Booked a private limo wine tour months in advance. One month prior to the tour,I requested specific wineries and they said they would be able to visit the three requested. The day prior to the tour, we received a call saying that they were unable to go to one of the three we booked. I didn't understand why the last minute change. They weren't able to give a proper explanation either. They just said they would call us later to make our experience better which did not happen.
We were asked to give lunch orders 17 days prior to the tour. I don't understand why the advance notice when the items on the menu are salads and sandwiches. This didn't make a difference because on the day of the tour, they changed the orders and gave us rinky dink dry boxed lunch sandwiches (not on the original menu) that didn't even come with items promised and didn't give us a choice. Every meal was supposed to come with an assorted salad, seasonal fruit cup, dessert, condiment packets and a piece of chocolate or mint. Instead the sandwich came with a bag of chips and five pieces of chocolate (for six girls), no condiments, no fruit or salad. The extra money spent on lunch was totally not worth it.
The limo's auxiliary cable was not working . The limo driver couldn't figure it out. I was determined to figure it out. Who wants to ride a private limo without music?!! After we told him to forget about it, and messing around more with the wire, if the wire was in a certain position, it played. This made it difficult to relax when you're trying to listen to music and get in the party mood when every few seconds the music stopped and you had to wiggle the wire and it would play again.
The limo came with 5 bottles of water over ice when there were six girls on the trip. Talk about cheapo!
This tour group is very disorganized. I do not think it's worth the $140 they charged per person. There are plenty of other tour groups that are better reviewed and less expensive. I recommend they pay attention to details and get better organized.
On a positive note, our driver was pleasant and the ride was comfortable. The driver was a driver. He did not stop to discuss winery history or other details. He just made sure we received our tasting tickets and told us when to be back. So don't expect a "tour guide".
I would not use this tour group again. read more
