Information great/Technology challenged

4.00Narration, narrator and information was great. Coordination of the starting point and the bluetooth connections not so much. Difficult to figure out how and where to start narration if not on one of the pre-determined start points many mikes away.
Don’t waste your time and money

1.00The itinerary had us backtracking to the wineries that were on it. Much time lost. The indicated start point was listed second on the itinerary. The information provided about each location made no mention of reservations were required, the cost or even estimate cost to get into the winery and have a wine tasting. .
This is a fun driving trip.

4.00Had trouble downloading the trip to the app which you have to download first. But after that had a good time. Loved seeing and hearing about sites in the Napa and Sonoma area besides wineries i.e. the Petrified Forest and Old Faithful geyser of California. We stopped for lunch in Oakville then picked up the tour after lunch.

1.00Was able to download the app and just had to wing it. Was on the weekend and very frustrating. Very poor instructions and difficult to understand and in the end got nothing from it. Do not use.
Wonderful!!

5.00Loved the freedom to start whenever we wanted and spend extra time at our favorite spots. Had fun stories about the area’s history and winery's and pointed out things we'd have missed otherwise. Great value, too! Seriously, if you want to see Napa Valley your own way, grab one.
