Blake & Ella ROCK!!! Best experience on a tour
Blake and Ella led our tour. I was very impressed with the knowledge and tidbits of information about landmarks, SLC etc that were shared on our tour. I will definitely come back and request Blake and Ella!!!! I travel with adults with special needs on vacations. Blake and Ella worked with us and my clients loved their experience. I will be sure to book again with you as finding a great experience with special needs can be challenging. We are looking forward to our next tours. I also wanted to mention that Blake drove like a pro and we felt very safe while he was driving us around. Very smooth ride. Thank you....

Amazing Tour Guides!
While our tour got rained out so we didn't get to do the gondola ride to the lunch spot, our tour guides were amazing and they pivoted us on a short hike to a view and were so fun and insightful. We would absolutely book this trip again. Travis and Ella's were awesome awesome awesome tour guides.

The beauty of Uath
It was the best. Our guide was one of the best tour guy my husband and I ever had. He was amazing. He knew all the best places to hike and was very helpful on the trails we got to hike.

Highly recommend!
My husband and I wound up being the only 2 on the trip for the day. Blake was our guide and he was just fantastic. He had so much knowledge about the area and the wildlife . The mountains were stunning! Lunch at the top of the mountain was relaxing and the gondola ride up was beautiful. Thoroughly enjoyed our day, thanks!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Snowbird Summer Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salt Lake City.
How much does Snowbird Summer Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salt Lake City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Snowbird Summer Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salt Lake City is not rushed.
Is Snowbird Summer Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salt Lake City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Snowbird Summer Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Snowbird Summer Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snowbird Summer Excursion?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salt Lake City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salt Lake City and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snowbird Summer Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salt Lake City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salt Lake City?
+
Salt Lake City is a basecamp: Big and Little Cottonwood canyon hikes and ski shuttles, Antelope Island and Great Salt Lake trips, Park City transfers and Temple Square walking tours. Winter transfer reliability is the single biggest quality signal here. On Outty we rank every Salt Lake City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Salt Lake City Guided Bus Tour, Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square & Salt Lake City Bus Tour, Great Salt Lake Safari - Discover Antelope Island. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salt Lake City?
+
December to March for skiing, June to September for canyon hiking. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salt Lake City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
