What are people saying about Salt Lake City

Lynnette_B, May 2026

The tour is a nice...

The tour is a nice overview of the various points of interest in Salt Lake City. Our guide did a great job pointing out various things and even offered suggestions for things to visit at a later point. Of course, the highlight of the tour was hearing the magnificent Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearse. We had the pleasure of having a former choir member come on the bus and speak with us and gave us some really neat background information of what all goes into the audition process and what's expected/ required of the members. It really gave me a new understanding of the dedication the members have to make.

Elizabeth_R, May 2026

this knowledgeable and curated tour is absolutely worth it!

Sinead was amazing! She was such a great host: Easy to talk to and ask questions to! She listened to our group's interests and catered to them amazingly, she was great at stopping and spotting animals and her depth of knowledge on the ecosystems, flora and fauna, and geology were wonderful! Highly recommend this tour if you're into birding! She showed such respect for the habitat and its occupants, including stopping and helping a snake across the road! Also we really appreciated her willingness to adapt the hikes to the mobility capabilities of those in our group! Hiring her to show us Antelope Island was 1000% worth it, we got so much more out of the experience than we ever would have self-guided! 10/5 stars!

Unforgettable Experience

Fantastic tour!! Dima was so knowledgable, friendly and welcoming! We learned about history, geography, wildlife and beyond! We made multiple stops along the way and encountered many bison and proghorn and got out to watch them roam. Hiking up to Buffalo Point for sunset was incredible. Dima took pictures of us, supplied snacks and water and it felt like hanging out with an old friend. He was as excited to see everything as we were. Highly recommended, would do it again!!!

Terrific guide and experience!

It is a 4+ hour experience. Eat early dinner or late lunch unless you're ok eating after 9pm. Your guide will notify you before the tour how to dress. Listen to his advice. Otherwise, you'll have a great time. Garth was funny, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the island the animals that inhabit it. Kept us at a safe distance at all times while allowing us to take great pics. Highly recommend the tour and Garth!!

Olivia_N, May 2026

Exceeded expectations

The tour is in a small bus so it felt very intimate which is always my concern when I book tours. Sonsari was the best tour guide and I learned so much from her 1 min in. We even got to see wild pronghorn which was SO COOL. It’s so clear she loves her job & Utah so much which made the tour that much better to be honest. Her picture taking skills were okayyy but I recommend having a vision (unlike me) haha I did the afternoon tour hoping to see the sunset, but you’re driving on the road when it happens. Regardless, I really highly recommend & will be looking at the tour company for other trips in my future.

Worth it!

Wonderful visit to an uncommon natural beauty. Saw burrowing owls, great horned owls, numerous other birds and literally hundreds of bison. Dima is the sweetest most hardworking tour guide who will do everything to ensure you see as much wildlife as you can. Amazed by how much he knows about Utah history and how well he summarizes it for the casual travelers.

Excellent your and Blake is amazing.

This is an excellent way to see the area. You really need a guide to learn more about the area. If you just drive thru the park, you would miss so much. Our tour guide Blake was outstanding. He is passionate about the area and he absolutely loves his job. He made the tour an absolute joy.
