Well worth the time and money for the day - Prompt pick up at selected site. Great informative narrative throughout day. Plenty of bathroom breaks, good lunch site recommendation in Tahoe City (Rosie's). Booked this trip after reading reviews and recommendation by another reviewer that this trip should be for day 1. Very glad we did. First trip to Lake Tahoe.

Around the Lake - Guide was very informative. Great to see the Lake from all vantage points. Would definitely recommend. Only minor complaint was that we had to meet at the Golden Nugget Casino & parking cost $25

Amazing Historic tour of Lake Tahoe - Our tour guide Nevada Smith was very knowledgeable about Lake Tahoe, the History and important facts. We appreciated his narrative and stops we made throughout the trip. My husband and I would not have wanted to drive this ourselves. We highly recommend this tour!

Viator does not support clients . - We unfortunately we’re not able to take the tour because American Airlines canceled our connecting flight going to Lake Tahoe on Monday. I called on Monday to cancel the tour since we would not be making it to Lake Tahoe. We were in flight all day and unable to be reached. But did let Viator that scheduled the trip know that we would not be able to make it due to flight cancellation. The tour decided not to refund our fee. We were very unhappy with that decision since it was not our doing, it was American Airlines. They said American Airlines shared refund, which you know that would not happen. Via tour should have refunded to keep their customers happy and in good standing. Hard to give a full review of the tour experience since we did not go, but because there was a hitch with our plans due to flight cancellation, the tour operator was not understanding. Very unhappy!!!!!!
