My wife and I have been to Napa for wine tasting several times. We usually drive ourselves, but we wanted to do something different this time. We are really glad that we did! We were staying in San Francisco for a few days, and we were able to take the Baylink ferry from downtown San Francisco to Vallejo (an hour's... more

While visiting California in 2003 I had the opportunity to take a Napa Valley Tour with Platypus Tours Limited. I had heard so much about the famed vineyards and wine cellars of the area I couldn't wait to do the tour. It turned out to be one of the best days of my trip. The professionalism with which the tour... more

We booked a tour for 16 gals who were out in Napa for a bachelorette weekend. The bus was clean & comfortable & our driver (Dorsi) was very pleasant & friendly. He took us to a variety of vinyards, all smaller & off the beaten path- LOVED that! A couple of minor issues you should just plan for if you... more

While visiting California we were guests of my niece on a tour of Napa Valley Vineyards with Platypus Tours. What a pleasure to experience the excellence with which our tour was coordinated. We visited many vineyards, were provided with an excellent lunch and arrived at each destination and back at the end of the tour on time. At no time... more

Have been going to Napa for 20+ years and with Don and Kathy at the helm of this incredible tour, found some of the most incredible wineries that I never knew existed. They specialize in smaller, fun and more intimate wineries. One of these wineries has become my all time favorite for every wine they produce. Be sure to ask... more

We filled a Platypus bus with family members the day after our wedding reception. Our immediate family had traveled from all over the country to celebrate our marriage here in Northern California. Platypus made the day so easy for me, the bride. They planned every detail, we just boarded the bus and had a fantastic day. Even though we ourselves... more

What a fun day! Our guide Don was entertaining and knowledgeable about the valley and its history. Loved the smaller, family-run wineries that they took us to. We would never have been able to find them on our own. We especially loved the homemade macaroni salad served with lunch. Won't hesitate to use Platypus on our next visit. more

Living only 30 miles from the Napa Valley, I have often visited wineries there on my own, so was hesitant to take a bus tour of wineries. However, I went with a friend, am glad I went, and will do it again! The wineries we visited (with one exception) were ones that I had not been to, nor would I... more

The Platypus tour was a great way to experience the Napa valley. I took this tour on my first trip to the Napa Valley and I did not know what to expect of the Napa wineries. We like to drink wine, but admittedly did not know too much about wine. As a first-timer, I was nervous that the wine-lovers and... more
