Outstanding experience with Aniko! She was very knowledgeable about the town of Napa and had clearly invested time and effort to coordinate food and wine pairings at each stop. Walking distance between each location was less than 3/4 of a mile and showcased the town.

Have to admit I was a little skeptical after reading some of the reviews but this turned out to be awesome. We started at a great local bar/deli and ended with desert at an incredible Italian restaurant...READ THE NOTICES-THEY CHANGE OFTEN. There were appetizers and a wine tasting at each location. They are smaller plates with some sharing but I am a 5'6 215 lb fat guy that was plenty full at the end of the night. Aniko was super friendly and knowledgeable. One of the best tour guide we have ever had.

Really nice tour featuring excellent spots in downtown Napa. Aniko was a great and knowledgeable tour guide and gave a lot of the history of Napa along the tour. We visited 5 stops - 3 savory bites with wine, a confection shop, and finally a dessert with wine. The tour took about 3 hours, all walking in downtown Napa, with frequent stops to eat and drink or just for photo ops, so not too taxing. I'd definitely recommend or take another tour.

DO NOT GO...this was a classic bait and switch scheme...while I was *ok* with the places we went to, I was expecting others and the only reason I went was due to those. Quite frankly, if I had known I was going to these locations, I would have chosen a different tour.
*A quick note, the guide (Theresa) was knowledgeable and very nice, its her company we're upset with and hence why this isn't a 1 star*
From the "What to expect" section:
"Your tour guide will greet you at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) for the first of four stops that will compose this gourmet pairing meal."
*Our guide (while knowledgeable) didn't know that this was supposed to be a stop.
Angele's
*Didn't go here
Miminashi
*Didn't go here
Morimoto
*Didn't go here...but oddly enough, we were less than 1 block away because we saw it
Blue Note
*wasn't even told about this by our guide
As stated, classic bait and switch, we got screwed, hopefully you won't be...

Aniko was FABULOUS. Very knowledgeable, conversational, professional, informative, kind & helpful. A couple hours with Aniko… I felt like I’d lived in downtown Napa for years!

Our day was cold and drizzly, we were not expecting to be driving at speed in an open vehicle with no wind protection so our “ warm” clothing was ineffective and everyone else on the trolley were complaining of being cold too. That is weather and our fault for not realizing how cold 35-40 mph with no windows would be. Our driver was trying to be pleasant and funny, but he kept making jokes at others’ expense and saying repeatedly about how poor he is, he was not pleasant to listen to it sounded like one big negative whine fest( take the pun or leave it). He lost two customers when they stayed behind at a stop, they should have told him they were leaving but when he went back for them and found out he rejoined us and dropped the F-bomb about them, bitching. I agree annoying, but maybe make it less negative, the whole tour was soured by his attitude. The wineries were meh, the first one had no personality, they poured wine and that was it, no education about the wine or the winery, the others were a bit better, but wine quality wasn’t high. The highlight for sure was the lunch, I have a dairy allergy so required a special meal, I had excellent food that was very high quality and really appreciated the extra effort that this required for me. We would not recommend this tour.

The article said it was in yountville but then it was in Napa and there was a big festive lots of people and we were planning on yountville t hey rearranged the tour in yountville. The lady was nice but we hardly had any food and it is way to much money for the experience . We split an appetizer in a couple restaurants and the. Each had a taco amd street corn. Not worth the money! Done many of these on the past this is way too much money for what we experienced
