaurant and Farm in the beautiful town of Healdsburg, CA Our experience at SingleThread on 8/26/26 was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the service was exquisite--from the attentive wait staff to the incredibly knowledgeable sommelier. Our table was beautifully decorated with a centerpiece with branches and flowers and berries that created such a warm and intimate atmosphere--and that was just the beginning! We enjoyed an incredible @ 9-course meal (it was more like 20 IG you count each AMAZING morsel of sashimi) featuring so many unique and exotic varieties of fish, each course beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. As a pescatarian, I requested that my entire experience be gluten-free and cheese-free, and the team accommodated my request flawlessly. I never felt like I was missing a thing; every dish was creative, flavorful, and beautifully executed! My favorites were the corn bisque and sashimi bites as well as the complex multilayer cucumber dish! I wish I could eat that every night! It was amazingggg Then came the perfect finale After our 9 courses, we were brought upstairs to the rooftop, where we enjoyed three or four different gluten-free desserts while taking in a breathtaking sunset and beautiful views of Healdsburg. It was such a magical way to end an already unforgettable evening. From the food and wine to the service, setting, and attention to every detail, SingleThread delivered an extraordinary experience from beginning to end. Truly a special and memorable evening. We were so lucky to get a reservation and enjoyed every moment of our three hour dinner! I highly recommend coming here when you're in Northern California! The staff is so kind and accommodating!!They will curate your meal around any food allergies or food intolerances. It was true gastronomic debauchery!

Our dining experience at SingleThread on September 6, 2026, was seriously disappointing. For…read morecontext, our party of four had dined at The French Laundry two days earlier, which may have heightened our expectations. That dinner was exceptional and showed us what truly outstanding hospitality can feel like. By comparison, our experience at SingleThread fell far short of the standard we expected from a restaurant of this caliber. The issues began as soon as we arrived. Despite several emails exchanged beforehand and repeated references to personalizing the experience, the staff initially got my name wrong. We were then directed to look through a small kitchen window without any explanation, context, or narrative about what we were seeing. After a few minutes, a small tea drink was served through the window, but we were then left standing in a cramped entry area for roughly 20 minutes with no meaningful interaction from the three people at the desk. During that time, we watched other parties arrive and be escorted elsewhere while no one checked in with us or explained the delay. Eventually, someone from the dining room asked whether we would like to be seated. By that point, I was already frustrated. Once seated, our server quickly described several small dishes arranged on a flower-and-moss-covered faux log, then left before we had any meaningful sense of the menu, the number of courses, or the direction of the meal. When the sommelier arrived and asked us to choose wine or pairings, I felt unable to make an informed decision because I did not know what food was coming. I ultimately chose the wine pairing simply because it seemed like the safest option given the lack of information. The service throughout the evening did not reflect what I would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. There was little storytelling, little hospitality, and very little sense that the experience was being guided with care. A server attempted to clear my plate while my fork and knife were still in my hands. Another server bumped a member of our party with a plate. Most concerning, the staff appeared to lose track of a guest's allergy and served me her plate instead. To be clear, we caught the mistake; the staff did not. That kind of lapse is difficult to overlook. We also consistently had difficulty hearing the descriptions of the dishes as they were presented, which further diminished the sense of connection to the meal. At a restaurant centered so heavily on the progression, story, and precision of each course, that lack of clear communication mattered. The food itself showed creativity, skill, and technique. There were several good courses, a few that felt unusual or less successful, and a couple of truly strong dishes, including the best duck I have had to date. Unfortunately, it was difficult to fully appreciate the food because the service failures were so distracting and so far below expectations. The one clear positive of the evening was the sommelier. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in discussing each pairing and in making recommendations to other members of our party. His service stood apart from the rest of the experience. We will not return. For us, the evening did not feel personal, polished, or worthy of the reputation attached to it. It felt like highly engineered cuisine paired with service that did not meet fine-dining standards. We left The French Laundry two nights earlier talking about every detail with admiration. We left SingleThread frustrated and deeply disappointed.

Go to the Fish Hatchery, it's cool to tons of Steelhead fish. You might see some fish jumping at the Fish Ladder - hard to see, but we saw a few jump. Unbelievable how hard they have to work to survive. At the Raceways you can feed the fishes - bring Quarters because they machine is like those kind candy machines that only take quarters! We didn't and feel really bad to not get to see the crazy madness it would have caused. So Bring Quarters people! You can get information on hikes, maps, watch a short video, read about the fish hatchery, etc. Worth a visit! We'll be back one day. Bring Quarters!!

When we arrived…read morewe were warmly greeted at the bar area which also serves as the check in desk which was unique. The friendly employee told us a bit about the hotel as we were checked in and we got our keys. Our room was facing the interior courtyard as most of the rooms here are. We had a gas fireplace in the room which would come in handy during the cooler times of the year. We also had a little balcony which was great. I thought it might be a little noisy during the day or at night with people in the courtyard down below but it really wasn't an issue. The room had a nice clean bathroom with a fairly large shower. Double sinks as well which is always nice. The bed was comfortable, however when we checked in there was a large tear in one of the bed sheets. I called down to get it replaced, unfortunately housekeeping had already gone home. The front desk person offered to change the sheets for us, but we did that ourselves. The hotel has some wine tasting nights, though I'm not really sure how consistent they are. We didn't partake, but it may be available. They do have self service laundry available at the sister hotel which is right across the parking lot. The detergent is sold in a vending machine near the laundry room. There is lots of parking (you need a tag displayed in your car) and you can access the rooms either by stairs or elevator. Just a little ways down from the hotel you'll find a great trail that goes into town along a little stream which I really enjoyed. I enjoyed our stay at The Lodge and would recommend it. It's in a great location with lots to do around town.

But he definitely doesn't bring the brand any good recognition on service or professionalism. My stay: I am a minority but don't look at myself that way but obviously Elliot did. He seemed to be a West County Boy (west Sonoma County) lacquered in something other than kindness. He intentionally denied my checkin as a Diamond Member and never acknowledged me as such. I know the line in Hilton: " Thank You For being a Diamond Member....". Fast forward to 5 pm. Elliot still not letting me check in. I'm waiting in the lobby being super quiet and obviously aware of his tactics. Another person, female, comes by and ask me if the could help. I say yes I'm trying to check in. She says "Yes there are other rooms available would you like to check in". Of course I quickly take her offer and check in. I ask the housekeeping, where do you get ice? She says the front desk. I go back and guess who is there? Yup Elliot He says "OH yeah I will get you ice " . He goes around the front desk so I cannot see him. I hear him grunt out a big loogie as he cleared his throat rummaging with the ice scooper. Well at that point, I drive to the store to buy my own ice. True story The other thing which was also very odd about this Tapestry Hilton were the holes in the towels. As ai waiting in the pool area, several other guests called to complain about holes in all the towels at the pool. Later once I entered my room, I noticed the same thing. All of the bath large towels had holes. Odd... And the phish is walking way far away from West County Elliot.....
