5.00We were advice by locals to just drive through the park; however, this was the best tour I have taken. The guide was knowledgable and was able to give us some good history. He was also very accommodating. If you didn't see something you wanted to see, it was your own fault for not speaking up. Love, love, love this. Will definitely keep his card. He does multiple tours.

5.00We had an amazing time exploring Salt Lake with Dima! He is incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and the surrounding areas, and you can really feel his passion for the place. He shared so many interesting facts and stories that made the experience much more special than just a regular visit. On top of that, Dima is a very friendly and fun person to be around. The whole trip felt relaxed, enjoyable, and full of good energy. We laughed a lot and learned a lot at the same time. If you want to truly experience the beauty and history of Salt Lake and its surroundings, I highly recommend going with Dima. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
A must take tour.

5.00One of the best tours I have ever taken. The guide's knowledge of the area is amazing, and he takes the time to make sure you see everything. He gives you time to take all the pictures you want and will point out things you might be interested in photographing. I can not recommend this tour enough.
