What people love about Utah Tours for Seniors
- Mighty 5 From Las Vegas
We can’t say enough about how great a time we had on the Mighty 5 tour, due in large part to our AMAZING guide, Simone. Her knowledge and fun spirit added so much more information that we could have hoped for. Loved our time in the van with the great group almost as much as the incredible scenery and hikes. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour, better group or a better guide. Thanks again Simone for such an unforgettable time.
It was the perfect itinerary. Our guide paid attention to the weather and to the participants and was able to make modifications as needed. He was also an amazing source of information and kept us informed and entertained throughout our travel time and on our hikes. Information about everything from geology to geography, from current politics to early settlers, Native American information and local flora. An excellent tour
