My husband and I decided to book Platypus based on the many positive reviews, and to so that my husband did could enjoy wine tasting without having to worry about driving. We visited four wineries in Napa Valley: Sequoia Grove, David Fulton, (oh goodness, one I forgot the name of the third one) and Luna. These are all wineries we... More

I trust the reviews in TripAdvisor. I liked what I read about Platypus and signed up for a tour of the Napa Wine country for May 22, 2013. I told Platypus I wanted a guide who was knowledgeable about the region, the wine and had a personal relationship with the vinyard operators. We met the guide in Napa. The driver/guide... More

My husband and I have taken two Platypus Tours: one in Napa and one in Sonoma. We loved both of them! I enjoy wine and like to explore, but I’m not well-versed in the world of wine. Through Platypus, we were able to visit small, boutique wineries that we might not otherwise have found. In Napa, we went to three... More

We were referred to Platypus tours by our brother-in-law who used them a year ago. We had the most enjoyable time exploring some of the smaller wineries. Steve was very accommodating, knowledgable, and pleasant. The wineries we visited were perfect, the picnic lunch was phenomenal! (We were talking about it long into the end of the day). The accommodations on... More

This was our second Platypus tour, both times with Sam. We had a great time, tried some fabulous wines (actually, tried a lot of fabulous wines!), most from less-known wineries (one not even on the map). Sam knows the area exceptionally well, has a story for everything (it's up to you to decide what's true and what's creative) and ensures... More

Just returned from a week in Napa and a day long tour with Platypus. Loved our tour guide, Steve, and the planned visits to four wineries. Loved the picnic lunch and location chosen for it. Had a great time with the others on the tour. The tour guide/driver was extremely knowledgable and available throughout the day. I found Platypus very... More

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
