I'm so glad we booked this trip with Mountain Based! My daughter and I wanted to go to Utah but…read moresince we are not experienced hikers, I wanted to hire private guides. Ended up seeing all the amazing reviews for Mountain Based and asked my family if they wanted to go too. Everyone was super excited and the Mighty 5 national parks hotel tour did not disappoint!!! Tyler and Eric were hands down - amazing. Great drivers, funny, attentive, able to split themselves into infinite pieces to cover all the different speeds of my family members hiking. Tyler even knew I desperately wanted a photo at delicate arch but my wobbly fear of heights legs would not take me over to the photo spot so he offered to escort me there and back and be our photographer! The drives between parks were not bad at all - plenty of gas station stops along the way. The restaurants they took us to were delicious and the employees of the restaurants treated us like gold. The weather was a little toasty in June but it was still GREAT fun. Lots of history, information, facts, tips, safety from our guides. When we asked them for specific things like - taking a group photo at each of the National Park signs - the guides didn't grumble - they made the photos fun! And they remembered! They were sure to offer tons of photos and photostops! Thanks again Mountain Based! We already booked the family again for Yellowstone next year!!!! Whoooohooooo

We went walking around and had lunch and than saw the tabernacle organist play and were back where the lady had dropped us off at the pick up time. We waited about 20 minutes and saw the trolley go to another location and so we walked there and the driver had left for the day. The last stop at that locAtion should have been at 4:17. Why did the 2 buses not run all day until the last stop. My husband and I walked back to the capital where our car was parked. I would never do this hip on hop off in Utah ever. Every city I visit I do the hop on hop off but never again in Utah. I want a full refund. I am so mad.

We got back a litte over a week ago from the "Wonders of Peru" May 2026. This was a fabulous tour…read moreand our first with Brian Judd Tours (definitely, not our last). Steve Judd was our guide throughout possessing the perfect calming and good natured temperment dealing with people and/or unexpected issues. He didn't seem phased or ruffled by much. He was very diligent in making sure every tour member knew what was happening whether we were grouped together or not. He also accounted for each piece of luggage at our various stops. We felt cared for and appreciated. Everything was handled in a professional manner whether it was with Steve or any of the office personnel (pre-tour). All of them were eager to assist in any way possible . . . they shine in customer service! :) All of our infomation packets (Pre-tour & during) were spot on preparing us for every aspect of our experience. We also appreciated the in person / Zoom pre-trip meeting as well as the rapid response to any questions we had. Now for our tour. We loved the size and pace. While the company can't control the weather, it was beautiful the whole time . . . May really is a great time to see Peru. Our local guides, Charo (Cultural) & Pepe (Incan), were warm, humourous, relatable, and knowledgeable. Reynaldo was our expert driver. All of our guides at Machu Picchu (a dream come true), the Amazon (Orlando & crew), and throughout Peru were top notch. We were impressed with all of our accommodations and the whole journey really was "Crafted With Purpose." There was time to rest and recuperate as well as enjoy all of the Peruvian destinations. Peru is so much more than Machu Picchu and we loved our whole experience. If you haven't been to Peru, you must go with Brian Judd Tours.

Takes you on an informative ride through downtown with step off points, and a trip to the cemetary. They provide ghost detector devices that do go off and show activity in different areas. They warn you at the beginning that you probably won't see a ghost, but they remind you to check your photos, as sometimes you will see them in your photos. It's possible someone on our tour got something as the guide was telling the guest to submit her photo. Now for the scary part! As we were riding along a narrow road with sharp turns, listening to our guide tell us of a newly wed couple that haunts the area after a horrific crash on this very road! Suddenly the van scraped roadside bushes and swerved slightly, making us all gasp!!! Pretty sure the guide who was facing backward had to change his shorts! The driver apologized saying she was trying to avoid rough areas. It was PERFECT!! And incredibly timed!!

Grimm Ghost Stories does a good job of taking you around the city. It's a short tour of getting in and out of their van. You will then walk to the "Grimm" site, and the host will then tell you about the tragedy that took place at that very spot. There were only a handful of stops and I didn't I think they were ghostly just sad.

He was an excellent driver and we felt very safe when we had to use a less major road to get from Yellowstone to the Tetons when the mountain pass was snowed in. And his driving ability was on display when he drove us to the top of Utah Olympic Park to view the slopes and bobsled runs, and then turn on a dime to get us back down--now that is some skillful driving!! If we have another tour in this area, would definitely use Le Bus and request Lynn!

Morbid curiosity got the best of me when Facebook recommended an event for a walking tour of true…read morecrimes in the downtown Salt Lake City area. I don't consider myself a true crime expert, but I am drawn to folklore and mystery. So I snagged my friend to join me and we were signed up for later that evening. The price is a little steep-$30 per person, plus (ugh) online fees. But when I learned that this is a one-man show founded by a charismatic ex-radio personality (thanks, Covid), I was happy to support him. Its obvious he has put in a lot of time and effort to get this endeavor up and running. Or, um, walking. He plans to expand to a van in the future to allow tours in all weather. The pace of the tour is very comfortable. We walked about a mile and a half but it was very doable. Bring water, especially when it's hot outside and wear proper shoes. He sends an email with parking and meet up directions-they are easy to follow. Plan to pay five bucks to park, unless you find street parking during free hours. Anyway, I won't give away all the details of the stops, but we visited five locations where crimes have occurred-one as recent as 2016. Jackson, or Nightcat as he calls himself, told us the stories and sprinkled in just the right amount of eeriness with facts to make it both intriguing and educational. He did not exaggerate or try to make the stories more unbelievable than they were on their own. He also shared tidbits of information on other buildings around the area-leaving me wanting to learn more. I would love to listen to him talk more about the history of our town-he has done his research. I hope that he expands his tour offerings-I could see him doing lots of cool routes.
