Glad I Did Not Miss This with Tour-guide Valerie - Ayer studying the great Salt Lake in grade school, this was on my to do list. We made this the priority upon a stay in SLC. Our tour guide Valerie was knowledgeable and added an amusing twist of humor. Glad we were lucky enough to be on her tour.

The guide was very... - The guide was very experienced and knowledgeable about the lake and Utah in general. An excellent experience! Be careful when swimming in the salt lake though. That salt can burn especially if you have cuts! And there are showers but it's just a hose out in the parking lot. Just be aware of that.

“Great” Lake tour - Valorie was a great tour guide. There were 7 on our tour and it was a perfect number. The van was very nice and trip was the right amount of time.

GSL tour - It’s a nice intro to Great Salt Lake. Saves driving it yourself. Would have appreciated more information about the industries and businesses along the route. Those seem to be exploding and must be having significant environmental effects.

Disappointed - It was our last day in Salt Lake City and our tour was called off just a couple of hours before starting, Disappointed because there was not enough people signed up. Kind of ruined our last day. We were never advised that this could happen
