What a great experience! I went on the Fairy Trail with my son and his wife and their almost…read more6-year-old daughter. She loved every minute. Wandering down the trails to find all the little vignettes was fun and then we enjoyed meeting all the animals and feeding them treats. Hard to pick any favorites amongst the animals but the little goats were a big hit since they were so easy to interact with. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and we appreciated the popcorn, cider and water snacks. I'm not sure if we actually found all the items on the "treasure hunt" but they kindly allowed my granddaughter to pick a "prize" anyway and she loved the purple magic wand she chose. One difficulty is that there is no restroom, not even a portapotty. Given the location that is not good as it is quite a distance to get to any place with a public restroom. Another is that there is no way to contact the venue by phone if you have questions. I almost didn't go because I was a bit late and the confirmation I received said that we had to be there at our specific time with no ability to change it. Fortunately my son was able to email them and ask if I could catch up to them on the trail if I arrived a bit late and they responded quickly enough that I didn't have to turn around and go back home (my drive there was two hours).

The older kids and other adults in the walk had as much fun as we did. Two reservations from us adults--they need a Portapotty in the parking area and the walk was a little too long for our youngster. Easy to get to from Sacramento area.

From the moment we met Karen who is the owner, we just knew we were in good hands. She takes the time to meet with you and learn about your child's needs and routine followed by placing you with the perfect fit. And boy did she! She paired us with Karlee who was such a doll. Our son instantly gravitated towards her. I love Karen's motto of "having peace of mind" because that's what we felt each time we took off to enjoy skiing or a date night. Karlee would send us photos and videos of our son and always kept us informed on what he was doing. If you are traveling long term or short term and need QUALITY childcare look no more. We look forward to our next visit and using Lake Tahoe Nannies in the future.

We had our elderly grandmother with us and the guide led her horse and stayed right next to her the entire time.

I wish I had listened to the negative reviews before booking. Unfortunately, our experience matched…read moremany of the concerns other people have shared. From the moment we arrived, the staff seemed disorganized and unprepared. We were surprised to learn they only accepted cash or personal checks, despite our group asking multiple questions when making the reservation and even calling again the day of our ride to confirm everything. At no point was this ever mentioned, which left our group scrambling before the ride even began. What bothered me most was the lack of concern for rider comfort and safety. Before the ride started, we specifically explained that one member of our group had previously had a traumatic horseback riding experience and was very nervous. Instead of taking that into consideration, they placed her on a horse they described as "lazy and bucks when behind" and positioned her at the very back of the group. It immediately made her feel unsafe. During the ride, she became overwhelmed and asked if she could get off her horse. We were told they do not allow anyone to dismount during the ride or switch horses under any circumstances. It was concerning that there appeared to be no plan or flexibility if a rider was genuinely distressed. A guide should prioritize safety and be prepared to handle situations like this. The staff came across as rushed, unfriendly, and more focused on getting our group finished so they could move on to the next reservation. The overall atmosphere felt like a money grab rather than an enjoyable experience, and customer service was lacking from beginning to end. We booked this as part of a bachelorette weekend and were hoping for a fun, memorable experience. Instead, it ended up being one of the biggest disappointments of the trip. I would absolutely not recommend this as a bachelorette activity, especially if your group includes beginner or nervous riders. There are much better businesses that value customer experience and make safety a priority. The scenery was beautiful, but unfortunately the service and overall experience overshadowed it. I would not return.

It turned out to be quite a workout and definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone, but I'm so glad I did it! Our guide, Andrew, was amazing. He was encouraging, patient, and made me feel comfortable and safe the entire time. I was definitely scared at certain points, but I always felt like I was in good hands. He also took so many incredible photos, so we didn't have too. I almost didn't sign up because I saw the high wire in the photos on the website and thought there was no way I could do that! Fortunately, on the 2-hour tour, the wire we crossed was low to the ground. It was definitely wobbly, but I felt safe because you're clipped in the entire time. It is more physically demanding than I expected, so I highly recommend eating a good meal beforehand, bringing water, and making sure you're well hydrated. The 2-hour climb was just right for me and felt like a real accomplishment. My 19-year-old son, on the other hand, loved it and wished he had signed up for the 3-hour climb. Overall, it was a really memorable experience and something I'd recommend to anyone looking for a fun challenge and a little adventure in Tahoe--even if you're somewhat afraid of heights!

The guides Mike and Luke were simply amazing. So are all the folks in their staff. Both are experts in what they do. I have low athletic aptitude and combined with my apprehension of heights, the guides went an extra mile to show me the techniques to navigate through the terrain. Because of fear of heights, my brain would freeze and the guides expertly helped me get unstuck by telling me where to step and the order of steps to take. The view outside was stunning. Never in my life would I have imagined climbing a mountain and exploring it through impassable terrain. Never in my life would I have imagined I could traverse through this type of seemingly impassable terrain. I was so close to not showing up due to fear of heights and I feel elated and blessed I did. I also want to point out that the guides put safety first and they know exactly what to do to keep everyone safe. For example, they would notice if the rope was tangled even before I did. They also closely monitor us to make sure we succeed. The staff are also knowledgeable and friendly. Overall, it was amazing and I am blessed to confront my fears with expert guidance from the team.
