Had a wonderful photography tour of the South Lake Tahoe Area. Jim (our guide) is a photog with many years of Tahoe experience. He gave us a lot of local history about the area and was very informative. He was polite, kind, accommodating and knew his stuff. He took pictures of us at all of the different areas and then send them to us a couple of days later. The pics were very good. He showed us some areas that were not as “busy” as other areas but had spectacular views. I would definitely recommend this tour for great shots and local history of the area.

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.

I booked this excursion especially for my husband and he enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide photography expert was super nice and knowledgeable!

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.

We booked this tour and then the owner called and said it was not available because she didn't have any drivers. We were very disappointed!!!

What a great experience with my daughter! It was a perfect day and Jim our guide was awesome and so knowledgeable in the history of Tahoe!
Carol_R, Sep 2023
This was the perfect tour for us. We had one day to see Lake Tahoe and Jim took us to the most beautiful places. He not only advised us on taking our own photos but as a professional photographer, he took photos of us and emailed them to us after the tour.

As longtime residents of Southern California, this was our first trip to Lake Tahoe. Viator reviews led us to this tour and we'd like to add our five star + rating. Dave was our photography instructor, host and guide and we could not have asked for more. He drove us to outstanding vistas (along with some locals secret spots) giving clear and memorable instructions on how to improve our picture taking. The tour included an interesting historical and cultural overview as well as friendly conversation which enhanced our experience. If you are looking for a top notch way to spend your day, begin here! Thank you to Dave and Viator for a truly wonderful tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
