Selvstyret køretur fra Lake Tahoe til Virginia City
Beskrivelse
Udforsk de mineralrige byer, der var i centrum af Nevadas Silver Rush i dit eget tempo. På denne selvguidede køretur fra South Lake Tahoe til Virginia City rejser du tilbage i tiden til anden halvdel af 1800-tallet for at finde ud af, hvordan sølv ændrede disse byers formuer for altid. Startende i Californien, en kort køretur fra statslinjen, krydser denne tur højt over Kingsbury Grade og falder ned i Douglas County, Nevada. Dramatisk indrammet af Carson Range i Sierra Nevada, dette amt er hjemsted for den maleriske by Genova, en af Nevadas første permanente bosættelser. Fra Genova kører du gennem Carson City, statens hovedstad, og passerer en af Nevadas ældste byer, Silver City, før du afslutter vores tur i den charmerende sølvrush-by Virginia City. Ved slutningen af denne tur har du fået en forståelse af de historiske øjeblikke, der formede denne industri og Nevadas Silver Rush, mens du kører gennem Silver State's glitrende landskab.

Amazing how well this works. Great historical information. Easy to understand and follow. I would recommend.
My sister and I visited in the off season, late May. Museums were closed and we were unable to visit at that time, but honestly, even during season they seem to be open only on limited days per week, so it might be hit or miss. We enjoyed the historical narration throughout the self-guided tour. Consider having someone “navigate” while the other drives because there are a couple of points where the narration may not give enough time for lane changes, turns, etc if you’re solo. For us, Genoa was the best stop. Specifically the tour at Mormon park. Maybe we just hit it lucky, but the ranger there the day we went was super knowledgable and interesting! Admission is now $1, and well worth it. The museum in town was also nice. Carson City was mostly drive-by narration about historical locations. Virginia City was very interesting. Heads up, there is no longer a Starbucks at the starting point, but it is in the Target parking lot. Love that the narration is based on geolocation. This tour is easy, flexible - you stop where you want and pass by what you don’t — and affordable. Win, in my opinion.
We had problems with the tour due to detours and closed roads and parking lots in both Varson City and Virginia City. Viator was very good about making sure that we had the app and tour set up, so it surprised me that we weren’t notified that there would be detours and closed roads/parking lots on the route and what to do when we encountered these obstacles.
Very well organized and the historical facts and stories of the area are great. The narrative is clear and easy to understand.
The directions and narrative was very good. The sites were wonderful and amazing. All good. The app followed the route and updated the directions.
Curvy & steep but paved mountain roads in places. Ate in Genoa at "Flutter & Buzz" & found it a charming cafe.
Excellent experience listening while driving to better understand the history of this great area. Thank you
Good information but we had lots of problems with the directions. They played too late in many cases and we would miss our turn. Yes... we drove at or under the speed limit.

When we tried to use the ap on my phone in the car it would not play sound. We did read some of the scripts and enjoyed some time in Genoa.
Hi there, I'm sorry that you were unhappy with your experience. Given what you’ve explained, it seems like you had some technical difficulties.

We are contactable by both telephone and email, so if you have technical difficulties, please reach out to us so we can identify what is going wrong. Again, I'm sorry about the poor experience you had. Best, Helene
We started out well but once in Genoa we were instructed to park and start walking around. We did not wish to do so and right away we were out of sync with the speaker. We stopped the tour but could not figure out how to get it to resume along our drive. We finally did so at silver city but then had a detour due to construction at the T&V train depot in Virginia City and got out of sync again so we gave up and stopped the tour completely. If this tour was real time GPS we don’t think we would have had these problems. In the alternative if this was a drive by only tour with no stops it would have been exceptional. Jeff Hickox
