We took this tour on Saturday, August 18. Initially I had only booked this for my wife, but on Friday, I decided that I would also go along with my 2 little kids. I called Keith and left a message through his mother-in-law who was very polite and assured me that Keith or his wife would get back to me soon. Sure enough, Keith's wife called about 1 hour later and was very accommodating. She quoted $25 for each kid and $125 each for my wife and myself, which was reasonable. There were 3 other people booked on the same tour, but it was our good fortune that they canceled, so the tour was only for our family. We arrived about 10 minutes late and I apologized to Greg, our tour guide, but he was very gracious about it and said at least we were there and we departed immediately. What an experience we had !!
Greg took us to 5-6 places and covered a lot of area. Each location was very different from the other and all locations had one thing in common - they all provided fantastic views and photo opportunities. Greg is an excellent photographer and very knowledgeable about the entire Lake Tahoe area including its history and each location that we visited. We had lots of questions for him and he answered each one patiently. He shared a lot of information about the trees, wildlife and even about photography. We took a lot of pictures and Greg clicked a lot of photos of us against all backdrops, with his camera and ours as well.
I can safely say that this was the best tour I have taken in my life and that I would not have seen most of the places that we saw on this tour, by myself. We are eagerly waiting for the CD to arrive and I am sure the wait will be worth it. I have spoken to Keith a few times on the phone and what has struck me each time is his genuine desire to provide us with a very good experience. They are very nice people and possess excellent knowledge about the area and photography. As far as I am concerned, this is an unbeatable combination.
I would recommend this tour to everyone. It is money well-spent and I will definitely do this again when I go to Lake Tahoe next time. Thank you Greg and Keith for a memorable experience.
