Traveller Tips

This was much better(and less expensive) than a personally guided tour because we could do it at our own pace and stop whenever we wanted for as long as we wanted.
You sometimes need to watch the map for the numbers as occasionally it didn't play and we went to list and played manually.

Made a gorgeous drive even better
Annie_R, Aug 2023
Made the drive much more interesting with little details. A good mix of talking time and silence to just enjoy the view. It would often say "coming up" as i drove past. So i wasn't able to stop at a few things i would have liked to. When i did stop, i got a little glitchy. Sometimes the clips would start a second or two in. It wasn't a big deal just awkward. Glad i had it though. Learned fun facts I didnt know.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you, Annie, for your insightful feedback! I'm glad our audio tour provided you with interesting facts and added depth to your Lake Tahoe drive. Thank you for sharing your feedback on timing, as it helps me to improve our tours continually.

Self-Guided Tour Around Lake Tahoe
Francis_J, June 2023
It was user “unfriendly”. Please add a navigation along with the narrations so we know where we are.
Response from Host, June 2023
I understand that having a navigation feature and narration would enhance the tour experience. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of this feature. I would like to clarify that after each narration, the app automatically redirects to the map, where you can see your location and follow the provided route. If you wish to see your location at any time during the tour, you can tap on the List/Map button within the app. Please note that the tour you purchased is valid forever so you can listen to it at home or on your next visit to Lake Tahoe. We can also offer an exchange for another tour if you would like. Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with.

Worked perfect. Family loved the history while driving the lake. The East side of the lake doesn’t have much but from S Lake Tahoe up to Tahoe City was really entertaining.
