We used different apps in the past. I was disappointed because I was hoping it will have more stops on the way. This is basically history app. Will mention few spots on the way. Still worth buying for someone who is traveling first time. It is also little confusing app sometimes. Needs some improvement.

The narration was seamless. As we entered the bubble that pertain to the area we were driving through it would discuss history or something about the region. When we stopped, the innovation stopped. It really was a great way to drive around the lake and learn about all the little towns and landmarks of Lake Tahoe.

Excellent Tour. Learned a lot about Lake Tahoe Area. Enjoyed the Areas where you could stop at and take photos. Highly recommend this tour.

Easy to use and navigate. Allow time to set up. Went on most stops. Areas that were popular we went back early the following morning to avoid crowds. Highly recommend for the “big picture” and to get the “lay of the land”.

Excellent audio tour! Easy to download and excellent historical information! The audio tour started exactly as it said whenever we drove by the point of interest and even included some driving directions when needed. This was an excellent was to start our trip to Lake Tahoe!

Fun tour! Very informative and easy to follow. There were some road detours and construction that made it a bit more complicated than intended but super fun way to explore the region.

We really liked having the audio tour of Lake Tahoe. Regardless of our direction, we heard interesting facts about the Lake and people. It gave us a heads up for stops and ideas that we wouldn't of known where to stop. Well worth the low cost to get it!

Great informative self guided tour. It works really well when driving around the lake. I recommend this tour if you're in the Lake Tahoe area.

It is beautiful to drive around the lake and learn its history at the same time. We were there off season so traffic was minimal.
