Had a fantastic day. We enjoyed the scenery and commentary from our driver Diego. We were able to adjust the trip to what we wanted to see. The only catch to be aware of is that if there is traffic on the way home you will charged once you go over the 8 hours. We hit an accident and had to stop so we were charge an extra hour which was another $95 on top.

Lonny was excellent! He was able to add some last minute reservations and recommend additional wineries. One of our faves was a place we weren’t planning to visit but he recommended. Friendly, great driver, go with the flow but professional.

Rather than combining a wine tasting and bike tour, we just rented bikes and did a great 17 mile loop around Napa - it was nice and flat (which was good since it was HOT) and the Specialized bikes were perfect for the job. Tim and Caitlin (I hope I got their names right) were SUPER helpful, did a great job setting up the bikes and gave us easy to read maps. They went above and beyond in making sure the bikes were set up properly and that we had water and guidance. Thank you both for a fantastic experience!

A legacy is handed down over time, through family and tradition. And lots and lots of wine. Robert Mondavi. Charles Krug. V. Sattui. The legacy of these Italian families represents a combined winemaking history of more than 300 years. And some very fine vintages. Some say this is where it all began. And this is where your journey begins.
Inclusions: 4-Course Napa style meal, Coffee and/or Tea, Welcome taste of sparkling wine, 1-hour each, tour and tasting at Mondavi, Charles Krug and V. Sattui
Exclusions: Gratuities, Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase), Souvenir photos (available to purchase)

The trip itself was pretty exciting for the first half and then it got boring. The scenery isn't really great either if you're on the side viewing over the highway. The dinner option might have been better with the night view and the evening atmosphere and all that. My folks liked it anyway. I'd give it a better score when it comes to the memories one is able to retain from the trip. If you want to get discounts (seniors, military, etc.) you must book over the phone. I got screwed over on this because the reservationist failed to mention that fact and I booked online where discounts apparently don't apply. Credit card transactions can't be refunded after the fact so check up on the payment before proceeding.

We booked this private tour with Cardinal Transportation via Viator (Trip Advisor). We were told the SUV was sold out but the sedan was still available. Within 15 minutes of paying $399.50 and receiving email confirmation for our pick up at 9 am the next morning, I received a text message from an unknown number stating that they would not be able to service the tour for at least 48 hours. When I informed this person that would not work for us as we were leaving town in 48 hours the reply was "I'll see what I can do." I never heard back from this person again despite several text messages. I tried calling the phone but the voice mailbox was full and could not accept messages. I called the main phone number for Cardinal Transportation and left a message but never received any call back. A simple "Sorry we can't do it" would have been suffice but to not answer when the pick up time for the tour is within 12 hours is completely unacceptable. We (the customers) were stuck in the middle of your miscommunication with the third party booking agent ( Viator). If you could not accommodate us you should have told Viator that the tour was sold out and take it down from the website. Or perhaps a novel idea...answer someone's text message or phone call. This is terrible customer service. Upon reading other reviews about Cardinal Transportation, this seems to be their modus operandi. I would never recommend this company to anyone.
