From Lake Tahoe: Virginia City Day Tour, Seasonal Train Ride
Lake Tahoe, United States · Culture & Heritage
Why we selected it
Virginia City grew up around the Comstock silver boom and still has the look of a Western mining town. A guided day trip from Lake Tahoe adds the history that a stroll along its main street would not and includes a train ride on the listing. Chosen as the history option in a region known mostly for scenery.
Best for
Visitors interested in Old West and mining history who want a break from the lake.
Consider
It is a full day with road travel from the Tahoe basin, and the town is a tourist-oriented historic site rather than a quiet museum. The listing describes the train ride as seasonal, so check it runs on your date. Confirm the date, language, meeting point, group size and cancellation terms on the provider's page before booking.
