Tod was excellent tour guide! - Tod was terrific. He was super friendly and gave us relevant and interesting information. He was very professional in his presentation and made it clear that he even had lots more fascinating information to share about the different sites as well as historical background. He showed us places we could visit on our own if we had more time in SLC. We were happy we took this tour.

Beautiful lake - The salt lake is beautiful. The water is blue, can see beautiful mountains surrounding it. There are some sea birds sitting on the beach and some flying. The beach is silver because of the salt and other minerals.

Okay experience, would not pay this much - Our guide was good, energetic and shared some new information about SLC and the lake. Unfortunately, on a cool rainy day there was no need to spend 45 minutes at the stop. We had hoped for several stops along the tour. We had read a lot about the lake so we could have driven out on our own to get a similar experience and saved some money.
