Tours are a great way to explore the Lake Tahoe Basin and
nearby areas. Guided tours leave all the planning and driving
to someone else so you can just go along for the ride and enjoy
yourself. Self-guided tours let you do the planning and driving
so that you can see as few or as many sights as you choose
on your time schedule. Either way, you'll be able to see a
lot more in a lot less time!
