5.00We had a lovely lady (I’m sorry I can’t remember her name) she was prompt collecting us and very knowledgeable about the wildlife around the lake (like the birds) she was also happy to be asked any questions by us. We learned lots about the lake & surrounding area. Thank you for a great tour

5.00A great trip out to the great Salt Lake with Valerie. She helped identify birds along the way and at the Lake and provided info about the lake and the surrounding area. She helped with taking pictures for us solo travelers and had a helpful towel for wiping our feet down after rinsing off. We had time in the lake and a short stop at the visitors center. While we were there the brine flies had just hatched so there were tons of California gulls feasting! Great communication from the tour company warning about a potential cancellation since at first I was the only one booked. They confirmed the tour would go on the morning of which I was really grateful for.

I Checked the Lake Off My Bucket List

3.00Unless you want to swim in the lake there is not much to see. The visitors center has a good video and you can check seeing the lake off your bucket list. The trip there is on busy highways so there is not much to see. Our guide was energetic and knowledgeable so my review is no reflection on her.

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.
