If you're a foodie then this foodie tour is for you. We…read moreactually had originally done this Napa tour back in 2015. My wife was adamant in wanting to do the Sonoma foodie tour since she had never been in Sonoma before. Sherry kept in constant contact with my wife by email & text as she was our same tour guide back then. In fact she called her the day before & expressed concern of establishments not fully opened due to covid. So she managed to persuade my wife to do the foodie tour in Napa again instead. Maybe bc my wife told her she was wearing a long dress. Yup that did it! Sherry had started us at the infamous Oxbow public market with taking pics of the 4 of us in front. Yes that was a plus bc how often do you vacation & you do a quick selfie of everywhere you go? Ugh...all the time! LOL Sherry was informative, personable & quite the leader for our tour. She was sensitive to our needs & we totally enjoyed our six different stops walking leisurely from Oxbow market to throughout downtown Napa & back to the market. We had even walked by their farmers market which was on a Tuesday but unfortunately they were in the process of closing up since it was already noon. Our tour was a full three hours & we were totally satiated. What was quite enjoyable was we were with another couple whom we already knew in advance. Supposedly there was supposed to be 6 of us but that third couple mistakenly came the day before. Haha my wife said it was bc the Mercury was in retrograde! This foodie tour was ultimately like our own private tour! Yay! It was also to celebrate my wife's birthday. She had the time of her life. Thank you Sherry! Hope to go on your foodie tour in Sonoma one day soon! Book your next foodie tour here in Napa with Sherry! I highly recommend her. Remember to support these small local businesses & don't forget to tip!

We went back and grabbed more English muffins from Model Bakey, they're to die for! Would def recommend for anyone heading to the Napa area. So glad we did it! We also met a nice couple who was in our group. Nicely priced too.

My husband and I did the Napa City Ghosts & Legends Walking Tour last night as a Christmas gift,…read moreand I absolutely loved it. The tour guides (aka very accomplished paranormal investigators) were engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Napa's history and the paranormal. It was the perfect mix of spooky, fun, and fascinating -- we learned so much about downtown Napa along the way. We can't wait to do their Sonoma tour next and to watch the documentaries the tour leads are part of. Highly recommend!

We participated in the Napa Downtown Walk, Ghosts of the Redlight District & Main St. with Devin as…read moreour tour guide. I think he did a pretty good job keeping it casual and interesting. Attendees become paranormal investigators during the tour, given several tools to track paranormal activity (spiritual dowsing rods, and a ghost hunting meter that measures electric signals (as ghosts give off electric signals). We made about 4-5 different stops that are either haunted or have affiliation with death, and Devin helped the group communicate with ghosts during some of the stops, combining storytelling with interesting historical events in Napa. We had a combination of skeptics and believers in our group, including at least one witch. I, of course, came for the entertainment, getting to talk about serial killers, learn a bit about history, and also get in a few laughs as Devin brings the humor as well. I did learn some new things, such as the difference between a ghost and a spirit, possible origins of the terms "lobbying" and "pulling my leg", and that Cole's Chop House (where my bf and I had dinner earlier that day) was formerly a mortuary. We ended at the courthouse, not where we started the tour, with the story of the last public execution in California which took place here in Napa. Overall, we had a fun time, and it's an unconventional way to tour the streets of Napa, and definitely enjoyable if you like ghost stories.

Our guide, Devin, was easy going making us all feel welcomed and relaxed. He was also very knowledgeable about Napa, wines and great suggestions on things to do.

Highly recommend!

When you keep coming back, you know you've found something special. Owner Gale has built a truly exceptional operation. The equipment is always in great condition, the booking process is smooth, and the overall experience feels well thought-out from start to finish. It's clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in what she's created. Our guide James was fantastic: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and great at making the tour both educational and entertaining. He shared fascinating details about the wetlands ecosystem, local wildlife, and the history of the area, all while keeping the energy light and fun. The wetlands setting itself is breathtaking: a peaceful, scenic route that feels completely different from the usual Napa wine country experience. It's a perfect outing for families, couples, or anyone looking to explore the area in a unique and memorable way.

So fun! If you are looking for something different to do this is the activity…read more We went to the 9am group and it was just the 4 of us and the tour guide. The tour guides are ran by a mother and son. We had the son, James. He took us to 4-5 different places known by locals and let me tell you, lines were out the door for these places. We tried one thing off the menu that was chosen by the tour guides. I was skeptical because I'm picky when it comes to food but everything was so good. The segways were so fun too. Definitely would do it again.

He picked us up right in time and took us on an unforgettable journey through wine country. On all of the stops along the way, the staff at the wineries greeted us with big smiles. They obviously have a great relationship with him. He took us to "hidden gems" that we would have never known to go to if he was not our guide. Overall, we had another amazing experience with Napa Bee Driven. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a memorable wine tour in Napa!

She listened to our needs and wants and tried to understand what we wanted to accomplish during our trip. A balance of larger wineries and smaller, family wineries gave us a taste (pun intended) of Napa. Donna emailed with me in the weeks prior to our trip. She sent me a detailed itinerary. Donna met us at our hotel and drove us to each of the stops on our tour. Knowledgeable yet not at all overbearing, Donna was fun to hang out with during our days. Napa Bee driven is a well run company that provides a service beyond that which one could do him/herself. I recommend highly for anyone traveling for the first time or the 17th time to Napa!

I would definitely be back to experience it again and try their other cruises as well. It was such a peaceful and beautiful moment. I believe everyone should try it at least once. Big thanks to Shawn and Nolan.

We had a wonderful tour of the various galleries. The only complaint, we needed more time to explore, but now we have a reason to come back. We then had a leisurely lunch at the Red Grape, which was lovely. We ended the day with a wine tasting at Imagery Winery. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and capped it off with a viewing of the art gallery on property. We couldn't have asked for a better day and can't wait to curate a trip for next year. I highly recommend Active Wine Adventures.

I reached out for a quote and heard back within minutes, then was booked the next morning. We had a driver, Peter, pick us up (early and waiting for us!) from the hotel in the morning and take us to multiple tastings and lunch, then home. We then had Andre pick us up for a dinner reservation in the evening. The cars were immaculate, conversation was great, driving was safe and rates were fair. I will definitely be using Executive Car Service next time I'm in Napa. Thanks again!

If Platypus keeps up the experience we had, that 4.8 will go even higher. Our driver, Gary, was personable and accommodating. He gave us some info along the drive to three boutique wineries, but did not drone on and on as some tour drivers can do. This allowed the 12 of us to chat, get to know each other a bit more and build some rapport. We stopped at three wineries: Rutherford Ranch, Ghost Block and Backstage. Each gave us 4 to 5 tastings. At Ghost Block, we also had a very nice box lunch. By the end of the tour (it was all day), we had all had some wonderful conversations and experienced some great boutique wineries. If you are in Napa, I highly recommend Platypus!
