From booking to final farewell, working with Grapeline was a pleasure. We booked a private SUV and driver for 6 hours. We gave the booking agent our desired itinerary and timeline. Anthony arrived on time with our itinerary. The car was spotless and the whole day went very smoothly. Anthony was very knowledgeable, flexible and attentive. This is absolutely the way to see wine country if you don’t want to ride a shuttle bus. We will definitely recommend Anthony and Grapeline tours!

As a first time Temecula Wine Tour guest, I really had a great time! Best Coast Temecula Wine Tours was very professional and they answered all of my questions. They were timely in their pick up and the knowledge provided during the tour regarding Temecula Wine history was excellent. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if Joseph is your tour guide! He was amazing!

Reviewed By bll97

Beware of hidden fee. Definition of a gratuity is the option of additional tip for service. Not a mandatory 20% of the full value of the tour. If this is going to be included it should be clearly spelled out in Groupon. "Driver gratuity not included" makes it sound like an option. The three wineries were all nice and good choices. Though we would have appreciated a little history and background on Temecula, the wineries, etc. as your website states. The only information provided was with the $7 pp "upgrade". Though interesting this was a five minute talk and something that should have been part of the service. The pours at the second winery were not larger as advertised when upgrade was offered. The lunch was average, certainly not "gourmet". We didn't even get bread or crackers with our cheese plate. Leah was personable and the driver nice and accommodating. The company policy of not allowing the tour guide to take photos with guests camera phone is a mistake (and opposite of what other wine tours do). Especially when they don't post tour photos for up to four days. Little Bus Tours is missing out on a huge marketing opportunity to have photos posted on social media. Four days later? Who cares? Having been on another Temecula wine tour last month, Little Bus Tours is definitely not the best value for your money.

Highly recommend. I recently surprised my girlfriend with a balloon ride for her birthday, and the experience with Cielo was nothing short of stellar! Neither of us had ever gone up in a hot air balloon before, and my gal was a bit nervous going into it. Her jitteriness soon dissipated, in no small part to the easygoing and clearly competent staff, especially our pilot Erich. His expansive knowledge of local landmarks and their history added a lot to the voyage, and his many anecdotes from years of ballooning had us cracking up. We also learned that Erich has been a lifelong aviation pilot by profession, and I felt 110% in good hands the entire time. After the ride while the crew was hustling to secure and put away the balloon, etc, Erich provided pastries and mimosas and regaled us with balloon tales from history. Great end to the journey! I can't think of anything that could have made our experience more enjoyable: first class outfit all the way. Thanks again guys!

We played two rooms — Conspiracy and Oz — and both are absolutely fabulous! You’re going to want to play more than one game at Mindtrap, so do as we did and plan to have lunch or an early dinner between playing two rooms, or maybe three. ;) Conspiracy is a tremendously immersive experience with meticulous attention to every detail. You’ll feel like you’re actually in that environment. This escape room, in particular, is excellent for team building: you’ve got to work together to find solutions. Oz is SO MUCH FUN with surprise after surprise from beginning to end. It’s wonderfully creative and filled with unexpected challenges. I wish I could play it again. It makes a perfect choice for teens and even children. Think: next birthday party!
