Small tours are always... - Small tours are always the way to go. Very personalized. Our tour guide Jim was nice and made sure each and everyone of us are educated about the history of each site. The professional photography was a nice touch of course.

The Most Stunning Views of Lake Tahoe - We had an amazing experience on the scenic photography day tour with Jim! He was an incredible guide, leading us to some of the most iconic and breathtaking viewpoints around Lake Tahoe. His deep knowledge of the area made the tour both educational and engaging, and we learned so much about the history and beauty of the lake. Jim also shared fantastic photography tips that helped us capture stunning shots throughout the day. His passion and enthusiasm were contagious, making the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Lake Tahoe while sharpening their photography skills!

Fantastic tour of Lake Tahoe! - Jim was pleasant, personable and very knowledgeable about Lake Tahoe - no matter what questions we threw at him. The tour covered a variety of interests - nature, animals, geology, history, vegetation, and of course the breathtaking beauty of Lake Tahoe. We thoroughly enjoyed each stop on the tour. Jim gave us a great sampling of the main places to see. Plus we appreciated the photography tips and the understanding that we want to capture as many great scenes and vistas on camera as we can. We really appreciate Jim taking photos of us and sharing them with each of us. That was icing on the cake (and thank you for the water and the comfortable transportation too). This tour with Jim, my sister and the nice lady also on the tour, felt less like a tour and more like a group of friends exploring Lake Tahoe together and learning from our friend Jim. Excellent job! Thank you, Jim!

Great Photos - Katie was great!!! Going super early to avoid the busy season was really smart. She took us to some hidden places for photos and talked about the history of Tahoe! Still cannot believe how clear the water was and the reflection. They will email you photos a few days after this tour

More than memories: A tour of history, stories, and photography - My family and I couldn’t be more thankful to Katie for the experiences, history highlights, and sharing of stories. The experience inspired me to go from a casual iPhone photographer to purchasing a camera to capture memories with. 10/10 I would recommend to a friend, and you don’t need to be a photographer! Cheers!

The most phenomenal experience 🫶🏻 - We went as a family. Jim, our tour guy was phenomenal. Jim was very knowledgeable, and patient. Let me just say if were not planning to like Tahoe, well now we want to move in. He showed us the most gorgeous areas. We got to see the lake, the mountains, the waterfalls, even bears. I never thought we will get to experience anything as beautiful as Lake Tahoe. Thank you, Jim. God bless! I highly recommend this tour, and we will be back to do it again as well. We loved it 😍

You DON'T want to MISS THIS! - This tour is worth it's weight in GOLD! Not only did our Tour Guide take us to beautiful locations where we could take photos but he took several photos of us in different locations and emailed us full resolution photos.
The guide shared with us history of the locations, the area and even helped me (a hobbyist nature photographer) learn how to use my camera to capture my bird subjects even better.
This was certainly a HIGHLIGHT of our time in South Lake Tahoe!

A unique family experience. - The day was more than we expected. We highly recommend the day though the price gets expensive with no family discount per individual.
We did not yet receive the photos taken by our guide, as promised. We await the photos.

Tour operator never showed up - Waited 90 minutes and no one showed for the tour. I made calls, emails and chat texts with no response until 45 minutes after the tour was to start. The tour operator stated she never received the reservation from Viator. She only offered to do the tour the following day which would not work. We did get a refund. But this was a complete fail and ruined day. In speaking with Viator they stated it was the tour operator’s fault and not Viator’s. I suggest not booking with this tour operator. They are highly unprofessional and unorganized. Do you want to take a chance on planning a 6 hour tour and have no one show up even after numerous reminders and payment made?

Short Notice Cancellation - Operator called 6pm night before scheduled tour to cancel. Very short and very rude. She said they could not find a tour guide. If I had cancelled this late they would have kept my money. After several successful experiences, I’m now DONE with Viator!
