Just got back from a fantastic, fun day over in Martinborough. Rob took a team of 10 of us over the hill for a day of wine tasting in the sun. The van was super spacious and comfy with plenty of storage for all our purchases. Rob is a great guy, friendly, patient and accommodating and really looked after us. Have already booked in our next day out, can highly recommend Executive Private Transport...thanks again Rob
