About this tour

Choose an indoor seat or head outside for open-air views, and use the onboard restrooms during the trip. Champagne is included, while food, other drinks, and a full bar are available for purchase.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.27 from 13 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Lake Tahoe
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.5.
