Viewing the best of Lake Tahoe with an great guide!! - This was a wonderful tour. Our tour guide/photographer (Jim) provided an excellent experience. We enjoyed all the scenic locations we visited. Jim provided interesting and entertaining commentary during the driving portions of the tour and at each stop. He was so knowledgeable about all aspects of the Lake Tahoe area, and we learned a lot about the history of the area and about the land and trees. We appreciated his outstanding photo skills and the fact that he both took professional pictures and sent them to us, as well as being willing to take pictures with our camera phones. We highly recommend this tour to anyone, and we would take it again if we visit Lake Tahoe during another season.

Excellent tour! - Jim was very knowledgeable of the area. The information he shared was very interesting. We loved the areas around Lake Tahoe he took us to, especially the non touristic areas. This was one of the best tours we have ever taken. Jim was very friendly and accommodating. He is excellent.

A 5 Star Experience! - This tour was the highlight of our trip! We considered renting a car and going sightseeing ourselves until I saw this tour on TripAdvisor. Trust me when I say: this is the way to go! Stephanie, our guide/photographer, was amazing. Her love for the area, nature, and wildlife is apparent. She drove us to some of the most beautiful spots around the lake. In addition to her taking our photos at each location, she took the time to give us the history of each area. She also pointed out bear claw marks on the Aspen trees, beaver dams and an eagles nest. She also took us to see the salmon spawning. Absolutely amazing! The trip was relaxing. Almost like taking a stroll and catching up with an old friend. Stephanie goes at your pace and you never feel rushed. She allows plenty of time for you to take in the sights. We plan on returning to the South Tahoe area with our family and I look forward to booking another tour with Stephanie!

Easy Tour with Amazing Highlights - This tour was fantastic! Our guide was Jim, and he took us to a nice mix of historical, nature, and even a “secret” place. Along the way, he filled us in with history and relevant facts. He was also super helpful and patient in helping me with camera settings and tips. The small-group size (there were four of us) was an added bonus. This tour is worth every bit of the price.

Best money ever spent. A must do tour - I don’t even know where to begin with this tour. It was outstanding from beginning to end. Doesn’t matter if you are a photographer or hobbyist or just want a couple I phone pics in nice places. The tour was a mix of history, geology, scenic beauty and some photography teaching and tips on either your phones or a DSLR. Jim took several professional photos in the spots and sends them back to you edited. The knowledge of the history and geology of the area was impressive. Jim took us to some less traveled and secret spots with amazing vistas. This tour has something for everyone and Jim was absolutely delightful.
