What People Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Bryan!
He was super knowledgeable on the area, he obviously loves living there and knows all the local good spots.
I enjoyed trying some of the unique brunch items that Tahoe has to offer and highly recommend anyone visiting Tahoe to do this tour!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was the best food tour ever and I've been to a lot. What made it so? Bryan chose great food.
Not the cheap filler food. And Bryan was entertaining. He is a culinary trained Chef and worked at a Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco. So a unique perspective on the food. Highly recommend!!
