Lake Tahoe Chef-Led 4 Course Progressive Dinner Tour

Janeane_A, Sep 2026

Walking Dinner Tour

We enjoyed the mix of local history along with the walking tour of international flavors that the restaurants provided. Brian was engaging and made it easy for us to connect with the other travelers in the group. Have a nice day. My friend who is not a "foodie" was trying some flavors and dishes for the first time and Brian made her feel comfortable. I would recommend this experience and recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes and dressing in layers.

Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic Cruise

Lake Tahoe cruise

Great scenery. The audio narration was hard to hear on the top deck. Restrooms were clean. We didn't try it, but the food service looked good. Would recommend to anyone coming in the summer. After Labor Day there is only one sailing per day.

It was a really great experience! Jason was great! I learned a lot about the lake, it was a clear night so the stars were really visible, and we got to see some cool animals! (Beavers, muskrats, and bats) would definitely recommend!

Lake Tahoe Evening Dinner Cruise

Russ_S, Sep 2026

Nice Dinner Cruise

Had a really good time and dinner. Especially enjoyed the after-dinner cruise around the bay and the history attached to the area. The dining area was quite loud before dinner was served making it difficult to hear announcements over the PA system. The wait staff was on point. Once orders were taken it was a short while before they started serving and the food came out hot and very quickly considering the number of people who were served,

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!
