Great Lake Tahoe Tour
Wonderful tour. The driver shared so much information about Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area. He's an excellent driver. It is a clean and comfortable bus. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

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.

Nice to have some commentary than just blindly driving through
Miss a few highlights, having to circle back. Prefer to have a little bit longer trip. There's enough time to circle the whole lake

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!
