About Discover Lake Tahoe Audio Tour
Lake Tahoe South/North:
Want to find out how Lake Tahoe earned the title of America’s Most Beautiful Lake? You’ve just gotta see it to understand! This driving tour loops around this dazzling lake and shows you the best vistas and hiking trails along the way, including some that most people miss.
Gaze across pristine waters as you learn about wacky characters who’ve lived here, like a bumbling 1800s stock broker and a guy who insisted on calling his house The Vatican! Plus, dive into the lake’s Gilded Age history and admire the lavish mansions which encircle it, from a viking-inspired Great Hall to a summer estate that once ran entirely on steam power.
Along the way, you’ll pass too many beaches to count, all of them perfect for catching some sun and surf. And don’t forget the trails, where you can experience untouched wilderness, sparkling waterfalls, and nature in its purest form. So what are you waiting for? Jump on in!
Featuring riveting stories, a phenomenal narrator, and easy automatic audio, this app puts exploration in the palm of your hand!

Very glitchy
The app is very frustrating. Just when you start to get interested in a story, the app freezes. Several times I had to restart my phone. I finally closed all other apps running on my phone and that seemed to keep the app from crashing. If you can find another option I would go with that.

Offline Guided GPS Tour
After downloading the free app, you choose for the map you would like and pay. The app downloads the map to use offline. If uses you gps to trigger tour info add different locations. You can go at your own pace. Overall, the tour start out well and worked. But, when we had no signal, the app started freezing. It froze 6 times during the was around Tahoe. I had to restart my phone three times to get the app to start again. Final thoughts: I wish it provided more tour information points and also use less battery. Be prepared to restart the app and phone multiple times during the tour.
