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.

Seeing Salt Lake - We enjoyed our tour of Salt Lake City with Ashley. She was very informative and showed her live for the city! Seeing the university, the old buildings from the past and learning about their history, as well as the tour of the capitol and the history were enjoyable and informative!

Van tour with Cameron was great! - We booked a driving tour of Salt Lake City on a Sunday because the trolley tours don't operate on Sundays. I think we got a better tour than the trolleys. Cameron was our guide. He was so full of information, accommodating, and funny. We had a great afternoon with him as our personal guide. Our family of three were the only members of the tour group and he personalized what we saw and what we talked about. It was a great afternoon, highly recommend this one!

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.
