I am writing this review for my recent trip through Utah Luxury Tours; specifically, I took the Wonders of the West tour in September and it truly was one of... read more the greatest experiences of my life. I spent a great deal of time doing research for a great tour company as I wanted to see as much as I possibly could in a small group. After reading reviews and doing my research, I decided on Utah Luxury Tours and it was the best decision that I made.
What made this trip amazing was not only the amazing sites, but the people who work there and the personal touches to the trip. In terms of the sites, we saw so many sites, it was truly impressive and awe inspiring. In addition to visiting the Big 5 national parks, being able to see the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon and Monument Valley all in one trip is beyond the biggest benefit of this tour. Also, we saw and visited so many other smaller places, like Horseshoe Bend for a sunset, that each day was truly filled with sites that just got better and better.
Logistically, the planning of the trip was awesome. From being picked up to the airport, to the day- to- day travel and getting to the parks, everything was pretty much flawless. The hotels were either quaint and charming, or modern and upscale and everything ran like clockwork. The van that we drove in was comfortable, spacious and clean.
What really made this trip special were the people behind it. The owner, Brian Murphy, is a consummate professional who is kind, genuine and is super focused on making his patrons happy; his personal touch and investment in each tour to make sure each group was happy was very refreshing and appreciated. Our tour guide, Kevin Earl, was truly a blessing. He not only was kind and caring, but his knowledge and attention to detail was second to none; I can honestly say that he made this trip. Furthermore, his passion for his work can be seen and that made the trip so much better; for example, we had several breakfasts in National Parks that were not in our itinerary to see the sunrise and we had several sunsets at locations that were just majestic; seeing the stars randomly at night is something that I will remember forever.
If you are looking for a great tour of Utah’s national parks plus a ton of other sites, I would definitely recommend Utah Luxury Tour’s Wonders of the West Tour. It is a total no brainer when you factor in how much you see and the ease with which you see it. Thank you again for a once in a lifetime, memorable experience that exceeded all of our expectations!
Hannah at ULT was proactive in coordinating the details of our couples trip. Logistics were smooth and accommodations very nice. The parks are stunning and our side excursions were... read more a blast. Our guide, Jameson Fisher, was the secret sauce to making this trip so memorable with his deep knowledge of each park and the region. He kept us comfortably on track, deftly handled any minor issues, and took us off script several times to cool stuff that made this a unique trip for our entire group. Outstanding!
Amazing trip! Highly recommend Utah tours and our guide Richard. He was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of our trip through the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone! ... read more He not only knew the best places to stop but took us to off the beaten path places which really enhanced our trip! He was super fun and engaging with all the members of our family! We loved the ease of the day being planned out for us and not having to think about so much planning when we just wanted to enjoy the day. We would Definitely book another trip with Utah tours and Richard!
We found Luxury Utah Tours on-line, just browsing the web. The tours looked amazing, so we contacted them. Misty Lee was very helpful in working on our arrangements. EVERYTHING is... read more taken care of! The only thing we did on our own were the flights and our dinners. We were staying in nice areas where it was not difficult to find a restaurant with good food.
We traveled on the "Mighty 5" tour in August 2022. We had an amazing time and a truly wonderful experience! Daniel Weldon was our guide and was outstanding! He picked us up on time each day and took us to amazing places. He is so familiar with the area, that he was able to take us to so many special places and explain all about them. He even knew where and when we were likely to see bison, deer and longhorn sheep and brought us. He nailed it! We saw so many animals and it was so exciting! He studied geology and history and has so much knowledge in his head. He answered all our questions, and if he didn't know, he researched it and answered us the next day. He took us to great lunch places and provided snacks and drinks for us daily. We have never seen such gorgeous scenery in our lives! The canyons, mountains, skies were like nothing we'd ever seen before. We felt so small among the majesty. We had lovely travel companions and we were all at different levels. Daniel took each of our levels into consideration, and since he knew the trails and mountains so well, he guided us on what he thought we'd be able to handle. He was pretty accurate too. We saw many spectacular Petroglyph drawings which fascinated my husband. One day, my husband couldn't come to the hike and since we were so close to the same area the next day, Daniel went out of his way to bring him back there so he didn't have to miss out on them. Daniel is so caring and thoughtful. We stayed in beautiful, clean hotels every night. One of them even had s'mores by the fire pit (made my day!) Each and every park was more beautiful than the next. The colors, size and majestic views of what we were seeing cannot be explained or captured in photos. We enjoyed all our stops at Canyonlands, Deadhorse Canyon, Arches, Newspaper Rock, Moab, Capitol Reef, Goblin Valley, Sego Canyon, Bryce Canyon (my personal favorite) and Zion National Park.
We were so happy with our decision to go on this tour and had such a wonderful time, that we've already booked a future tour. For visiting the west, it's Luxury Utah Tours for us! Thank you Misty, Daniel and LUT for an amazing vacation with memories to last a lifetime! I still look at my pictures every day!
This was a wonderful trip! We stayed at great lodgings, our guide, Tom Mitchell, was THE BEST, and, of course, the sights were stunning. I would highly recommend Utah Luxury... read more Tours - traveling with a small group allowed us to go and see many more places than if we had been traveling with a large group. The organization was outstanding.
Matt the guide was spot on
He knew all the best places to stop and the best sites to see among so many sites to choose from.
Eagles, moose, elk,... read more and more buffalo that you can count
My wife and my two adult sons and their wives couldn’t imagine a better tour
Our guide, Matthew Durrant, brought a whole new level to our experience. He won over our kids in the first 5 min when they saw he brought ALL their... read more favorite road trip snacks. The time flew by in the car as he shared his extensive knowledge of the area, stories to make the landscape come alive and we ended up collaborating on a sound track that complemented the changing landscapes.
Matt expertly navigated us through the hikes (even escorted us on the challenging Angel's Landing). He took care of every detail so my husband and I could just enjoy the experience.
We have been fortunate enough to travel many places but this is by far my sons' (ages 18 and 15) favorite trip.
I can’t speak more highly about my trip to the Mighty Five with Utah Luxury Tours. Matt S. and Kevin were professional, knowledgeable and enjoyable guides for a trip of... read more 11 seniors (and 2 adult daughters, me being 1 of them). They kept us moving yet we never felt hurried. They adapted to the differing abilities and needs of the group. We saw the highlights of the 5+ parks in a short period of time and it was awesome. Accommodations and logistics were managed seamlessly. Thank you Matt and Kevin. I will be back!
We know Utah tour n guide Daniel last year .. to Bryce / Zion national park from other travel agency which we normally used to travel to Europe n... read more Africa . From that trip we got to know our guide Daniel who was fantastic n v knowledgeable on the park we toured .. as such we booked this year glacier park trip thru Daniel via Utah tour so we could have Him as our guide again .
But we were v disappointed with Utah tour personnel that did our travel arrangements.. our hotel room was not with the same view as our traveling friends especially we had paid ahead of time .. facing car park lots .. which we could do it better if we booked the room ! Plus all our mail communication to/fro Utah tour went to our junk mail box n had to get/hear from our traveling friends .on the traveling arrangements .. is a mess !
We have couples of friends with families from Germany /Italy that wanted to go to Yellowstone /glacier park but that personnel experience we referred them to other travel agent that we previously used . Hopefully they’ll get to meet guide daniel in their upcoming trip
Guide Daniel is the best ! N we thank him for making our holiday full of fun with interesting info of the park during our tour trip! He has great personality with good humor!
