Punctuality and good information about the city and its inhabitants - The tour started at the appointed time and also ended on time. Blake's explanations, the guide, were interesting, without being too extensive (as sometimes happens in this kind of tour). The treatment with travelers excellent, patient and without rush (some travelers had mobility problems). We visited the most significant places in Salt Lake City, and Blake kept us informed at every stop, letting us take whatever photos we wanted, quietly, each at his own pace. He also offered to take pictures of us. In short, an excursion highly recommended if you do not have much time to visit the city.

Salt Lake City Highlights - Our tour with Rachel was outstanding! She was personable, knowledgeable, and considerate of the needs of all tour participants. She also shared many recommendations for time on our own: restaurants, shopping, and scenic drives. The van was very comfortable and perfect for seeing all the important sights. Our morning could not have been better! Highly recommend Southwest Adventure Tours!

The Perfect 3 Hour City Tour! - I had a first class, one-on-one tour experience with John, who shared so many fascinating things about Salt Lake City! Most places cancel if they only have one person but not this business! You absolutely couldn’t beat the price either! I travel a lot and I can say this tour had the absolute most bang for the buck!

Comfortable and affordable - Amazing journey. The guide was very knowledgeable of the history of the city and was personable in explaining everything. She kept her pace and kept the schedule. I have recommended Southwest Adventure Group to my friends for them to visit Salt Lake City.

A Quick Look at Salt Lake Cities Points of Interest - We took the City Driving Tour By Car. We did not get off to a good start. First of all, the tour advertises a tour by car. Actually it is a 14 passenger black Mercedes van. The website does not identify the capacity of the vehicle. The pick up at our hotel was a half hour late. By text, I was informed that our pickup would be late because it was waiting for a party of a group at another location and a black Mercedes van with the company logo on the side would pick us up. When the van showed up for our pick up it was a white ten passenger van unlike the one advertised on the company's website video with its panoramic windows for viewing. I was then told that bad traffic was the reason for being late. However, to my wife and my delight there was only one other passenger. We choose this company's option because we did not want to be herded around like a group of cattle like the larger bus options offered by other companies. Our driver Mark was very personable, knowledgeable and informative. Obviously he had done his homework. He seemed however, eager to get through the tour. I walked with a cane and he often got far ahead of me. I could not hear him much of the time. He did not make much of an effort to pace with me. We drove past many of the points of interest, did manger to stop to visit the capital and a few other places to take photos when I requested. On another tour the next day we visited a site we bypassed the day before and low and behold we saw the company's black Mercedes van with a tour group parked there as well. Hum! We got lost in the city's huge cemetery and spent much of the time finding our way out. Mark our driver did make an effort to take us through the University campus which was of interest to me since I was a grad student there many years ago. I appreciated that. Our tour, however ended earlier than the three hour duration as was advertised.
