Cool bus tour - Great tour and our driver Frank had so much to tell us about Salt Lake City. The news of the upcoming Olympics in 2035 had everyone excited. I would recommend this tour to anyone. A real treat!

City Sights - Salt Lake City Guided Bus Tour is a great way to see and learn about Salt Lake City - Mark was our driver and tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the Salt Lake City/Utah history and explained it well. He gave historical data with enjoyable jokes woven in his talk. Mark answered people's individual questions. He encouraged us to ask any question we had. We took the tour the day after Pioneer Day (July 25, 2024). And it was also the day that the 2034 Olympics were announced to be held in Salt Lake City. We bought honey in the gift shop of the Old Pioneer village because Mark said the bees represented the community nature of Utah and the hard working pioneers who settled here. We gave the honey to our 15 year-old grandson. He was the reason we came to Salt Lake City, to see him play in a baseball tournament. We told him his playing was as sweet as the Utah honey. And he and his team represented hard work and unity as a team. We thoroughly enjoy the tour and would highly recommend it to family and friends.

Worthwhile Sakt Lake Tour - Mallory was friendly and knowledgeable about all things regarding the city’s history and, of course, the Salt Lake and its surroundings! We enjoyed having a person tour guide, air-conditioned transportation included, instead of just driving out to the Lake on our own! Highly recommend it! Thanks Mallory!

Great overview of Salt Lake! - Very informative and relaxed. The stops are easy and there is plenty to learn about with the information provided. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed this even after having been to Sal Lake numerous times previously.

Great tour & customer service - Our tour guide Kevin really made this tour interesting and amusing. The 2 1/2 hour tour proved to be the best as most of the Temple Square is under construction so we saw more outside of downtown. The company went out of its way to contact us and offer options when the shorter tour was canceled due to mechanical difficulties and then returning something I forgot on the bus . Great customer service!

Wonderful Tour - The views were amazing! Our tour guide Grant was very knowledgeable. The water was nice. It is muddy, and rocky water shoes would be best! We are glad we checked this out! My kids were excited to bring home some sea monkeys! Thank you for your time Grant! Take care!

Tod was excellent tour guide! - Tod was terrific. He was super friendly and gave us relevant and interesting information. He was very professional in his presentation and made it clear that he even had lots more fascinating information to share about the different sites as well as historical background. He showed us places we could visit on our own if we had more time in SLC. We were happy we took this tour.
