- 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.

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.

First time in Las Vegas - We did 2 trips with Sweet tours The Grand canyon national park and the Hoover Dam. Both tours were enjoyable and informative both Mr G and Melissa were very knowledgeable and friendly. We liked the fact that both tours were small groups and we were able to socialise with other tourists. Elaine and Peter.

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!

Disappointed - Tour started out great, with re-confirmation the day before and the morning of the tour. Pickup on time by Paul in a very nice SUV, and provide a continental breakfast and waters. Nice drive out to the park, with good commentary. Once at the park, told to get in line for 30 minutes, and board park shuttle to the first stop. Well, 1 1/2 hrs later of waiting, we finally boarded the shuttle, and then 30 minutes later, we were told by Paul to get off and re-board to return to our original location. It is now 1:30pm, and we only seen the park from the inside of a standing room only bus. We then headed to the upper road of the park, for a 20 minute photo op at a view point. Then it was time to leave the park. We were not given any free time to walk around park, or do a short hike (30 min) on one of the many trails. This was advertised as a 12hr+ tour, and we did 10 1/2 hrs door to door. Ive done other van tours to Zion, where we were dropped off by the van at Canyon View trail for a hike, and picked back up an hour later. Plus we did four different 5 minute view point photo ops. This tour by Sweet, was done mostly by looking out of the window of the SUV.

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.
