- Virgin River Gorge - The Virgin River Gorge, a 15-mile canyon sculpted by the Virgin River, opened to Interstate 15 traffic in December 1973 after nine years of construction. It was the most costly rural interstate project at the time and provides breathtaking views, often likened to a mini Grand Canyon—though, unlike the Grand Canyon, you can actually drive through it!
- St. George - St. George, UT, located on the Arizona border in the northeastern Mojave Desert, is encircled by the Pine Valley Mountains and near the intersection of three distinct geologic regions: the Mojave Desert, Colorado Plateau, and Great Basin. Known for year-round outdoor activities and its proximity to Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon, St. George also features vibrant landscapes and milder winters than most of Utah. With 68% of its residents being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is frequently ranked as one of America’s best places to live.
- Hurricane - Hurricane, UT, located in the Hurricane Valley of Washington County, is experiencing rapid population and industrial growth. The town was named in the 1860s after a whirlwind blew the top off a buggy driven by Mormon leader Erastus Snow. Known for its historic peach and pecan orchards, open spaces, green fields, and small-town charm, Hurricane offers a unique blend of rural beauty and modern development.
- Springdale - Springdale, UT, a delightful town with a population of around 530, is situated just outside the boundaries of Zion National Park. Known as the gateway to Zion, it offers a variety of name-brand resorts, restaurants, and local attractions. Recently named one of the most charming towns in the US, Springdale combines small-town charm with easy access to natural beauty.
- Zion National Park - During a visit to Zion National Park, visitors will experience breathtaking scenery, including colorful canyons, towering sandstone cliffs, and diverse desert landscapes. Explore the park’s rich history, from Ancestral Puebloan and Paiute cultures to Mormon pioneers, while enjoying the stunning natural architecture and wildlife. Between mid-May and mid-October, visitors have about 2.5 hours to explore, while visits from mid-October to mid-May allow for approximately 5 hours in the park.

An amazing trip - This was one of my favourite days out - ever! An amazing trip in a beautiful place. Our tour guide was superb and made the day so special for us - he was determined to give us the best experience and he certainly did. Zion National Park is a stunning place. Highly recommended.

Great local tour operator - Gonzalo our driver was outstanding. We had a small group and he was very accomodating and explained everything we should do, see and experience.
Multiple pit stops in between if necessary, most importantly got us back to our hotels safely.
Zion Natinal Park is breathtaking, multiple walking trails, can get crowded, but certainly worth it.

A wonderful experience with Earl! - Our driver Earl was great!!! I was picked up on time in a van with 3 other solo travelers. On the drive there, Earl told us a little about history in the area and we stopped at a gas station convenience store. There was no continental breakfast as the listing mentioned. We had to buy our own items. (We were offered to use a $10 credit for either breakfast or lunch and we opted to save it for lunch.) Once we got to Zion, Earl drove us around and stopped at a few scenic places for 10-15 mins each. I did not feel rushed at all. He then dropped us off at the shuttle and we had a few hours to explore on our own. We ended up choosing 2 small hikes and were able to make it back on the shuttle to be picked back up by the van. The company provided us $10 each for lunch. We stopped at subway to use the credit. We also stopped at a convenience store on the way back to Vegas. Over all was a wonderful trip.

Zion National Park with Sweetours is a big plus! - My lady and I had a great trip to Zion National Park with Paul of Sweetours. There were only three of us all together on this trip. It was very cozy. Paul is an excellent encyclopedia of relevant information about the area between Las Vegas and the Park and then he took his time to explain to us the geological history of the Zion Park. He can overwhelm you at times with the details of the information he provides, but he is way worth listening to. On top of it, he is a good person. A trip that is well worth the effort.

A lot of time is spent... - A lot of time is spent travelling. Of the 3.5 hours actually in the park, very little (40 minutes) was walking in the park. Most of the time was quick photo ops in and out of vehicle. The tour offered a continental breakfast and box lunch plus water. We received a full breakfast and no lunch was provided. We purchased lunch but not until 4 pm and no snacks (which the ad stated) were provided making the time between meals very long. Small group (5) travelled in an SUV with far back seats having limited view and little leg room. The driver was knowledgeable and provided lots of information along the way. The park is stunning and well worth a visit.

Earle picked us up in a... - Earle picked us up in a Yukon. Earle was very knowledgeable on the area. We traveled with 3 other passengers and were treated to breakfast at I-Hop before we left for Zion. It was a long drive and stopped for restrooms and the chance to buy snacks. The description in the tour said continental breakfast and lunch included. Instead it was a larger breakfast and then we were on our own for anything else. When we arrived at Zion, we were lucky the lines weren't long yet despite the parking lot being full. We were driven in and stopped at a few places to get some pictures. Then we were dropped off at the welcome center, where we caught the shuttle to go up to one of the trails. The trail we walked on was paved and very busy. We had about 45 minutes to walk before we needed to catch the shuttle back down where Earle was waiting for us. After we left Zion, we stopped at Subway where we bought subs to eat on our drive back. Zion is beautiful but it's important to note that this is not a hiking tour. If you want to really hike and explore, you'll want to stay in the area so you have more time.

Great trip - bring snacks - The tour was fantastic and a great chance to capture some of Zion in one day. The drive from Vegas was very scenic, there were several short stops in the park, and then some time to walk and explore - all was great!
Some of the tour info is a bit inaccurate - no breakfast was provided, and lunch was only $10 towards food. Also lunch wasn't until about 4pm, so bring snacks! Also the pick up time I received was wrong by 45 mins, so I had a mad rush to get down to the car.
Having said that, the actual trip and time in Zion was amazing and I had a great day - would definitely do it again!

Nothing as expected - I can only speak for myself when I say this trip only gets two stars because we made it to Zion in one piece and I got to see it.
To start, the tour place did not send me the right time to meet my pick up. It texted me saying 6:40am, but the drive called me telling me it was 6:15am. Okay, only 25 minutes difference but not a good start.
Second, the transportation was just this guys car. It was like an expensive Uber driver. The “snacks” were just a belvita biscuit and a banana. The “unlimited water” was like a 24 pack of bottles.
The driver was fine enough, but he was speeding, swerving, passing on one ways, and generally not being too safe while driving. Once we made it to Zion, he took us to one pull away (rushing us by the way) and then turned around and took us to the visitor center. He instructed us that we only had two hours from getting on the bus and then we had to come back. Two hours. If you’ve been to Zion, you know you can’t do much in two hours. There was no photo opps other than what we did ourselves.
After that, lunch wasn’t even paid for and we had no choice of where to go. He didn’t ask if we wanted coffee, or snacks, or anything. He would not stop for us. We basically were forced to go to Subway of all things and he just gave us each 10 dollars, which you know can’t really buy anything there anymore unfortunately. He basically rushed us in shopping for souvenirs and told us not to “dilly dally.”
Again, a pleasant enough guy, but I feel like the wool was pulled over my eyes about the experience. He didn’t guide us anywhere. He just dropped us off and told us to hurry. I didn’t even want to tip the guy but I guess I did for the gas and the wear and tear on the car.

Worst tour ever? - Unfortunately, this is probably the worst tour I've been on.
1. It's a 12 hour tour and you only get to walk around Zion for about 20 minutes. The "two hours" at Zion involves lengthy drives on shuttles plus waiting in line for the shuttles. You DO NOT get to walk around for two hours AT ALL.
2. It says breakfast and lunch are included. There was zero lunch and "breakfast" was a stop at a convenience store.
