Trolley Tour is a MUST!
We LOVED our tour! The guides were so talented and funny! We learned so much about SLC in our short time here and the team really made sure we were enjoying our selves. The cathedral was my favorite stop and the Coke & Cracker Jacks were a cute snacks!

Nice, short boat tour!
We had a very interesting boat ride around Great Salt Lake. Colton was our guide, who was very knowledgeable & a pleasure to be with! There were lots of brine flies on the water, but I still found it enjoyable. This is the perfect tour if you’d like to experience the lake without it taking up most of the day.

Salt Flats experience.
Our guide was Travis and he demonstrated good knowledge of the area in general and salt flat I particular. He was professional, friendly and handled the driving well. During the tour we saw a fire and Travis was quick to change our itinerary in the interest of safety. He also found an item we left on the bus and he went out if his way to ensure it was returned to us. Highly recommend this experience for those wanting to see the salt flats without the burden of driving yourself.

Beautiful, adventure and education all in one night
I was looking for a guided tour that would allow me to experience the beauty of Northern Utah's mountains while staying in Salt Lake City, and this was exactly what I was hoping to find.
It was the perfect way to spend a few hours in the evening exploring nature, learning about the area's natural history, and getting up close to some truly beautiful wildlife. The entire experience was thoughtfully planned and well organized.
Sarah was outstanding from start to finish. Her communication before the tour was excellent, and throughout the experience she was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
The vehicle was spacious and comfortable, and it was stocked with thoughtful amenities including water, snacks, binoculars, hats, bug spray, and face nets. Every detail seemed to be considered.
The tour concluded with an adventurous sunset hike to a scenic overlook above the Great Salt Lake, providing a memorable ending to an already fantastic experience.
If you're visiting the Salt Lake City area and want to experience Utah's natural beauty with a knowledgeable guide, this tour is absolutely worth your time.

A Must-do Tour!
This tour was amazing! Our guide, Dima, made it relaxed, interesting, and fun. The van was very comfortable and we liked that it was a small group.... just 8 of us not counting our guide. We chose a pick-up spot right across from our hotel and he was right on time. He had plenty of snacks and ice cold water on-board. We were lucky enough to get an up close viewing of a large herd of bison crossing the road... incredible! We also saw pronghorns and a great horned owl. There was no worry about needing to use a bathroom as convenient stops were made available to us. The couple of short hikes were a good chance to move and provided great views. If you are visiting Salt Lake City, you should NOT miss Antelope Island and I highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Dima!

Great tour!
The parks are fabulous. This tour is an experience not to be missed. The weather is unpredictable. Be prepared for heat, cold and rain, and it even snowed and hailed one night — in mid June. Our guide, Nate Rollins, was great. He’s very knowledgeable about each of the many places we went and has sharp eyes to pick out wildlife in the landscape to show us. Nate is very friendly and well-spoken and encouraging. I can’t praise him highly enough.

Book it! It's worth every penny!
Our tour guide Dima really cares about the people and their experience. He was knowledgeable and really thought thru the trip. We were informed that our tour would start later in the day, as Dima was trying to time it to sunset. I didn't know how much of a difference it was to be at the salt flat right at sunset! Dima not only made sure we were on the salt flat, he made sure that we also see it from a higher point of view, which is were some reviewers were mentioning the hike. I assure you that the hike was worth it! The view was spectacular and we even saw a mountain goat! We also got some amazing pictures because of Dima! He was an experienced photographer and knew how to pose us and get some incredible pictures! Although it was a very long tour, I believe we got way more than what we paid for, and we are so glad we decided to go with Dima instead of the other salt flat tours! He genuinely cares about the Salt Flat history and the people he gets to share this place with.

It was great to learn...
It was great to learn about the history, challenges & uses of lake. Chris was a great narrator & guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, considerate and funny. Antelope island also had a very interesting history. We stopped to take pictures of bison, safely. Later we stopped again to view what appeared to be 2 large herds. Time went by quickly. Glad we took the tour.

We had an amazing experience. Sinead was great at pointing out the many different birds that migrate to the Island. She had binoculars available for each of us to use. We learned about the history of the Island, details on the animals and geology of the region. All in all it was a fantastic day!

Family Road Trip
Our tour guide Kevin was so knowledgeable and informative. His tour was a mixture of history and humor. We had ample time at our tour stops for lots of photos and shopping. At the end of the tour Kevin even gave us several ideas for places to eat. Our driver was very good. We enjoyed not having to navigate the city traffic on our own, making our sightseeing experience amazing. We highly recommend this tour.

Fun date night
Did this as a first date and we had a lot of fun. The history was interesting. And the guide was knowledgeable but I wish he would have leaned into it a little more. But would recommend. You have to get on and off a bus so just be aware if you have mobility issues.

2 hour float trip.
This tour was fabulous. The guide was funny and informative and very relaxed. He told us ahead amid time about bugs we would encounter and provided us with bug hats to protect us when needed. Once out on the water it was beautiful and comfortable ride in the boat. We especially enjoyed floating in the water. We have been to Dead Sea and floated there and liked this just as much. Highly recommend it to others.
