Must do! - Loved the narrators voice. Short, informative blurbs every few minutes automatically played as we entered an area. Some parts seemed off GOS a bit but it don’t affect our experience. Love that you can stop and explore along the way.

Great for the right time of year - Nice ride along path. Unfortunately, most places were closed for the season and I did not get to see much. The views were amazing, some of the ride scary. Overall it was an amazing day.

Loved it and highly recommend! - I loved the tour! Not only was it a good source of information, but it also guided as to where to go. It directed me to popular places I might be interested in visiting, and it was like being with a friend who knows the area! I highly recommend, especially in a new place where you don’t know where to start. I will buy these tours wherever I go, from now on …

Easy and Affordable - This is an easy and affordable option giving points of interest, information and history as you circle the lake. I am glad we used the app as we saw things we might have otherwise missed and learned things about the area that we did not know. For the price, you can’t go wrong!

Amazing concept and tour - Self guided tour was amazing, and well-priced. Got to know so many things about so many places around lake tahoe, that I would not have known otherwise. The GPS on this app works good, and automatically detects your location and tells you about that place/area.

Great Information - Our family of 5 enjoyed this and it helped planned some activities during our drive around the lake - We thoroughly enjoyed this self-guided driving audio tour. I don't know that my family was all that into the idea when I first mentioned it, but we all ended up enjoying it. We were able to learn fun facts about the area and plan ahead to stop and check out the views at scenic spots and take photos. I highly recommend this for anyone of all ages. There's a variety of different types of stories - old Hollywood, new Hollywood, mythical legends, pirate stories, ghost stories, American Indian history and tips about the area regarding activities to enjoy.

App unavailable / Good tips - Access to the application was unavailable at the time of starting the tour. But the tips are interesting and indicate places that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Prepare your online account Viator prior to buying - My email confirmation never arrived so I had to call the company twice to send the email. The link they sent me was missing the password to log into the app. It was a miserable experience downloading and preparing an account for Viator and then adding a second app action tour guide. Once both were done the actual tour was good but still missing some important landmarks that should have been discussed.
