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.

Great Tour! - Such a great tour! Chris was our guide. We saw a bear open a car door and get a drink with its mouth! He stopped by the bridge and we got to see all the salmon laying eggs. When I come up , I will take the tour again. If you want to see all the beautiful areas, take this tour!

Lake Tahoe Beautiful Vistas - Saw amazing views all around Lake Tahoe. The lake is simply stunning no matter where you are. Also was glad to get a picture of the Olympic flame at Squaw Valley. Lunch in the town of Lake Tahoe was great & it's a great town that I want to spend more time in on my next trip!

Very informative and scenic tour! - The Stop at inspiration point overlooking emerald bay was breathtaking and seeing the Salmon run at Taylor Creek (which the driver did for us after requesting it was an unexpected bonus since it was a non scheduled stop).
The driver was very well versed in the history of the lake, as well as all the tv shows and movies made there, and movie stars who live in the area. The can was comfortable and it was nice not to have to drive the mountain roads and figure out where to park to see the sights.

Spectacular Views! - Great tour! Spectacular views! Friendly and knowledgeable driver.
The only suggestions I have are charging connections for iPhone/Android phone or ipads.
Plus my wife and I are older and have some mobility issues so a kneeling bus, step stools or driver assistance would be helpful and greatly appreciated for getting on and off bus.
