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.

Walk downtown Salt Lake stopping at the best coffee shops, cafes and local hotspots for the best downtown has to offer.

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.

Guided Four-Wheeler Tour
Have you ever driven past the beautiful mountains in Cache Valley on your way to Yellowstone National Park and had a burning desire to explore them. I'm not talking about a drive up the canyon, I am talking about really exploring the mountains. I will take you on your own personal four-wheeler ATV on a mountain trail. We will meet at one of the many trailheads. From there we will have a brief safety instruction session and some practice driving on the four-wheelers. We then head up the trail, each person on their own four-wheeler. I will lead the group along the trail, stopping along the way to take breathtaking photos of Mountain views, fields of wildflowers, and wildlife. We will enjoy a light snack and drinks and may even play in the snow drifts depending what time of year it is. When you are ready we will head back down the trail to our vehicle. People who have taken this tour in the past who are from outside the area leave with a sense of awe and with a connection to the mountain that you can't get any other way. As with any expedition into the mountains there is often times challenges and the group will grow together. We do everything in our power to keep these tours safe and fun. Keep in mind that 4-wheeling can be a dangerous activity.
Local Food Walking Tours
Gather 'round, food adventurers, at the iconic crossroads of South Temple and State Street (southwest corner, where the magic begins!). Here, I'll whisk you away on a tantalizing time-travel tale, unraveling the threads of Salt Lake City's vibrant beginnings. Next stop? A culinary hotspot! As we step into a local gem, your taste buds will tango with exclusive flavors. We'll dive deep into the stories behind the dishes, the sagas of the owners, and the rich tapestry of local culture. This isn't just a food tour; it's a bonding journey. Friends, tourists, and proud locals will bond over shared plates and shared stories, leaving with a newfound admiration for the spirit of Salt Lake City and its people. As we meander through downtown's culinary hotspots, you'll become a connoisseur of both the city's history and its mouthwatering cuisine. This isn't just a walk; it's a feast for the senses, creating memories that linger long after the last bite. Don't fret about parking! There's a treasure trove of underground parking at the nearby City Creek Mall.

Get ready to discover the taste of Park City without leaving your own dining room! Feel free to put your apron on and cook some of the dishes with me!

Oh and don’t worry about tidying up, everything will be left spotless for you to continue to enjoy! Growing up Italian in America set the tone for my culinary journey.

Every family member can cook and does cook, the kitchen in any home was buzzing and like any working-class New England family we kids were raised by all of them. Please note that to book an experience there is a minimum of 2 guests required.
