This driving tour is one of a 3 part series we took around the lake. It was a wonderful experience. My husband and I have been coming to Lake Tahoe for many years but had really never spent much time on the Nevada side of the lake and were really surprised at all the incredible vistas and energetic hikes it offered. The tour was very informative. We particularly enjoyed learning about the history of the area. All in all it was money and time very well spent. Highly recommend the tour for anyone interested in getting to know the area a bit better. One other note, the tour offers a free downloadable hiking trail guide of all the hikes found on all three tours. It was very useful; highlighting some real undiscovered gems.

The houses. Was pretty upset the audio did not always work. And when we tried to start at a different point it still started from the beginning. Very frustrating.

We're sorry you had trouble using the tour. There is a resume option that allows you to start the tour from the closest location – but if the closest location is the first location, then the tour will start at the beginning. We'd really appreciate additional feedback because VoiceMap app has an average rating of 4.8/5 stars on the App Store, from over 1,000 ratings, and it's likely that it worked as intended, but not as you expected. That's understandable, of course, and the best solution might be to see if we can update the product description and instructions here on Viator. Could you send me an email at [email protected], to help us understand this review? I'd be grateful.

Nice, easy to listen to. Would do it again. Able to stop and put on hold when we got out of the car.
