Lake Tahoe Bus Tour - Bus driver was entertaining and route was well planned. A phone was left on the bus and driver went above and beyond to return it.

Tour around South Lake Tahoe - My family and I took a 6 hour tour with Chris and it was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the area and kept us engaged the entire time. He knew all the perfect spots to go to for photos and kept it interesting. The scenery is beautiful and breath taking! Definitely would recommend.

Pleasant informative trip! - This trip around Lake Tahoe was absolutely perfect! We started out by being blessed with sighting 2 maybe 3 bears in a wooded area. This was very exciting! Our tour guide was full of great stories and Tahoe information that he shared with us around the lake. His knowledge and his ability to share in an entertaining way made our trip very pleasant. I have made this trip before and I will again hopefully in the future. I highly recommend this experience.

Tahoe Lake view trip - Overall a great way to see Lake Tahoe and Squaw Valley in 1 day. Trip was a bit long (7 hours) and did get redundant with too many similar lake view stops. Shorten lunch to 1 hour. Tour guide comments well done.

Great for sightseeing around the lake. - This is a great experience to see what other parts of the lake have to offer and can't travel on your own.
Pros: affordable for the experience, amazing vistas, good for picking a 'jumping off' point if staying at or near lake tahoe for several days. There's a good amount of varied commentary on the history of the lake and the area surrounding it while going from stop to stop.
Cons: For some, the timeline of the tour might be too constrained to see certain places. You're on your own for food and drinks. Consider taking water at the bare minimum.

first trip to Lake Tahoe - Seeing Emerald bay. The view from above was breathtaking. Also seeing the lake at a lower level was amazing. Could see right to the bottom.
