We highly recommend this... - We highly recommend this tour to others. It followed the description of the listed tour precisely. What made it more enjoyable was that our tour guide was willing to adjust the city tour sites and the length of the stops according to our interests. We were picked up at a convenient location. We appreciated the flexibility for our group outing. The views outside of the city were breathtaking. Historic Park City was a fun excursion full of options to explore art galleries, shops, restaurants, or sweet shops. There are things to enjoy for all ages, and plenty of options if you are looking to shop. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. We had a comfortable ride, partially due to the driver’s expert abilities and the nice, spacious vehicle with cozy seating. We highly recommend this tour. Ending with the Utah Olympic Park was pure icing on the cake. A delicious experience!

Beautiful scenic view + cute small Park City town + Olympic Museum/Park - bonus fall foliage if travel in fall season - If you are looking for scenic view + cute Park City town + Olympic Museum / Park - especially bonus beautiful fall foliage at the moment, please don't hesitate to book this tour as soon as you can, as it is still on its peak. Honestly, I am blind with most areas on this tour. I was looking for a fall foliage as I have few hours at Salt Lake City as a layover before flying home, I googled "Big Cottonwood Canyon" and tumbled into this tour (otherwise, for some reasons, tour is not seen displayed when I searched Salt Lake City tour page), no review yet, so a little hesitant but I would give it a try, and so glad I did as the tour is greater than I expected. The tour guide David is nice and polite, provided information of each place along the way, he is flexible and pay attention to my personal interests and accommodated according to them. At the end of the tour, he offered to drop me straight off at the Salt Lake City airport instead of the meeting point, so I was able to get a seat from standby to get home early. I feel so blessed. Thank you, David! Few main highlights of the tour - that day I went the weather is beautiful after the first snow on the top of Canyon from the day before. Big Cottonwood canyon is great with different beautiful scenic views, the views got nicer and nicer as getting higher to the top, the green forest, beautiful yellow color from aspen trees, a range of mountains covered with white snow (and ski resorts there), in the midway, there is Silver lake surrounding with the all above 3 combined, so gorgeous. The shuttle is stopped at some spots along the way for photos and long enough for me to stroll around the lake to enjoy the views in different angles. Park City is also a nice and cute town with vibrant multicolor Victoria exterior stores. I enjoyed natural views than shopping, but it turned out I also enjoyed to the last minutes walking up and down the Main Street of the town, windows shopping, see some nice arts, and grab a souvenir from a small Park City Museum. You can take free trolley up or down the Main Street if you like too. Last is Olympic Park, another great place was told as a training center for Olympic and development level athletes, I could experience excitingly a few young trainees doing some kinds of ski slide and jump, took free fun or crazy poses photos in a museum and even touched the real Olympic torch, as well as saw some constructions prepare for future Olympic 2034 there! Oh the tour passed by some icon places in Salt Lake City at the beginning too. Overall, in my opinion, it was a nice, enjoyable and worth trip with reasonable price. I hope you can find the trip as enjoyable as I did.
