Full-day Private San Francisco to Napa Valley Tour by Luxury Car

9.Full-day Private San Francisco to Napa Valley Tour by Luxury Car

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 69 reviews · 6 hours (approx.)

Travel from San Francisco toward Napa Valley in a private luxury vehicle for up to four people. You choose the wineries, arrange any reservations, and pay tasting fees separately. Domaine Carneros is the named stop; your driver-guide may offer local pointers, though the level of guiding can vary. Pickup is offered, and the outing lasts about six hours.

“This is a car ONLY setup not a TOUR at all. I had to do all the work to setup the winery tours and itinerary. Clearly the title says Winery Tour. Be very careful, if you know where you want to go and want to setup,all the visits, then consider it. The driver was great and the ride was comfortable but I did not expect to do all the work. Viator needs to better screen its operators. None of the reviews state that you have to setup your own tours. Also, our driver knew nothing about the area and was quiet the entire trip.”

Pick up an e-bike from Fat Tire Bike Rentals at 931 Coombs Street in Napa and set your own pace for a 3-to-8-hour ride.

Daniel has helped riders get on their way quickly, and Chris has assisted with roadside bike trouble.

“Bike shop guy was cool. The bikes work great. The only issue we had was 1 person in our group couldn't make it and they wouldn't refund the money spend for her. Shop owner blamed Viator, viator told me the shop owner denied the refund. Moral of the story is make sure everyone shows up or you lose if you book with Viator.”
