Circle the city - Love seeing the mountains from a distance and then in just a matter of minutes being in them! Great flexibility in what we see and where we stop.

Great experience and value, you will be really happy. - So worth it! Shawn is exceedingly knowledgeable on all things Utah. Has plenty of planned sights, stops and excursions but is also very flexible and custom tailors your experience so you feel you got everything you want out of your time. Looking forward to booking a tour of southern Utah with him soon.

Excellent tour and tour guide! - This is such a great experience. I highly recommend it. Sean is from Salt Lake and is very passionate and knowledgable about this area. I have taken tours where the tour guides are not from the area and are memorizing facts. These tours are great but not as good as looking at the area through a locals eyes. Sean really caters this tour to each person based on what you want to see and do. We were able to purchase food and drinks along the way local to the area. The canyons, mountains and greater Salt Lake area have so much to offer. You will not regret looking at the amazing views through his panoramic sun roof. Sean provided ample areas to stop and take pictures along the way. I highly recommend this tour and this tour guide.

Looking through a sunroof will never be the same in Utah! - This tour is one for the books for us. The "private tour' can be defined in so many pleasant ways to have an amazing experiece. Shawn was so accomodating and flexible in the pacing from touring and sightseeing in the car and on foot. The "road trip" can even be customize to match the scenery and topography with your choice of backgroud music... in between Shawn's annotation (history, description and stories) of the places being driven through. It was a perfect mix of wonderful sites curated by a fantastic tour guide!

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 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!
