Great beautiful tour! - Shawn was great. Very informative and found great spots to see the beautiful mountains, lakes, some homes, and more. Being a solo traveler, I was very comfortable and felt safe. Even had some music and movie talks. Shawn stayed on time and made sure there were bathroom breaks. This was a great tour, highly recommend!

We took two guided tours... - We took two guided tours by Sean. This was the second tour. It was just as nice as the first tour. He was extremely informative, polite, and full of information about the surrounding area. I recommend him without reservation.

We love SLC and its beUTAHful nature - The trip was amazing! Great views in Big Cottonwood Canyon and at the top Snowbird resort. (We even spotted a moose!) But the one thing that made it really special was the warm and friendly tourguide Shawn who told us about culture, nature and allocated some additional time to show us around SLC! Big thank you Shwan!

It's worth it. - It is a private tour. This allows for much interaction with the guide, who is very personable and answers all your questions. This is what makes the tour unique and enjoyable.

Fabulous drive with lots of stops and gorgeous views. - I debated on doing this drive myself in the rental. Glad I decided to take the tour. Shawn took me to beautiful places...we did some short hikes. He explained a lot about the areas, he took photos of me and allowed me time to take photos and take in the views for as long as I liked. We chatted about our lives and enjoyed. He is laid back and didn't make it weird that I was by myself. We stopped for a 'dirty soda' and soft pretzel bites at Swig too. Thanks for a great day trip and amazing views Shawn!

Awesome tour! A great way to see the canyons. - It was me, my husband and our teenage son. The tour was amazing. At first, my husband was upset that I had spent that much money on the tour, but after about an hour into it, my husband admitted that it was worth the money. (In full disclosure, my husband was given multiple chances to look at our trip plans and costs, but opted not to. He is a traveling princess. 😂) Shawn is very personable. He spent his time with us and gave us several different options. Took us on two short hikes that our old knees could handle. Told us all about the areas and canyons that we drove through. He introduced us to dirty sodas. Even our teenage son loved the tour. If you are hesitating because of the cost, don’t. So glad we did it. Salt Lake City is beautiful.
