I hired Apex for a 6-hour limo wine tour for 6 people, as a birthday/thank-you present to my mom the day after my wedding.  Apex as a whole was friendly, helpful, and very easy to work with.  The price of the trip was *very* reasonable for the service provided, especially considering how much other places overcharge.  I will definitely use Ed and Apex for every excuse I can possibly find.

I particularly want to give a glowing review to Ed, though.  He was so friendly and went out of his way to make sure my parents and family on the trip had such a great time.  None of my family on the tour is from the Bay Area, and all had varying degrees of wine knowledge.  Ed was fun, laid back, and very flexible with the itinerary to make sure they had a blast and didn’t waste time on the way.  For example, Ed suggested a different, better deli to pick up lunch when the one I’d put on the itinerary had a ridiculously long line.  It would have been so much easier for him to just sit in the limo while my family waited in line.  Instead, he took them to a nearby deli that he liked better (I met them for lunch, and I agree it was a way better find!), ordered their sandwiches, then drove them to the next winery to get their tasting/tour started with some baguettes and cheese, went back to the deli and waited for their sandwiches, and then brought them back to everyone at the winery!  I was incredibly impressed.
