Worth every penny. We would never have learned as much or experienced as much about Park City and the surrounding areas on our own. Mark, our tour guide and driver, was excellent. He was super knowledgeable, personable, and adapted our tour to the groups needs. Pick up communication was perfect. Recommend you do this tour on the first day of your visit so you’ll know where you want to spend more time during the rest of your stay.
The driver was very informative about the area. The biggest disappointment was that the excursion was to include a tour of the Cheese factory to observe the making of cheese. We only visited the cheese factory store. The other stops were interesting.
Great overview of Park City and surrounding area. We picked a few things to revisit in the following days based on what we saw during the tour. We read the description of the tour and so we picked a Monday tour instead of the Sunday one, which we got to stop at the cheese farm. Their grilled cheese and ice cream were really good! Our tour guide, Mark, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and stayed calmed under pressure. I highly recommend this tour!
Our guide was the best! He exceeded our expectations, taking us to fabulous views (my husband was able to make a snowball!) and sharing so much information about the area. He was courteous and so interesting, as well as being a great driver! Highly recommend this tour as an introduction to area! Loved the Olympic museum! Was so glad he discussed some of the happenings on the outside slopes that we wouldn't have otherwise known about!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a 5* review. We appreciate you. Thanks again. Come see us again next time.
Mark was an exceptional guide!!! He took us so many places and gave us so much history.. it was wonderful. He was very pleasant and incredibly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this 4 hour tour!!
Thanks so much for the 5* review. Much appreciated. Come see us again next time.
Interesting and enjoyable. Tour guide/driver Jeff was informative, knowledgeable and friendly. I would have given a higher rating, but for two things. First, the description of the cheese place said that we would experience the “cheese making process” but it was actually only 15 minutes in a tiny shop with some cheese samples laid out. The second thing was that the itinerary said we would stop at the Swiss bakery, and we did not.
Thanks so much for your coments. Unfortunately after covid the cheese factory will only allow you to see the process thru the glass window at we dont always know when they decide to make more cheese. Sorry you didnt get to see that but its not within our control as they are a different company. We will investigate as to why the guide didnt stop at the Swiss bakery. But we are glad you enjoyed the rest of the tour. Thanks again,.
This gives you a great overview of the various things to do in/around Park City when you are limited on time and curious. It was nice to be driven around and learn more about the area, while enjoying the scenery!
Excellent tour, very informative, very experienced tour guide that took us to all the right places and showed us a lot of interesting things in the area
Excellent tour of Park City and the surrounding areas. Especially enjoyed the Olympic Park and museum and the hidden gem, The Crater. Our guide, Dave, was great. He was knowledgeable about everything we saw. We would book this tour again!
Thanks for taking the tour. We appreciate your business and hope you had a great time in PC. Come see us again.
What a great experience! Mark was an amazing tour guide. He showed us the beauty and history of so many hidden gems we would have never seen on our own. Definitely recommend.
Thanks for taking the tour. We appreciate your business and hope you had a great time in PC. Come see us again.
