Loved the guidance and info! Made the drive around Lake Tahoe so interesting and informative!

The narration was great. The music was a little lame. And while not your fault, there was some pretty serious delays caused by road construction and a number of places we couldn’t go to because there was no parking

I’ve lived near Lake Tahoe and have since visited every year and this is the first time buying the Shaka guide around the lake. Wow, what a treat! Learned a few new things and tips along the drive.

Great tour! Have used the app in Yellowstone and Hawaii and it is great! Informative and an easy way to explore new places. Definitely recommend for your next journey to a new destination!

It was very well done! Can’t thank enough. We have done Hawaii also through Shaka.

UPDATE: Based on the developer’s response, I updated my review from 4 to 5 stars. My concern was not a software change, but a deliberate choice based on their desire to make the journey around Lake Tahoe scenic and safe. Thank you! Last year (2025) we loved the Shaka Guide we bought for the Redwoods in California. This year, I bought the guide for the Lake Tahoe area. The content was excellent and very helpful, but one new change confused us and made it almost impossible to use. The guide would only play in numerical order for the various points of interest. It would not reverse itself based on direction of travel. Last year, it would switch itself whether we were driving northbound or southbound. I had to manually choose the info to play when we were going “backwards” and we missed several points because of the confusion. Of course it’s possible I was using the app wrong. 🤦‍♀️ If that’s the case and there’s a setting I should’ve changed, it wasn’t obvious in the settings. Despite this, I will still recommend Shaka Guides to friends and family.
