If you're planning a group trip, celebration, or getaway to Salt Lake City, Utah, you're in for a treat. From the jaw-dropping Wasatch Mountains to the surreal Bonneville Salt Flats, this city is a hidden gem for private tours and memorable group experiences. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, planning a bachelorette party, or just looking for unique things to do in Salt Lake City with friends or family, this guide has you covered.
What makes these tours stand out? They're all run by a passionate local who turned his love for Utah into a thriving tour company. After curating an unforgettable itinerary for his wife’s East Coast friends, he saw a gap in the market for private tours in Salt Lake City. Fast forward to today, and his team is now known as the premier private tour provider in Salt Lake City. They offer customizable, fun, and scenic group tours that blend stunning landscapes with local charm—and they do it in style (we’re talking Teslas and panoramic sunroofs).
“My wife had some friends come from the east coast a few years ago, I set up an entire itinerary for us to do. I think that is really what sparked it for me. It was my first taste in doing tours really of any kind, and wanted to see if it was something I could make a living from. That has proven to be true.“
Now, let’s break down each experience and what makes these a stand out option for your group when in Salt Lake City!
If you’ve never driven through the Wasatch Mountains, you’re in for a treat. This half-day tour is a stunning, laid-back ride through one of the most breathtaking mountain ranges in the country—yes, the westernmost edge of the Rockies. Think charming mountain towns, shimmering lakes, cascading waterfalls, and, in October, a colorful explosion of fall leaves.
This tour is totally private, and the panoramic sunroof in the vehicle means everyone can soak up the views—from front to back seat. Plus, the guide isn’t just knowledgeable, they’re like that friendly local who knows all the secret spots and loves showing them off. It’s the kind of authentic Salt Lake City experience that’s perfect for travelers who want to see Utah like a local.
Why We Love It for Group Travel:
Ever dreamed of going where land speed records are broken? Now’s your chance. Just two hours west of Salt Lake City, the Bonneville Salt Flats stretch into surreal, glistening infinity—and on this tour, you won’t just stand there and stare, you’ll actually drive on them. Fast.
Your guide will take you out on the flats in a Tesla (yes, really), and you'll have the option to unleash your inner speed demon—safely, of course. Even if you’re not into speed, the landscape alone is worth the trip. It's like being on another planet, and your guide will help you create some epic group photos to prove you were there.
Why We Love It for Group Celebrations:
This tour is a love letter to Salt Lake’s three most iconic canyons: American Fork, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood. You’ll cruise through these stunning alpine corridors, surrounded by wild forests, towering cliffs, and serene mountain lakes. Want to get out and hike? Pick a trail and your guide will tailor the hike to your group’s preferences and skill level.
There’s even the option to ride a tram to the top of a mountain for views that will make your jaw drop. Plus, your guide is down for whatever. Want to stop for a Dirty Soda (a fizzy Utah favorite)? You got it.
Why It’s Perfect for Group Trips:
