Excellent time

We had such a great time on this adventure! I would recommend. We visited a total of three wineries which were all great only downside was that the two last wineries were crowded and waiting in long lines for our tasting was not fun. Other than that it was great!

Response from the operator: 🎉 YAY! We are SO thrilled you had an amazing adventure with us! Reviews like this make our whole team do a happy dance! 🕺🍷 We LOVE that you got to experience three incredible wineries — Temecula wine country never disappoints! And thank you for the honest feedback about the wait times at the last two stops. We completely understand — no one wants to spend their wine adventure standing in line when there's so much delicious wine to sip! We'll definitely keep that in mind when planning our future tours so we can keep the good times flowing as smoothly as possible. 🚐✨ We hope to have you back on the bus again soon — next time will be even better! Cheers to you and your crew! 🥂🍇 — The Little Bus Tours Team 🏆

Not a Trolley Tour

This is not a trolley tour. Do not be fooled. There are many pictures in the website that lead you to believe it is a trolley. It is not.

Response from the operator: We appreciate all feedback, but we must respectfully address several inaccuracies in this review so future guests have the full picture. Your group booked a "Guaranteed Go" ticket, which means your tour departs no matter how many guests are booked — whether it's 2 guests or 24. You booked on a Thursday, which is a slower day for wine tours. Your party of 4, plus 2 additional guests, brought the total to 6 guests for the day. The information you state was missing is, in fact, clearly listed on the booking page you used. Under "What's Included," the vehicle is explicitly described as: "Limousine Trolley, Limousine Bus, or SUV transportation based on number of total seats booked." This is not hidden — it is part of the standard listing details that every guest has access to before booking. We have confirmed directly with the third-party platform, and the listing shows exactly what was included and excluded at the time of your reservation. As you acknowledged to us directly, you did not read the full description prior to booking. It is not the responsibility of our company to ensure that guests who book through a third-party system read the information provided to them. Based on the group size — exactly as the listing states — you were transported in our Mercedes Sprinter Limousine. You received the full tour experience: 3 wineries, tasting cards at each stop, guide, photos, and bottled water — everything described in the listing, plus a personal charcuterie box for each guest. We were paid $107.20 per guest. To clarify how a "Guaranteed Go" ticket works: your tour is guaranteed to depart no matter how many guests are booked — whether it's 2 guests or 24. We are one of the only companies in Temecula that will run a tour at this price for as few as 2 guests rather than canceling the night before due to low bookings or charging a higher rate. We offer multiple vehicle types specifically so we never have to cancel a tour for low seat sales — something most other companies do routinely. The vehicle used is matched to the total group size for the day, as stated in the listing. Our trolley does run most days where at least 14 seats are booked and has not been already booked out private this vehicle seats 24 guests. Sprinters seat 13. Our Trolley is one of only two fully limousine trolleys in Southern California featuring a bridal balcony on the back where guests can step outside and enjoy the ride with the other one located in Sandiego. Our website and marketing showcase our full fleet — trolleys, limousine buses, and Sprinters — because we offer all of them depending on group size. That is not misleading; it is an accurate representation of the vehicles we operate. We have been running tours in Temecula for over 11 years and are one of the only companies that operates 7 days a week, offering both shared/open-seated tours and fully private tours. If you had let us know that your group of 4 on a Thursday wanted to ensure going out on the trolley, we would have happily booked the vehicle privately for you at the appropriate rate and run it for your group. Instead, you booked the most economical ticket available — which still includes the full tour experience with a personal charcuterie box for each guest — and you booked it through a third party rather than reaching out to us directly. Had you contacted our booking agent or me directly, we could have answered any questions and made sure you understood exactly what you were booking. We strongly recommend that all guests booking through platforms such as TripAdvisor, Viator, Groupon, GetYourGuide, and similar sites also take the time to visit the service provider's own website and contact them directly with any questions. That way, when you don't take the time to read everything the third-party platform shows you, you won't be surprised when the experience is different than you expected. There are four trolley companies located in Temecula, and all of us operate differently, with different minimum seating requirements for each vehicle type used. Finally, you were sent clear instructions via Viator to use the provided link to fill out your waivers before your tour. You did not read any of the emails sent to you or follow the instructions provided to ensure your group was checked in correctly before arriving. Because third-party platforms do not provide contracted companies with guest email addresses, we are only able to reach you by sending emails through them — and you were sent multiple, none of which you reviewed. We delivered exactly the tour experience described at booking. We welcome a direct conversation if you'd like to discuss this further, but the review as written does not accurately reflect the product, the listing, or the service provided. — The Little Bus Tours Team

Super fun and went to...

Super fun and went to wineries we hadn’t been to before. Kurt was a great host. We definitely recommend!

Response from the operator: Thank you Brian We love hearing this! 🍷✨ Discovering new wineries is one of the best parts of the experience — Temecula's wine country is full of hidden gems just waiting to be explored! Kurt is absolutely one of our favorites and we know he had just as much fun showing you around! 🥂🎉 He'll be so happy to hear the kind words! Thank you so much for the recommendation — it means everything to a small, family-run business like ours! We hope to see you back on the trolley soon, ready to discover even MORE amazing wineries! 🚌🍇 — The Little Bus Tours Team

Fun trolley ride and excellent wineries

Super fun experience, the trolley was very nice, appreciated the AC this time of year! Fun way to get to the vineyards, complete with guests choosing songs to play on the trolley along the way, since we were joined by a bachelor/bachelorette group, it was definitely a party atmosphere. My mom and I had a blast just watching them, ha! The three wineries were all excellent, good wines and great service. Our guide and driver were exceptional hosts, knowledgeable and friendly and took great care of us. Highly recommend if you’d like a fun way to check out multiple vineyards! Pace yourself on the drinking if you want to be upright at the end, six tastings at each of three vineyards definitely adds up!

Response from the operator: YES! This is exactly the kind of day we live for! 🎉🍷🚌 We LOVE that you and your mom got to witness a full-on trolley party in action — honestly, those spontaneous moments are what make every tour one of a kind! A bachelor AND bachelorette group choosing the soundtrack? That's peak trolley energy right there! 🎶✨ So glad the AC was keeping everyone cool — Temecula summers are no joke, and we've got you covered! ☀️❄️ It sounds like our guide and driver absolutely nailed it, and we couldn't be prouder. Knowledgeable, friendly, and keeping the good times rolling — that's the Little Bus Tours way! 🥂 And we have to say… your pro tip about pacing yourself? GOLD. Six tastings times three wineries is no small feat — consider yourself a certified wine tour veteran! 🏆🍇 We hope you and your mom come back and join us again soon — maybe next time YOU'RE the ones picking the songs! 😄 Thank you so much for the amazing review and the high recommendation. It truly means the world to us! 💛 — The Little Bus Tours Team 🚌🍷
