Great tour around Lake Tahoe!! - What a wonderful tour! Our guide was so very informative, funny and engaging the whole time! I learned so much about Lake Tahoe, the area, the history, the 1960 Olympics and the people who were instrumental in the development. We stopped the perfect number of times at the most beautiful places around the lake for photos or to walk around. As a first time visitor I really loved the opportunity to get the "lay of the land." Even if you've been here before I think everyone could learn so much by taking this tour.

7 hours of Beauty. - Our tour guide/driver was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Was always available to answer your questions. Give ample time to look around and take pictures. All the 4 stops were worth it. The best part is we had a 2 hour lunch break in Tahoe City and also had a stop at Squaw. The 7 hours went so fast and the cost was well worth it.

What a great day - My husband and I came to Lake Tahoe to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I booked the lake tour because he had never been to Tahoe before. We had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and the tour guide was great. He had so much information about the lake, the various areas around the lake the famous people who live at the lake (past and present). He engaged the passengers by asking questions and getting us to sing songs. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lake Tahoe.

Excellent trip around the lake - Extremely interesting commentary by driver. Related well to the mature audience. Excellent driving skills, comfortable ride, stopped to let faster traffic pass. Glad we took the trip

Outstanding bus tour around Lake Tahoe - My wife and I went on this tour on T 8-27-2024 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide/driver was terrific, very professional, highly informative, entertaining and congenial. The route was very scenic and well paced, with appropriate stops for scenery and restroom breaks. The guide recommended a very good local restaurant, Rosa's, in Tahoe City. The bus was, modern and comfortable; we felt safe travelling though some winding roads at high elevation. The scenic was fabulous!

Great way to spend a day! - This one day tour around Lake Tahoe was a good overview of the area for our first visit to Lake Tahoe. We stopped at beautiful spots and got great insider information from our tour guide/driver. I highly recommend it.

Nice way to spend the day - Our guide was very knowledgable and enjoyed learning the many facts about the Lake and surrounding areas. The fact that he was a scuba diver made it even more interesting. All the stops were good-thought that the time at the Ski resort was a little long as they had nothing really to offer except some pictures from where the 1960 Olympics were. The lunch stop was great-great food (Rosies was highly recommended and did not fail), shopping and beautiful views. Not much that can be done, but wish we had known that the best sitting spots on the bus were on the opposite side of where the driver was as we were on the other side so were not able to see the views of the lake, etc. while being driven around the lake. Just saw mostly the woods and a little of the river/stream. Even when stopped, the people on the other side stood up so it was impossible to look or even take pictures.
