Alex Ramon Magic Show Ticket, Lake Tahoe
DianeButera, Sep 2026
A wonderful surprise!
My husband invited me to go to the show for our anniversary – 42 years! But I told him I don’t like magic shows He reassured me that it would be good because it was comedy. I cannot believe how good the show was and how special Alex is. I feel so fortunate to be able to say that this was the best magic show I’ve ever seen. He’s such a great entertainer with a huge heart. Best of all his magic is incredible his humor delightful and he really knows how to put on a great show. Thank you so much, Alex!

Alex Ramon Magic Show Ticket, Lake Tahoe
Salina_S, Sep 2026
Overall great experience
It was really easy to find the venue and all of the staff was very nice and helpful. The show itself was so fun and interactive. The magician made sure to keep the crowd laughing and ensured children were able to participate. He had so much patience with the young kids and made sure to let us know that any jokes towards the crowd/audience were strictly out of fun and entertainment to keep the audience engaged. Unfortunately you only get one drink in the venue at the beginning so make sure to grab your drinks before entering. 10/10 would recommend again

Scenic and Wild Nature tour in South Lake Tahoe
Anne_D, Sep 2026
Absolutely Gorgeous
This was a must do activity for us during our time around Lake Tahoe. The views were breathtaking and we learned so much about the lake and this area. Our guide was excellent. We had just 6 people on the tour so it was a nice small group.The breeze was quite strong that morning and it was a physically challenging 3 hours - we were both beat - and we are experienced kayakers. Even after we turned around we didn't really have a tail wind. It might have been easier if we'd rented a tandem kayak.We highly recommend this outing - the sights are fantastic and we found it worth it to have a guide take us out and share wonderful info with us. He didn't take any pics on the outing but we got a few of our own. We were also able to leave a bag at the tent during the outing which was helpful!

Lovely evening. Interesting history and description of the lake and sites viewable from the boat. Service is excellent and food is very good. Tips are not included, but it wasn't clear how to give a tip so I put it on our drink tab.
