Our driver Dominic was a) very courteous and passionate , b) explained us background of the salt flats, c) helped us explore places that we wouldn’t have done ourselves and d) made the trip memorable!!! We were a group of 5 and all of us collectively felt that choosing this day trip ( instead of driving ourselves) was the right choice!!!

The explanation was very detailed, and the tour guide was also good at taking photos. Videos and ppts were also prepared during the drive. Although the journey was quite far, there was no interruption during the journey. Finally, before getting off the bus, he shared with us many good shopping places and unique foods.

Very good tour. The Tabernacle Choir was amazing and our tour guide Matthew exceptionally knowledgeable . Great way to see around Salt Lake City and learn the history.

wonderful guide with lots of information. Salt flats worth watching.
