We had a great tour with James. It was safe, fun and informative. Learned a lot about the city, the settlers, and Mormonism. It was a great way to see the sites and learn about the stories. Highly recommend this tour! James also gave us great suggestions for the local events, restaurants and breweries. What a great guy!

Great bike tour of the city. I did this the first day of my stay in SLC. On the bike, it gave me an opportunity to see the lay of the land and information from my guide allowed me to note places I’d want to add to my itinerary throughout my stay. Ride was not challenging as most of SLC is flat and very bike friendly. My guide also offered excellent restaurant and local hiking recommendations.

So glad to hear that! It's always best to do the exploring the first day. Couldn't agree more.

We met Jace at Liberty park and began our ride on cruiser bikes. The city is flat and we had no problems peddling around interesting Salt Lake City. Learned and had fun. Don't hesitate, it was a fun ride.

All skill levels welcome! Thanks for a great review

We all had a great time, James shared lots of interesting info! Was a great intro to the city! Would recommend.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you Rebecca! It's so nice when folks stay engaged. This is a heck of a beautiful place, and we love to show the best parts of it off.

Just the right pace. Good history! Lots of fun. Hit the highlights and a couple lesser known spots. Would recommend

Your review goes a long way, thank you very much!

Amazing way to explore the city. Only regret is that we didn’t do this earlier in our trip. James was a great guide and gave us lots of info from history of the area to all the recommendations in between. Would recommend to anyone going to SLC in the future!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
We hope you continue to take bike tours wherever y'all go, and that they are as good as the one you took here in Salt Lake!

It was the perfect day and perfect introduction to Salt Lake City. James was excellent and since it turned out to be a private tour as the other participants didn’t make it he kind of catered the tour to what we were interested in, such a nice mix of sights and interesting information . Afterwards we had a great understanding of SLC’s history, geology, people & current affairs. Thanks James for a great tour!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Excellent news that you enjoyed it all so thoroughly, and thank you for such a shining review!

James was a great guide. Good way to get an overview of downtown area. Bike friendly streets. Good bikes.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Our bike infrastructure does, indeed, improve by the year. We are glad our bikes were satisfying to ride, thank you!

The knowledge James had about the locations we stopped at. James ensured we stayed together as a group and he gave us breaks in between and filled these breaks with important tales from history.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you kindly! All skill levels and experience levels are welcome here. We wish to give people a wonderful time on their bike rides with us.

James was great and showed us many places that were very interesting that we would not have seen otherwise. Great local knowledge. Super fun.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thanks John, the both of you were obviously active and engaged, so thank you for coming to explore with us!
Monica_C, Jun 2023
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our tour guide, Jace, was wonderful! My son will leave home to attend the University of Utah in fall, so we wanted to get familiar with the city before he moves there. We learned so much from Jace about the city's history, things to do around town, and so much more. The bikes were very comfortable and we travelled at a pace comfortable for everyone. We had an amazing time. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Jace!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Yes, we do need more forward thinking people like yourselves coming to this town and making it better. Thanks for coming to explore with us first before sending your son off here!

Bought this tour for my husband (who has everything) for Christmas. Did the tour with our teenaged kids and we all loved it! Our tour guide Jace was super friendly and knowledgeable. Great way to spend a morning!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Jace is fantastic, a real born-and-bred Salt Laker. I'm so glad you enjoyed it all.
Deborah_M, Aug 2022
What a wonderful fun tour my niece and I had with James. He was so knowledgeable about Salt Lake City and so considerate to the four of us on the tour. It's a very safe biking city (especially with the guidance of James), He loves what he does and showed us some nice spots we would not have found on our own. A very memorable tour. Thanks James!
Response from Host, Aug 2022
It makes a big difference when our guests are ready to explore just as much as the guide is, so I'm glad it was a good match!
Andre_H, Jul 2022
Our guide James was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We had an excellent experience. The mid-ride coffee stop was great timing and the pastries at Eva’s were amazing!
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Way to go bringing your family out on a bike tour! We are always glad when we get younger folks under 18 out on bike tours, as it can be a good seed to plant in their minds for their own future travels. Thank you again!

The guide was a very nice guy, but very dissapointed with what we paid for what we received. The resevation says that they will not go without four people. It was only my wife and I . It said that all addmission charges were included, but we never went into anywhere. When the guide arrived, he gave us a plastic bottle of warm water. It said refreshments were included. There were none. $300 dollars was a waste of money. I felt the guide did the best he could but I would never do it again. Very disappointed.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
That is very unfortunate, and we are sorry to hear that our tour didn't meet your expectations. We will make some changes that sound necessary. It does sound like you got a private tour for what you'd paid, which some may count as a pro instead of a con, but we thank you for your feedback.

Our family of 3 including our 5th grade son had an enjoyable bike tour of SLC by Jace! We loved the personal attention he gave to us, gave excellent recommendations despite many closures due to Covid, and allowed us to go at our own pace. He was informative, friendly, fun, and the perfect fit for our family. It was one of our highlights of our stay and helped us to get a great feel for the city and all it has to offer! I would definitely recommend James and Jace! We had a great experience!
Response from Host, Jun 2021
We are always happy to show folks like yourselves around. It great to ride as a team!

Our bike tour of Salt Lake City was just what my daughter and I needed, after a very arduous flight the night before. We met our guide , James, at Liberty Park (a destination not to miss). Our bikes were retro, yet very adequate to meet the demands of the bike ride.
