We had a fantastic time on this tour. There was a minor scheduling issue, but I was notified well in advance and politely asked if we could change the time which I agreed to, so the only thing I can say is there was excellent communication from Bryan! Our captain was phenomenal and super informative. The boat was well stocked with drinks and snacks and we were able to bring our own on board as well. We were greeted on site and given information as to what to expect for our tour. Everything was timely and the scenery was gorgeous. This boat tour was definitely the highlight of our trip we had such an amazing time and our group was talking about it for days after. Will definitely be booking again for our next trip to Tahoe. Thanks again to Bryan and our Captain for a fantastic time!!
