Great experience. Didn’t expect that it is so much fun to do. It was really something I would recommend. The tour guide and driver were very nice and informative. Everyone in the tour was nice. As the tour goes on and after tasting so many wines, everyone was just laughing and dancing in the bus.

Our tour guide Penny was the best! Very knowledgeable and funny. Taught us things about wine without making anyone feel bad for not knowing certain things. The wineries we visited were excellent! I will definitely do another tour in the near future.
Response from Host, May 2026
Reply from Little Bus Tours:
Antwoine and Barbie, you two absolutely made our day — THANK YOU! 🍷
It was such a joy having you both with us, and I have to say, you were exactly the kind of guests that remind me why I love what I do. When a group is engaged, laughing, and genuinely curious about wine, it makes the whole experience that much more magical for me too!
That is always my goal — to make wine feel fun and approachable for everyone, no matter where you are on your wine journey. There are truly no wrong answers when it comes to what you love in a glass, and you both embraced that perfectly! 😄
So glad you loved the wineries we handpicked for the day — Temecula's wine country never disappoints when you know where to go, and you two were right in the middle of the best of it!
I hope you are enjoying all of the wonderful wines you picked up along the way — and especially that bourbon barrel wine! That one is truly special and I have a feeling it is not going to last very long in your house! 🥃🍷
I cannot wait to see you both back on the bus for your next adventure — we will make it just as unforgettable, I promise. Until then, keep exploring and trusting those palates!
Cheers and so much love, Penny Miller Little Bus Tours | Award-Winning Wine Tours, Temecula CA 🏆

The whole group had a great time experiencing 3 different wineries. Our host was Shawn and he was an amazing. Great experience and will be doing this again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
This is the kind of review that makes our day—thank you! I’m so glad your whole group had a blast hitting three different wineries (that “3 stops, 1 epic day” combo is hard to beat). And yes… Shawn is pretty amazing, and we’ll make sure he sees your shoutout.
Next time you’re back, you know what to do—round two, same crew, and we’ll save you a seat on the bus!
Ernesto_S, Apr 2026
Very helpful driver. Awesome experience. The driver was able to answer all of the questions we had and was able to give us tips on wines at every location we stopped. The wineries were great.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for the review! We’re really happy to hear you had an awesome experience and that your driver was able to answer all your questions and give you helpful wine tips at each stop.

So glad you loved the wineries, and we’d love to host you again anytime!

The driver was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The drive was pleasant. The wineries were not crowed and the poeple pouring the wines were knowable about their craft. We had fun.

Very informative and fun experience. For experienced and beginner wine tasters. The host was charismatic and made the experience memorable. Would definitely recommend 10/10.

Susan_N, Nov 2025
It was a wild and crazy tour day. Penny, our guide, was AMAZING!!! Her knowledge of wine (2nd level somm), history of the regions and great spirit and attitude. We happened to be included with a group of vibrant and beautiful people on our limo trolley. I won’t forget how kind and welcoming our group was and God bless our driver and media specialist that kept us safe and engaged.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for this incredible review! I’m so happy you had a wild and crazy tour day in the best way—and that the limo trolley group turned into one of those rare, unforgettable crews that just clicks.
Thank you for the kind words about me, too. It means a lot that you enjoyed the wine knowledge and the local history—those little stories are such a fun part of the day. And I love that you shouted out our driver and media specialist as well; keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and engaged is always the priority.
We’d love to have you back anytime for another Temecula adventure!
Sandra_C, Nov 2025
Great tour guide with expert knowledge on wine and the local wineries! The trolley that drove us around was updated to be almost a fancy limo-bus that is enclosed with A/C and surround sound speakers which was extra nice bc of all the rain this weekend. We saw another trolley on the road that wasn’t enclosed and everyone looked wet and cold..
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for this review—this made us laugh (and also feel very grateful for that enclosed trolley!). We’re thrilled you loved your guide’s wine knowledge and the local winery insight—that’s exactly what we aim for.
And YES… rainy weekends are when the “fancy limo-bus trolley” really earns its keep: enclosed, warm, A/C when you need it, and surround sound for the vibe. We definitely prefer “dry + dancing” over “wet + shivering.”
Come ride with us again—hopefully in sunshine next time, but we’ll be ready either way!
MARIET_C, Nov 2025
SO FUN!!! We were able to play our own choice of music on the trolley and we danced and danced! The wineries were awesome.. well organized and timed. overall a great experience with a great staff and guide.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
YESSS—this is exactly the energy we love! Thank you for the awesome review. I’m so glad you got the trolley rocking with your own playlist (the dance floor is officially wherever the trolley is).
And we love hearing everything felt well organized and perfectly timed at the wineries—our team works hard to keep it fun and smooth. Come back soon and we’ll do it all over again!

Had fun but it seemed very unorganized and it was pouring rain and hail -it should’ve been cancelled. They took us to the first winery that wasn’t planned and they weren’t ready for us. Pretty sure it was last minute -We ended up staying at stop number 2 and ubering back to the hotel.
