10 Best Things To Do In Reno 2026 | Top10Adventures®

Welcome to Reno

Reno is a city in West-Central Nevada just a few miles east of the California state line. Near the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and a gateway to the Lake Tahoe high country, Reno is an older, smaller version of Las Vegas, with a casino hotel strip dominating the downtown. Carson City, a historic California Immigrant Trail wagon train stop and 1859 silver rush town, is just to the south. Beyond the casinos, restaurants, and craft breweries, the Reno outdoors and the valleys, meadows, pine forests, and high desert country of the Sierra’s call visitors to activities like summer and winter off-road safaris, horseback riding, hiking and biking, rock climbing, river rafting, and exploring pioneer sites.

Book this tour! So much fun

This tour was absolutely fantastic, unfortunately I forgot our tour guides name. But her daughter who was very hospitable and added very much to the tour as well was named Cheyenne. Great great experience. I’m in town for my bday weekend to watch a thrash show at the Grand sierra resort, but this was honestly the highlight of my trip. Thank you so much, I will recommending to any anyone that plans to visit Reno in the future :)

Highly Recommended: Virginia City Tour with Reno Outdoors

Virginia City Wild West was our second tour with Reno Outdoors. After the wonderful Lake Tahoe experience, we were so impressed that we immediately asked Tony to book us for this tour the following day. It was also a private tour, and once again we enjoyed insightful commentary along the way. Tony’s knowledge of the area’s history, combined with his friendly and engaging style, made the tour memorable, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting Reno. If there are other tours departing from Reno, we would love to experience them with Tony as well.

Fun trip around reno

Debbie was great knowledgeable and fun! Used a ghost hunting app and spots she said would be active were. I was a bit skeptical about an app since they claim to be for entertainment but found a good one and a lot of things she said matched up which made the tour more credible and awesome!

Great Experience!

Excellent! Tony, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history and highlights of Lake Tahoe and the region. We found it to be extremely beneficial to have a guide rather than struggle with the traffic and most likely would have missed the highlights of the area!

Great addition to our drive. Was very helpful with learning about the area and knowing upcoming pullouts and turns. Traffic has gotten so bad it is easy to miss turnoffs, and this guided tour helped us plan ahead. Well worth the money!!

Virtual Personal Guide during Lake Tahoe road trip

Based on the phone's GPS location, the app explained the nearby attractions very well. The voice was very clear and told interesting stories about each location. It is almost like a travel guide sitting with us in the car and explaining the attractions. We loved it. Would like to use this again for another road trip.

Virginia City and Lake Tahoe Full Day Small Group Tour from Reno

Bertinson_V, Jun 2026

This is our first time...

This is our first time visiting Reno Nevada for a few days so we are looking for something to do to know something about the area. We found Reno Tour that offer a full day visiting Virginia city and Lake Tahoe for small group. Our tour guide, Tony, pick us up at our hotel right on time. As we spend time with Tony, he is knowledgeable, calm, answering all our questions and very accommodating to our request. Tony is a good driver so we can enjoy the view while he navigates the winding roads in the mountain and around the lake. We feel safe and especially no motion sickness for us so we are happy. We highly recommend this tour to explore the area and for us to have an over view of our national wonder beautiful Lake Tahoe. We definitely will be back to vacation on Lake Tahoe. Thanks to our tour guide Tony for a wonderful day together.
