The tour was very informative and entertaining! The guides/performers really put their heart into the tour. Even my young adult daughter really loved this experience.

Matthew was excellent. He was informative and interesting, friendly, and knew the answers to questions that were asked. He was also clear and precise in his speech, which is especially helpful to us seasoned citizens. We would highly recommend!!

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.

Knowledgeable and friendly driver kept us learning as we headed to the Great Salt Lake. What we learned about the lake and what we experienced by taking the tour is going to stay with us for many years. I would highly recommend this tour. The Great Salt Lake is an amazing sight

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 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.

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

This was the perfect afternoon tour for something different and quick to see! Come prepared with a bathing suit and sandals so you can enjoy the full experience and float! My tour guide was fantastic! So knowledgeable and friendly. Made the ride fun!

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.
