A great value for a full-day trip. - Overall, I found the experience to be a great value. The tour guide and driver were top quality, and the scheduled break times were completely sufficient throughout the trip.

Worth it - We almost skipped this because we thought we could just pick our own restaurants. I’m so glad we didn’t. Every stop was different, the food was incredible, and Bryan shared stories about the area and each restaurant that made the whole experience feel personal. We left completely full and discovered places we never would have found on our own.

Lake Tahoe circle tour - We got picked up at our resort right on time. There were about 45 people with us. Our driver was very friendly. He had lots of information about the area. He was filled with trivia information about the history of the area and its residents--both past and present. He had lots of statistical knowledge--size of Lake Tahoe, gallons of water, etc. Weather cooperated but for a little bit of rain. There were several stops for leg stretching and photo taking. Lunch break in Tahoe City was great. Would highly recommend.

Disappointing but adequate - All around okay tour. One of you are disabled there are a few stops that are pretty challenging do to parking location and view points. Guide informative but too informative about burning man dust. Gide imo,ied my husband was my Dad ( not great form) . stops were limited to 20 minutes. We were directed to only one restaurant in Tahoe city, glad we didn’t listen went to Za’s down by the pier and had amazing food and beautiful view of Lake Tahoe and saw the dock. And the stunning view of all of Lake Tahoe.
