This is a 2 ½ hour walking and tasting tour, and takes place rain or shine throughout the year - so dress for the weather! This is a three part tour! First, we start the tour at a designated meeting spot in downtown Salt Lake City and begin with a 15-minute orientation of Utah’s rich history. Second, we adjourn inside to taste a flight of Utah whiskies hearing the stories behind these distilleries. Finally, we return outside for the 8 block walking portion (35 minutes) touring downtown Salt Lake City, where we show you an insider's view of how the city was designed, where the first tavern was, and even the red light district!

Great Salt Lake Flying Tour
On this unique, adventurous experience you will get a a birds eye view of The Great Salt Lake that puts into perspective the scale and beauty of this top Utah attraction. What would take a full day to see by car, we will squeeze into an action packed 40 minute flight. The GSL is an iconic landmark and you will see views that have been constantly evolving since it’s creation during the Bonneville flood over 14,500 years ago! One of the benefits of visiting the lake by air is we have no negative ecological impact. The sensitive eco-system is able to grow and evolve as if we were never there. You will see many of the animals that call the Great Salt Lake home such as antelope, buffalo, deer, coyote, and even eagles. Upon meeting at the airport I will escort you to our trusty steed, a vintage Cessna Bush-plane straight out of Alaska. The airplane we will be using is one of the greatest tools for exploring the local area and you are guaranteed a flight you will never forget. After a quick safety briefing we will get in the plane, buckle up, and begin our adventure. Half of the flight will be up high with expansive views, and the other half will be "low and slow" where you will feel like we are in a flying car. With four seats there is room for the pilot and three passengers each flight.
Sip, Snack, Stroll Salt Lake City
Walk downtown Salt Lake stopping at the best coffee shops, cafes and local hotspots for the best downtown has to offer. Have a fun Instagram worthy day of light refreshments, drinks and local culture along with tons of tips and suggestions for the rest of your trip. We will also use the local trax train to help you learn how to navigate the city using public transportation. In total we will spend about 3 to 4 hours together visiting some of the most well-known sites in the city such as Temple Square, Gallivan Plaza (one of the sites of the 2002 Olympic games) and Library Square as well as some local favorites such as the Pie Hole, and Ken Sanders Rare Books. Stopping at coffee shops, cafes, and locations based on your interests and food preferences. The best part about traveling with a local is that I can adjust to help create the best experience for the group.

Next we will move on to the chicken habitat and everyone will have the opportunity to observe, pet, and feed them. Please feel free to take lots of pictures! Questions and pictures are encouraged!

PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE BEFORE BOOKING! Price is per [PRIVATE GROUP] (up to 3 people) for a full day (9am-3/4pm). Extra people is $100 for each (safety and didactic reasons) Half day (9am-12:30pm) is $550 (up to 3 people, same conditions with extra people). Please send a message to ask for dates or disccounts if you are booking more than one day. If you are with a larger group and need multiple instructors, don’t hesitate to ask! Learn how to ski in a didactic and progressive way! My plan is to make sure that the person can progress in skiing through my experience and support, always in a safe and entertaining environment for those who are learning. I want the class to be fun but also that the person can feel completely safe and in control of their skis, so they can enjoy the mountain from a different perspective. From little kids to advanced skiers who want to improve their technique or just ski with a guide trough the resort, I want everyone to enjoy a great moment with the wonderful snow of the Wasatch Mountains ❄️❄️
Meditation at Movie Rocks - Guided Hike with Cinematic Views
In the late '60s The Devil's Brigade was filmed up at Movie Rocks. My father was an extra in the film. It is a beautiful lookout point that depicted the Swiss Alps in the film. It is a fun hike that can be challenging, but worth it. The wildlife and shrubbery along with the energy and peace of the rocks makes for a magical experience. We typically do a meditation at the top.
Date Night Hand Making Rings
This is a hands-on class where guests will be taking metal and shaping it into jewelry. I’ll provide enough silver and/or copper for each guest to make a ring or a set of earrings. We’ll spend a short time going over safety and then you’ll have to decide what you want to make. I’ll provide examples of already made jewelry to use as templates if guests need ideas. By the end of the session each guest will have a piece of handmade jewelry to take home with them. Some date night couples like to make rings for each other instead of making jewelry for themselves. Other things to note Bring your eyeglasses. Come prepared to get your hands dirty and dress appropriately.
DiY Coin Rings
2023 Silver Proof Quarters Now Available. This is a hands-on class where you and up to five friends will be taking silver proof quarters and shaping them into coin rings. I’ll provide the quarters. If there's a special year you'd like to commemorate, let me know ahead of time and I'll see if I can get quarters with that date. We’ll spend a short time going over safety and then I will guide you through the process of making your own ring. By the end of the session each guest will have a piece of handmade jewelry to take home with them. Other things to note: I can also do private events and parties, message me to organize.
