Great tour and great guides. Driving the razors through the trails is super fun. Highly recommend this tour. I have done it a couple of times already.

This experience was worth every penny! Nick was an awesome guide. He checked on us several times throughout the experience to update us on where we were headed and to make sure we were comfortable. The views were great and the terrain made the ride feel exhilarating. 10/10 would totally recommend.

    if you are in to outdoor activities and UTVs this is the place for you. Our guide Nick was amazing. He is very knowledgeable of the trail systems in use, well prepared, polite and friendly. Can't recommend him high enough.

    Ken_M, Jun 2026
    Razors were high quality, fast and suspension was really good. Group was experienced , so had fun going through trails and dry riverbed at full speed! Even had extra time to add another quick loop. Real dusty but had air compressor at end to blow some of the dirt off our clothes.

    Choose good driver

    My group enjoyed our ride. It was a little bit scary, but it all depends on who you choose to drive. Our guide was great!

    It’s a bumpy and fun adventure. The tour guide Morgan was great and was very knowledgeable!! We had a great time!

    Now that’s a Razor tour !

    Carl_V, Jun 2026
    Tour of a lifetime if you ask for Nick, and aren’t afraid to let him set the pace! Beautiful scenery, and a real chance to drive if you’re up for the speed. Nick will also make it a relaxed ride if you prefer, but it’s a full speed experience if you can keep up!

    Amazing Views, Great Guide, Fantastic Ride

    Sandra_Z, May 2026
    Our 2-hour Razor Ridge Run tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Lake Tahoe. From start to finish, everything was absolutely fantastic. The trails were exciting and the scenery was incredible with amazing views of the desert and surrounding mountains. What really made the experience stand out was our guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made the tour both fun and safe. He took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure everyone was comfortable, and shared interesting information about the area along the way. His enthusiasm and positive attitude made the entire ride even more enjoyable. The perfect mix of adventure, beautiful scenery, and great customer service. We would absolutely do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Lake Tahoe area looking for a fun off-road experience. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure!

    Highlight of my trip!

    Alexie_C, May 2026
    This was so much fun! I highly recommend you book this activity. Scott & Morgan were our tour guides and they are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend bringing a jacket and even some gloves because it can get a little cold. They give you stops to take pictures, and give you chances for a break periodically if needed. I would do this over and over again and I can’t wait to come back!

    Awesome Awesome Awesome

    Jeanne_G, May 2026
    We had seven ladies from Florida all in our 60s and we had the best time ever. From the time that Scott picked us up in South Lake Tahoe to the amazing two hour ride with Nick as our leader. I don’t think any of us have laughed as hard as we did today. You guys are amazing.!!

    We enjoyed the whole experience! The staff was super friendly! Views were amazing! We had an overall amazing experience! When it was done, we were talking about doing it again!!

    Ton of fun!

    allisong0823, Sept 2025
    Had a great time! Turns every adult into a teenager ( or at least my boyfriend). Know that they don’t pick you up so plan to arrange for transportation. It’s a beautiful ride out there so no complaints. No need to show up early. Small groups so it almost felt like a private tour. Thanks for a fun afternoon.

    off roading in polaris

    Briana_D, Aug 2025
    Every month our husbands have meetings so we entertain ourselves. This meeting was in Tahoe and we were tryin to figure something to do but we did not have a vehicle to drive us. We decided to do an off-roading experience and they pick you up from a hotel. This experience was so much fun and entertaining and didn’t have to worry about getting anywhere . Allison was our guide and we had a blast. I hope to do it again

    Awesome!

    M_H, Aug 2025
    We had an absolute blast on our UTV tour through the desert. You will get extremely dusty so just be prepared for that! You could even wear a gator or mask to keep the dust from getting in your mouth and nose. Do not skip this experience, it is soooo much fun!!

    Bring a bandana

    Greg_H, Aug 2025
    Bring a bandana in case they are out. This is not for the faint of heart and it is dusty. Cory was a great guide and took us to great spots for photos.

    Viator be careful when booking thru them.

    Amber_P, Aug 2025
    Viator the 3rd party booking site gave us the wrong information regarding age limit and we were unable to do the activity.

    Great experience!

    Trudy_M, Jul 2025
    Corey was an amazing tour guide who went above and beyond with our experience. I would highly recommend this adventure for any family.

    Thrilling and exciting visit to the desert.

    Christina_R, Jul 2025

    Exceptional tour; Disappointed with reservation process thru Viator

    Sandra_W, Jun 2025
    Allison was an amazing guide - knowledgeable, professional, personable and engaging. Razor suspension allowed a smooth ride even in rough terrain - much better than an ATV. Beware - when making the reservation - the reservation is for the number of razors - not people. We did not realize that but the vendor advised they would notify Viator of the change and a refund/credit would be issued for the 2nd reservation as we only needed 1 razor for 2 people. Viator advises a refund will not be issued. We trust the vendor will be paid for 2 reservations as that is what we originally paid for. Disappointing that Viator won’t issue refund when vendor said they would. We have used Viator in the past and have recommended them to family and friends … we may rethink that going forward. The Razor Tour company and guide were top notch!

    Incredible I recommend it

    Mailyn_P, Jul 2026
    The guide was incredible, he always asked if we were okay, it is a very fun and exciting route
