Excellent Experience - Trip was amazing! Picked us up right from Silver Legacy. Tour guide Marcus was extremely knowledgeable. We took several stops to view the lake which allowed us to go completely around the lake. Tour was slightly longer than expected. Water and pretzels were provided and we were quite hungry after. Spent about 10-15 minutes per spot enjoying the views and learning about the lake. Recommend bringing Dramamine for the van if you get car sick, you do spend quite a bit of time traveling. Recommend this trip for anyone looking for to visit Lake Tahoe from Reno.

Wonderful Lake Tahoe Tour - We had a wonderful Lake Tahoe tour with Tony. He was very kind, and the car was comfortable and high quality. We stopped at many scenic spots around the lake and almost completed a full loop. It was a beautiful day in an amazing place. Tony even dropped us off directly at the train station, which helped us make the most of our time. Highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful day for Lake Tahoe - I took this tour while staying in Reno. My driver and guide, Marcus and Tony, were excellent and made the day very enjoyable. We drove almost the entirety of Lake Tahoe with many stops along the way. Both were very accommodating to my requests. I didn’t even realize I left my coat in the van and Tony kindly returned it to my hotel. I highly recommend this tour for nature lovers!
