What To Expect

Lake Tahoe

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

Chimney Beach is arguably the most fabulous of Tahoe's undeveloped beaches. Named after the remains of the old caretaker's cabin, this sheltered cove of giant boulders and glittering turquoise waters casts its spell on all who visit. A sometimes steep, half mile hike down is required but persevere and you'll make it. The hidden coves stretching in both directions allow for some degree of solitude.

    What a beautiful audio tour around Lake Tahoe. Our narrator kept us informed about historical notes, as well as giving timely directions. Donner Pass was a moving addition.

    Took some finagling to get it going. Sometimes it cut out. It was made a few years ago, so about two things were outdated. The information was very good.

  • Great Addition for the Trip around Lake Tahoe.

    Excellent commentary all around Lake Tahoe. Many interesting facts, places to see. Small extra excursions. Automatically plays as you proceed around the lake. Also follows in either direction!
