Review of Napa Valley Wine Train

Ambassador Tour with lunch. I feel it was overpric...

Ambassador Tour with lunch. I feel it was overpriced at over $600 USD for 2 people (wine & tips extra) with less than 2 hours on the train and remaining 2 hours mostly in a shuttle or doing quick walking tours. Fun experience but too rushed to eat nicely and views were good, but not as good as expected. The train runs along the road side and not thru the hills or fields at all. Wine served on the train is extra cost above your ticket, meal and tour fees. Tips are also encouraged and posted as not included in various places. Moving from one car for food to the next for dessert and tea was interesting only in that it allowed us to see more of the train. You get walked thru the spaces but no explanations or history shared. Also train is a one way ride...Once you get to the 1st winery in your selection you get off and the train ride is over. You then reach your tours at each location shuttled around by mini bus and then back to the main station. You get more time on the train and a return train ride to the station on some other tours offered but the costs are even higher at about $368 each. Its probably a better value than the one I took. Also options to stay on train to with lunch 3hrs starting at $250 per person but no winery tours included...still pricey for what you get in my opinion.
