About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 215it0 contributionsSomeone needs to fix the web siteThis has the potential to be a 5 star review, however the instructions on how to start the tour are worse than awful. There needs to be step by step instructions including that you must write down your code, include instruction to include the map you need to down load, the pause option does not work well either. But for $12 I guess it is certainly worth that.Written October 9, 2024
- O4944GRtomw0 contributionsGreat value for the money!!Very nice value and informative. Liked the railroad museum in. Carson City. Would like to see the app display on CarPlay screen but it worked well enoughWritten September 20, 2024
- terrio5760 contributionsA great addition to a special driveReally good and interesting information that made our drive all the more fun. The directions were easy to follow and took us to spots we would have been unaware of.Written September 11, 2024
- Tourist636958259900 contributionsBummerCouldn't use app at all. Even though I downloaded app, when I got to Starbucks starting point, it wouldn't load to the verifying point. Tried over & over. Used Starbucks wifi and still no luck. I used the link for support & got no answer. Finally, after wasting almost 45 min. at Sptarbucks, my daughter went to the sight & paid another $12 to load it onto her phone. Finally, after wasting most of the cool morning hours we had planned for, we could start the tour.Written September 2, 2024
- mark13360 contributionsOff putting when drivingVery hard to follow at the beginning of the tour which was very off putting and dangerous when on the busy highways. Factual information of the area was goodWritten July 29, 2024
- Cruiser7148250 contributionsAwesome experienceWe enjoyed the drive, views and historical background of the places we saw and stopped to see. Guided us perfectly and allowed stops for interesting sites.Written July 18, 2024
- TrailBlazer2394810 contributionsAwesome experienceWe enjoyed the experience of the self guided tour around Lake Tahoe. Lots of different historical stories. I recommend the tour to anyone who likes to do things self guided.Written June 22, 2024
- DARIA W0 contributionsAdventure in Carson ValleyWe really enjoyed the self-guided tour from South Lake Tahoe to Carson City and Virginia City. The information given by the narrator was very helpful and interesting, and the sites that the tour took us to were very cool to us, as we are history buffs; it was nice to go at our own pace. We were surprised to learn about some of Carson City's past residents, and particularly liked the neighborhood of well-preserved Victorian homes. Virginia City will take you straight back to the Silver Rush of the 1850s/60s. Many, if not most of the buildings date back to that era. The steam train tour is available on weekends, and we enjoyed the tour of the Ponderosa Mine. There are plenty of places to eat and to shop for unique jewelry and gifts. I highly recommend this tour!Written May 22, 2024
- Doug R0 contributionsVery informative, enjoyable way to learn about Lake TahoeAn excellent, easy to use self-guided tour offering valuable information & interesting stories of Lake Tahoe and it’s intriguing communitiesWritten September 7, 2023
- wendymch0 contributionsSelf guided tour of Lake TahoeWe did have a bit of trouble getting the self-guided tour started; however, once we got the tour going, it was well narrated and very informative. Hikes, vistas, photo ops, restaurants were all pointed out - giving us enough time to determine whether we wanted to partake in activities offered. The tour paused and resumed on demand. An inexpensive way of learning about the area.Written July 19, 2023
- jameswconrad650 contributionsA great little driving tour from Tahoe City to Incline VillageGreat tour. Loved it. A must do experience for anyone who enjoys Lake Tahoe. Very educational and loaded with fun facts.Written July 14, 2023
- X282OAroberto0 contributionsTahoe Sucks!!Horrible experience. Don’t even think about driving around the lake. Too many people PARKING in the road, too many pedestrians AND bumper to bumper traffic. Was not a good experience at all. And with the number of people in the Tahoe/Truckee area, a peaceful vacation is impossible. I’m going somewhere else next vacation.Written July 10, 2023
- michaelgU9934PE0 contributionsGood but needs disclaimer for winter monthsThe audio tour seemed very informative and interesting. The directions were clear as well. Unfortunately we didn’t find out until we got to Camp Richardson that the route to Tahoe City is closed in the winter. I would do this tour again but maybe have a disclaimer for the winter time.Written March 20, 2023
- Lalena C0 contributionsEasy to use appEducational, interesting and pretty sites to see. Saw parts of Tahoe I’ve never seen before. Liked how it tracked where we were.Written July 25, 2022
- cookjg0 contributionsA Guide with Great Info and TipsWe loved using the driving tour from South Lake Tahoe to Tahoe City! The driving directions were clear and gave plenty of advance warning about lanes to be in. The background info was interesting. The route took us off the beaten path a little and pointed out som locations that we would have skipped. We stopped a few times and hiked. My only trouble was that the app owner said to end the route if stopping for more than a few minutes. I was not able to resume the route and had to download everything all over which was hard in a remote hiking area. But one I got the hang of the features provided, it was great! I plan to use Voice Map again.Written July 21, 2022

We drove around Lake Tahoe leaving the Hyatt around 10 am and returned around 2. For the 1st third of the trip we used this guide. We were amazed at how accurate the turn directions were. The narration was interesting and helped us determine where to stop. We would recommend for anyone looking for some guidance around the lake. There were two other segments available for the entire trek. We elected to go it on our own.

This was our third tour in this series. It was a wonderful addition to our family vacation. Wow, so impressed with all the new things we were able to discover along Lake Tahoe's East shore. Without the tour pointing out the highlights we would have missed a lot! Enjoyed listening to the many stories and history of the area.
We really enjoyed the short hikes at Sand Harbor and Cave Rock. The views from Logan Shoals and Memorial Point were right off the highway and pretty impressive.
Have really only scratched the surface in our exploration of the Nevada side. Nice to know we have this tour to explore even more the next time we visit Lake Tahoe. Being able to also download the free on line hiking map brochure was a real plus. Most definitely worth the price.

This link is so glitchy!!! It was difficult to download everything, and when I entered the code, it took me up an undeveloped trail. Took us a while to have room to turn around. One hour to travel a few miles. Her narrating is also off and out of order. It was a mess. 100% do not recommend.

Hi
We're sorry to hear you had a bad experience. This is usually a highly-rated tour.
It sounds like you might not have started the tour from the starting point or that you tried to do the tour in reverse. The GPS should track your location and play audio at the right time and place. If there was an issue and it wasn't tracking your location, there's usually a reason for that.
Thanks,
Alicia

This was a perfect, day long outing for my wife and I. The technology worked great and the narration was helpful while not excessive. The tour showed us to places that we might have missed. It was a great day!

Much better than expected. The tour was informative. Better than being on a bus with a crowd of people
We will do more of these.

Great self-guided tour. Lots of interesting historical and cultural information. The technology was amazing, with the narrator speaking only when we reached a designated point.

It didn’t work!! I tried several different times and ways to download it but it wouldn’t show up in the app. It didn’t have any problems charging my credit card, however!

The tour gave an interesting history of area including the fire that destroyed the Tahoe Queen. We took a trip on the MS Dixie.

The narration was fine. It really kept up with where you were. The only thing we found confusing was the starting point.

It appears that this an app that is downloaded to our phone. Rather than head phones can we just utilize the speaker on our smart phone as we drive and during the walking part of the tour? Since this is self guided could we split the tour over multiple days?
