This is the only way you should see beautiful Lake Tahoe. This tour drives almost all around the lake and makes seven spectacular scenic views. Our driver kept us safe and our guide was so knowledgeable and approachable. He knows the area well. And there are plenty of rest stops. I am so glad I chose this tour. You will get your moneys worth.

Wonderful experience. I’m from New England and had no idea what to expect from my trip around Lake Tahoe - it’s like nothing I’d ever experienced before - such beauty. The trip allows ample time to explore sites and take photos . Tony is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Totally recommend this journey.

Everything was smooth from start to finish—well-organized schedule, comfortable transportation, and a knowledgeable, friendly guide who made the experience even more enjoyable. The scenery was breathtaking, with crystal-clear water and stunning mountain views that honestly felt unreal. I had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and just soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area—whether it’s your first time or you’ve been before, it’s a fantastic way to experience the beauty of Lake Tahoe!

Excellent Experience

Mallery_C, May 2026

Trip was amazing! Picked us up right from Silver Legacy. Tour guide Marcus was extremely knowledgeable. We took several stops to view the lake which allowed us to go completely around the lake. Tour was slightly longer than expected. Water and pretzels were provided and we were quite hungry after. Spent about 10-15 minutes per spot enjoying the views and learning about the lake. Recommend bringing Dramamine for the van if you get car sick, you do spend quite a bit of time traveling. Recommend this trip for anyone looking for to visit Lake Tahoe from Reno.
