What a wonderful tour! Our driver Josh was great! He made every effort to make sure that everyone on the bus had a good time! His selections of smaller Napa wineries were terrific. And he prepared us a very nice lunch. The buses looked new and very clean. Highly recommend this tour!

My mom & I had a great time on our join-in tour! Our group was fun and Tour Guide Greg was awesome. We enjoyed touring a variety of vineyards. Lunch was great and our views from the lunch vineyard were incredible. I’ve already recommended Free N Easy to a friend and will continue to do so!
