Tour guide made a difference! - Mark was our tour guide and he was excellent! The tour was well worth the money and would recommend it if you visit SLC to take it and ask for Mark who was formerly a radio traffic announcer and knows much of the history.

Knowledgeable - The entire tour gave us a historical outlook on this western city! The stops were well planned and just enough to pique interest and we plan to return to several. Matt was our exceptional guide...knowledgeable and full of energy with a good sense of humor.

Sneak peeks - Everything about the tour was great except for there was barely an A/C felt in the bus and the amount of time spent outside of the bus was 20 minutes which doesn’t leave you any time to explore. If anything take the tour to get a peek at different sights and locations in Utah and get historical information about it.

Great way to get to know Salt Lake City - This was my first time in Salt Lake City on a business trip and was the perfect time to take in the sights. This was a great tour for what I wanted which was to get to know the area and a bit of the history. The bus was comfortable and access was easy to get in and out of all of the stops.
