Our guide, McKenna, was wonderful. Abby was with her and we enjoyed her too. McKenna was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed all parts of the trip. The Olympic training center was very interesting. The reason for the 4 out of 5 rating was that we only had 2 hours to visit the town of Park City and that included taking time for lunch. We just didn’t feel like that was enough time.
On time pick ups..knowledgeable guides...interesting sights to see and some free time to explore.
Jack was our guide for this tour and reached out to us prior to the trip via text. He informed us we were the only ones on the tour so if there was a particular area we wanted him to focus on for information i.e. mining history, or the Olympic Park. Jack was full of information, professional, and personable. We enjoyed the history of Park City, the Olympic Park, and This Is The Place Heritage Park. Highly recommend this tour.
Incredible tour of Olympic Park followed by an introduction of Park City and plenty of time to enjoy the shops and a restaurant. Guides both on our excursion and an additional one at Olympic Park gave us a memorable tour. Comfortable accommodations for the trip out and back.
We spent a wonderful, sunny Sunday in late February with our tour guide, Sonsari, at former Olympic sites in Salt Lake City and Park City and surrounding area! A snow storm a few days before our visit made all the more beautiful! We lucked out having Sonsari all to ourselves (2 of us), and her stories and Olympic knowledge were so enjoyable. We also had a tour guide (TJ) at the Olympic Museum who gave us an fantastic tour!
We have used more time at the Olympic sites John was a great guide and very knowledgeable and friendly. We had great weather
Absolutely beautiful landscape and mountains. So glad we went. Wonderful tour guide, John, history, stops well paced.
This tour is a must do if visiting the Salt Lake City area. Our tour guide, John, had tons of information to share with us and showed us the beautiful area surrounding Salt Lake City. We were able to see the US Mens Ski team practicing at Olympic Park. The tour included an additional tour at Olympic Park and it was impressive to see the facilities. After the tour of Olympic Park, we enjoyed lunch in Park City. The drive was breathtaking beautiful!! We loved the tour and highly recommend it!!
It was our first visit to Salt Lake City as part of our cross country trip. Our tour guide, John was very informative about the area. We toured Olympic Park and Park City, along with Deer Valley. Very nice experience
