This was a beautiful tour and the self guided tour gave us additional information and history that we didn’t expect to hear.

jackie_E, Oct 2025

The tour was fun and pointed out a lot of landmarks and shared stories that we hadn’t heard despite being in Tahoe for two days already. Would definitely recommend as an alternative to a formal tour!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

So glad you enjoyed it! 🌟 It’s great to hear the tour helped you discover new landmarks and stories in Tahoe. Thanks for recommending Shaka Guide as a fun alternative to a formal tour! 🚗📍

Natividad_A, Oct 2025

Had difficulty following the app unable to see the different tourist attractions that was described in the tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Sorry to hear you had trouble with the app! Could you please share a few more details — which tour you were using and what kind of phone you have? We’d love to look into this and help you see all the attractions described in the tour.

Excellent value. Very good directions.

Dow_F, Oct 2025

Good narration. Very good directions. Picked up where we left off effectively. Some attempts at comedy between some pertinent facts. Excellent value.

Bad.

israel_N, Jan 2026

You're paying for something that doesn't work, bad online explanation, bad experience, you pay for a tour of nothing, I don't recommend it

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha, I’m sorry this experience felt frustrating for you. That’s not what we want anyone to walk away with. Shaka Guide is designed to work as a self-guided audio tour that plays automatically as you drive along the route, but if it isn’t set up or used the right way, it can definitely feel confusing or underwhelming. Because this tour was purchased through Viator, you can request help or a refund directly through your Viator ticket. If you’d like assistance understanding how the tour works or want us to take a closer look at what went wrong, you’re also welcome to email us at aloha@shakaguide.com and we’ll do our best to help. Mahalo, Shaka Guide team🤙
