Great comprehensive nature journey - Had a lovely nature trip with Shawn. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to the mountains. We saw multiple ski resort areas, waterfall and even a lake. Shawn gave us a lot of information about the history and was happy to be our camera man as well. It was a very laidback experience and it was a pleasure talking to Shawn throughout. I would recommend this trip!

Scenic Views, Local Gems, and Unmatched Hospitality – A Must-Do Tour! - Our experience with this tour was absolutely fantastic! Shawn was an incredible guide—super personable and full of local knowledge. Being from the area, he provided a unique insider’s perspective that made the tour feel extra special. He shared what makes Salt Lake City unique in so many ways, and a fun highlight was stopping at Swig to try the famous “dirty sodas”—a must-try! What really stood out was how accommodating he was. Whether it was stopping for scenic views whenever safely possible, making spontaneous detours (like our Swig stop), or even picking us up from the airport and dropping us off at our Airbnb, Shawn was beyond flexible and kind. If you’re looking for a relaxed, customized, and scenic way to experience the beauty of Salt Lake’s canyons, this is the perfect tour. Highly recommend!

Great Canyon Tour - My husband and I were in SLC for only a very short time and wanted to see something outside of the city. We chose the 1/2 day scenic canyon tour. Shawn, our guide, provided a wonderful experience. He was extremely accommodating and very knowledgeable. His vehicle has a sunroof that extends the entire length of the car and that was an amazing feature as it allowed us to view the full scope of the mountains. We can highly recommend Shawn and the canyon tour!

Great views and great company. - This private tour is exactly what you need if you come to see the beauty of Utah, but do not know where to start. The panoramic roof allows for the best views while on the road. Shawn was a great tour; he reached out the day before the tour and stayed in communication until we were picked up. He had great suggestions for places to visit and eat. If you are looking for views and great conversation, this is the tour for you.
