Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Your photography tour begins with pickup in the South Lake Tahoe area by your knowledgeable guide, who provides an intimate experience that accommodates a variety of photo interests. This small-group tour by luxurious vehicle is limited to six people but often operates with even less participants, so you can count on personalized attention.

When booking, select from two options to suit your schedule and budget—the half-day Ultimate Scenic Tour, which features locations like iconic Emerald Bay and a beach with views of Mt Tallac, or the full-day Grand Tahoe Around the Lake Tour, which circles Lake Tahoe to provide as many photo ops as possible in one day.

Best world class tour experience ever
Ramiro_F

Jim was an excellent tour/photo/historian. Gave us great tips on using my camera as well as taking us to the best photography spots Lake Tahoe has to offer. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area. Jim took great pictures of my wife and I. This has to be one of the best if not the best tours we have ever taken. Thanks again for making this a memorable trip for us.

Great scenery and best guide

The scenery was great, but it was our guide, Mr. Tahoe, that made the trip special. Yes, our guide Darin Talbot has previously been officially recognized as the best guide on Lake Tahoe, and I agree.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Lake Tahoe. After having a tour to Yosemite canceled due to weather I booked this , and am so thankful I did! Jim was an excellent guide and photographer and captured pics of us and took us to locations we would have never been able to do on our own! I would recommend to anyone!
