We weren’t told the...

We weren’t told the trolley had been replaced by a van, and so then the van left without us. So our guide Michael said I would be reimbursed for the $25 uber ride to the first stop.

Operator response

We do apologize for the inconvenience that our trolley broke down the morning of the tour. As historic vehicles, these things do happen unexpectedly. You should have in fact been compensated for the UBER. If you have not received your refund, or have additional feedback, please contact us at info@sonomavalleywinetrolley.com. Cheers!

Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour and day spent with Michael as our driver/guide and Craig as his sidekick (in training). The day was wonderful visiting 4 different wineries and Michael and Craig both provided excellent comments with a little history along the way. Very entertaining and informative. The other groups on the trip provided additional enjoyment and made the whole trip better, met people from different parts of the country. Overall highly recommended and would do it again when back in Sonoma
