Me and 10 other friends went on the snowmobile adventure. The group was split into two smaller groups. We were fountunate enough to have Danny as our guide. He did a great job of explaining how to use the snowmobile as well as giving a great tour. The tour is geared toward beginners and safety. Don't expect to do any... More

We went on the Hope Valley two hour snowmobile tour and had a great time. From the the office staff, to our bus driver, to our tour guide (Danny), everyone was professional, nice and fun. It was my first time on a snowmobile and the experience was thrilling! The views in Hope Valley are breathtaking. This is a must do... More

Took and ATV tour on the Rubicon with my family. When I called in to make the reservation they told me the Rubicon was world famous for off roading and once we got out there we could see why! The scenery was amazing and the trail was thrilling. We got to the trail head and were geared up with complimentery... More

I would rate this trip a 3.5 but went with the 4 because the guide, bob, was very nice and talkative. The pro's for the trip were: the trail, the easy to use ATVs, and the tour guide. The cons would be a late start due to lack of coordination and a portion of the trail where we went back... More

There were lots of people in our tour but each guide had 8 snowmobiles which was nice to have a smaller group. The most annoying part was they tell us to arrive at 1:30 for the 3:00 tour so we rushed to get there at 1:30, and then we sat there for over an hour until the bus finally came... More

Excellent tour of the Hope Valley in National Forest land. Saw a bear cave and bald eagle and heard some great tales about the history of the region, thanks to Danny the tour guide's obvious love for the area and his job. Danny's excellent experience as a tour guide allowed him to ensure we had the best trip possible. We... More

We had a great time today on our snowmobile trip. Our second time doing this in Tahoe. We enjoyed this company more than last year's. Our guide Dave was great. Made sure we were comfortable with the machine operation. I would reccomend this tour company. We had a blast!

Everyone is very friendly but be careful with the facade. Little guidance and instructions upfront and a small scuff will cost you a lot. I brought up concerns with my ATV beforehand and was brushed off. Ended up going up a small hill with a ditch RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD where I ended up scratching ATV and... More

Awesome experience! The office staff, bus driver, and tour guide were pleasant, organized, and fun and this made our day even more enjoyable. The scenery on the tour was amazing, and the mountain well groomed. We were a party of 6 and we all had a great time. We would do it again, and I highly recommend Lake Tahoe Adventures.
