5.00Valorie was the best tour guide I could have hoped for. She has a fun personality and knows how to entertain people, yet she was also very kind and helpful. I'm glad I've done this tour and I recommend people to also do this tour!
Unforgettable Great Salt Lake Tour with Valerie!

5.00Had an amazing experience with the Great Salt Lake tour in Salt Lake City! A huge thank you to Valerie, who was not only our driver but also an outstanding tour guide throughout the trip. She was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience fun, personal, and engaging from start to finish. One of the best parts of the tour was how Valerie shared funny anecdotes and stories from her own life that kept everyone laughing and made the ride feel warm and welcoming rather than just informational. She also handed out salt-flavored candies for everyone to try, which was such a unique and thoughtful touch that perfectly matched the Great Salt Lake experience! Her energy, humor, and professionalism truly stood out, and the beautiful views of the lake were made even better by her commentary and enthusiasm. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Salt Lake City Valerie made it unforgettable.
Great tour guide!

5.00Our tour guide Valerie was awesome! Her guided tour was informative and also very witty, so it made the entire two hours enjoyable. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip in SLC :-)
Disappointment!

1.00A couple of hours before it was supposed to happen, I got a call canceling it. I was told I was the only one booked on it. The online post said "likely to sell out" so that was a load of BS. They refunded my money, but I had already arranged my day around the time for the tour, so it was a real disappointment.
Fun, Relaxing Exursion

5.00The tour will take you to an amazing lake that almost looks like it is on another planet! Any person interested in beaches, nature, and science would enjoy this tour. I think families would have a great time. Valerie was an excellent tour guide who knows much about the Great Salt Lake area. She was a lot of fun! I added her guide tip as a gratuity option when I reserved the tour, and hope she got it, as it was a new system feature they offered.
Entertaining and Informative

4.00It’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.
