Buckle up and explore the back country above and around Zion National Park for 3 full hours! If you are looking to go beyond the average 4X4 Jeep tour, Zion Country Off-Road Tours is where it’s at. We are The Experts that take our guests beyond the cookie cutter experience. We skip the fluff and head straight up to the rugged wilderness of Smithsonian Butte Road and beyond. We wind our way to the very tip of Gooseberry Mesa known for its world-class mountain biking.

The day of your tour, we will meet you at the Hampton Inn of Springdale, Utah in our safe and spotless custom Jeep. From there we will drive about 10 minutes towards the back country, an area unseen or even known by most of the 4 million visitors to Zion. As we hit the dirt and along the way, your guide will share layers of knowledge about the history, geology, and biology in a way only a “local” could know.

Who has lived here and how did they survive such a harsh environment? Why are these rocks so colorful? What kind of animal scat is that? Can we stop to take a selfie next to that crazy rock formation? We’ll take time for pictures, questions, and breathtaking views as you look out 40 miles upon the horizon. You are our first priority and we will do our best to follow your interests along the way. We take the time and care to do all the little things that add up to the most memorable part of your vacation in Utah. That’s what makes us better than the rest!

How About Some Suggestions for the Remainder of your Zion Vacation? High Adventure Seekers :

– There are a number of outfitters in Springdale that offer equipment rental, technique classes, and guided trips as needed. You should seek the advice and guidance of these experts before jumping into anything. – Zion National Park is known for its world class canyoneering opportunities. There are so many slot canyons and holes to rappel into and hike your way out of. The Subway, Keyhole, and Imlay are three of the most common routes in the area.

– Mountain biking is great around here. In Virgin, Utah there is the Hurricane Cliffs trail system which has some unique scenery. The J.E.M. Trail is probably the most well-known and isn’t crazy technical. Also nearby for more advanced riders is a trail named Guacamole.

– Hiking one of Zion’s most extreme trails is a good way to spend a day as long as you’re prepared physically and with proper supplies. Angels Landing is probably the most popular trail for thrill seekers. Though it isn’t a long hike, you climb 1500 feet in just a couple of miles while crossing some very narrow sections at the end. A chain is all that prevents a fall from either side. Another trail called The Narrows is a route that takes you in the frigid Virgin River for miles and miles. The beauty of 2000 foot sandstone walls rising above you is an experience you’ll never forget. There are two ways to hike this route: From the top down as an overnight hike (back country permit required) or from the bottom of The Temple of Sinawava and back as a day hike.

Casual Adventure Seekers :

If you are looking for a more laid back visit there is still fun to be had. The rangers at the Zion Visitor Center are happy to provide a seasonal newspaper and additional information you might need for planning things within the park boundaries.

– Zion rangers lead many programs about the wildlife, geology, biology, or history of the area. Memorial Day through Labor Day there are family and/or child oriented programs offered at The Nature Center and other locations in the park as well. Check the park newspaper for a schedule.

– During late spring and early summer months you can rent tubes to float the river through the town of Springdale. Later summer months are typically too dry for easy floating.

– There are quite a few easy to moderate hiking trails in Zion National Park. The most popular hikes are Emerald Pools, Riverside Walk, and Weeping Rock. All three of these trails are accessed by the park shuttle generally March – November.

For the Hungry Traveler :

Springdale has a great selection of cafes and restaurants for dining out and most are locally owned. For breakfast, many people enjoy MeMe’s Cafe as they have crepes, parfaits, and other satisfying morning choices. The local favorite for a fresh lunch is Cafe Soleil. Everything served is healthy but hearty. The traditional choice for dinner may be The Bit n’ Spur as they’ve been around forever and often have live music later in the evenings. A newer dinner choice in town is Kings Landing Bistro which features upscale dining in a relaxed setting. To be fair though, there are lots of great places to eat in the area and everything tastes great after a long day of adventure.

We at Zion Country Off-Road Tours thank you for going with the best and supporting our locally owned business! Happy trails!!

Explore Zion National Park on our Jeep Tours!

Z ion National Park contains some of earth’s most spectacular scenery, yet the vast majority of its 3 million annual visitors will never experience Zion beyond a few feet of the pavement. Those who do know that nature’s best-kept secrets are reserved for those who venture beyond the well-worn trail.

Our tours in Zion make it easy to experience many of southern Utah’s hidden treasures. We take the road less traveled to show you places that most visitors see only in photographs, including stunning panoramas and breathtaking overlooks that have remained unchanged for a million years. You might see thousand-year-old Native American rock art, an authentic ghost town that became a Hollywood favorite, and/or wildlife that doesn’t behave like it lives in a zoo. Choose from our safari, or take a Private Jeep Tour  to wherever you want to go.

The Mesa Vista safari departs from Balcony One Restaurant in Virgin, UT. The  2.5-hour “Mesa Vista” Safari  follows North Creek toward the Kolob Terrace, then explores Smith Mesa. This area provides spectacular panoramas which stretch from West Temple to the Kolob Fingers at the northern end of the park.

The Mesa Vista jeep tour with Kevin was excellent. It was a small group and Kevin narrated the entire tour. We made many stops along the way for views and interesting places. Kevin was friendly and provided great information about the natural aspects of the Mesa and surrounding areas and the history of the area. We highly recommend this to her.

I found this company on TripAdvisor and am very happy I booked with them. The driver (I think his name was Adam, but I could be wrong) was extremely knowledgeable about the region, geography and history of the area. We drove to the top of a mesa and the views were just amazing. This tour is definitely worth taking

What a terrific adventure. We didn't think anything could top Zion but getting out on the high mesas was an amazing experience. Our guide, Kevin, was super knowledgeable on the flora, fauna, geology, and history of the area. Totally enjoyed the three hour trip. (Even saw a rattlesnake).

This was a beautiful scenic desert tour without the crowds of Zion National Park. Although we didn’t spot a mountain lion or coyote, there were many enjoyable little critters , views of far away mountains in Arizona, and a kind, knowledgeable tour guide. Kevin was not only kind and accommodating, but he enjoyed talking about the land and its people.

Let me start by saying Kevin is amazing! He made it feel like the entire group of us were his old friends. My wife and I loved the entire experience from the friendly greeting to the excellent narration and the amazing views along the entire tour. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Zion area. We greatly enjoyed this tour because it was personable and no long lines or crowds. We rode in the white ford truck and it was comfortable. Also Kevin had lots of cold waters for us and offered to take photos at every stop. Zion Jeep Tours is a must do when you visit the area! P.S. don’t forget to ask Kevin about Zoey.

We toured with Zion Jeep Tours on 7/13/2023, our guide was Kevin and he could not have been more perfect. We were picked up on time and given several options of what we'd like to see. Kevin is intimately familiar with the area, and was able to spotlight points of interest and add interesting insights that we would never have known otherwise. I would highly recommend hiring Zion Jeep Tours and Kevin if you are interested in seeing parts of Zion National Park that most others don't get to see.

Best of Moscow by high speed train

By shuguley , February 15, 2014 in Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Recommended Posts

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

Share on other sites.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.   Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?   My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.

She was great to hang with for the afternoon and we would definitely recommend this tour and Nicole to anyone. Read more Written October 26, 2023

She pointed out interesting items about the history and the native plants on our tour.Nicole drove over big rocks gingerly so as not to break anything on the Jeep and not to rock the passenger. Highly recommended Read more Written October 4, 2023

• elainesD4964XW 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Begin your Utah vacation here! This trip was the best! Our guide, Joel, was the reason why! He taught us about nature, history, Native American use of the environment, flora, fauna, and more. As our trip through the Utah area continues we are constantly saying, “Remember Joel telling us about that…. (Bird, flower, rock, event…etc.). The information we got from that tour has enriched our trip! Read more Written September 16, 2023

• Kevin L 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great tour, great guide Great tour, wonderful driver/tour guide Joel was awesome. Very educational tour. Well worth the money. Highly recommend this tour. You will see snd learn things that you just can’t do on your own. There were three couples in the jeep. Ride a little bumpy but this after all is an “off road” tour. If you have time take it.
