Shawn is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. Born and raised in Salt Lake he is knowledgeable of the mountains, lakes and history of the environment. I'd strongly recommend him as a guide.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you Sandra. I am glad you enjoyed your time with us.

we took a private guided tour by Sean. Sean has grown up in this area and knows all about Salt Lake City and the surrounding mountains. He was very informative and a very nice tour guide. I recommend him without reservation.

Shawn was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the mountainous area. Great sense of humor. And fun suggestions for unique local snacks. (Toasted cheese and dirty sodas hit the spot!)

If you are looking for a unique experience with a great guide, this is it! What an amazing experience with Shawn! He knew so much about the area, took us to see beautiful locations and even stopped at a local drink place so we could try an authentic SLC dirty soda. We have a great time and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Dylan_H, Mar 2024
Exactly what I was looking for. I’m here on business from the East coast and I had one free day to explore Utah. This trip was fantastic right from the start. Shawn was very flexible in starting time and completely rerouted our tour for me because I wanted to catch a late lunch in Park City. I learned a ton, saw views that I would never have been able to find on my own and had some great conversation along the way. 10/10 recommend.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thanks Dylan! We were happy to accommodate you!
Pamela_Y, Jan 2024

I recently accompanied my husband on a business trip to Salt Lake City and wanted to get out and about without having to rent a car and drive myself. Enter Shawn Homer, co-owner of BeUTAHful Tours.
These tours cater to very small groups (2-3 passengers max), and as a result the itinerary is both flexible and customizable. Since this was my first time visiting SLC, I left it up to Shawn to select scenic/notable sights to see, and he didn't disappoint. In a half-day, we visited Park City, Provo Canyon/Bridal Veil Falls, the towns of Provo and Orem, Little Cottonwood Canyon, and Alta, with snowy mountain vistas throughout the drive.
Shawn was also a very engaging companion for the day. This excursion had none of the typical "tour" vibes, and instead felt more like chatting with a knowledgeable friend who was able to spotlight the amazing scenery found within a short drive of SLC.
If you're planning on visiting SLC, book this excursion.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you Regina! It was great to get to know you, and show you around the Salt Lake City area!
Mendel_F, Oct 2023
Shawn was great - easy to talk to. It felt like touring the city with a friend. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see the scenery around the Salt Lake City area.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you Mendel, That's our entire goal... to make it feel like a friend is taking you around. It was great getting to know!
Joani_B, Oct 2023
Our driver and tour operator, Shawn, was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great driver. it was a rainy day which means some of the peaks difficult to see however, Shawn went out of his way to make sure we got to see the best of the fall colors as the trees were turning. The waterfalls we saw were beautiful, and one was huge. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the Wasatch Mountains up close. We went through Park City and Shawn pointed out the highlights of that area.. Overall this was a gorgeous ride and a great tour. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you Joani, It was fun to meet you guys. Hopefully next time the weather will be great!

Margaret_J, Sep 2023
Shawn was an excellent guide and helped us craft a trip just for us. We wanted to snap some great pics of the canyons and reservoirs and spend a little time in Park City. I shopped for turquoise jewelry, window shopped art
and even bought a hat! We also wanted to visit some artisanal cheese shops.
The Bridal Falls, Mount Timpanogos, The Uinta National Forest with yellow aspen, Deer Creek Reservoir, Alpine Loop, were all stunning. This was a great time to see the bright reds, yellows, oranges, golds and silver white bark contrasted against the still green background.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you Margaret! It was fun to get to know both of you! Enjoy your hat! 😁
Glishen_L, Sep 2023
We initially booked this half way driven tour and asked Shawn if we can also go to Bonneville Salt Flats which he agreed that’s why we were really grateful to him. Enjoyed the driven tour esp the falls, canyons and the salt flats. We even walked around the park close to the falls full of trees which was awesome. He is very knowledgeable about Salt Lake City and accomodating to our requests including the songs we will play while in the car, restroom breaks, taking photos etc. Shawn is very funny and approachable which made the whole trip enjoyable.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you Glishen, it was a lot of fun taking you three around.
