Very informative and enjoyable guided tour! - I was visiting SLC after 35 years with my wife, and I wouldn't have had a better experience on getting to know the history of important places in SLC than by this tour! The guide was very pleasant and very informed on the history and important current info on SLC, and continuously explained everything that is important to know without showing any hesitation (for all our questions we asked her!). We had enough time to see everything important in SLC in about 2.5 hr, and also enjoyed walking on foot at Temple area (Orchestra Hall with wonderful acoustics), at Heritage place and at the State Capitol! In total, it was a wonderful, pleasant experience for us especially visiting SLC after 35 years! The tour organizers were even helpful in arranging for pick-up from our hotel of residence. I recommend this tour for everyone who visit SLC and want to know about SLC very quickly! Our thanks to the guide and tour organizers making the experience a memorable one!

Perfect tour of the city! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating! The bus was very comfortable and clean. April was a great time to visit with the cherry blossoms in bloom around the Capital and comfortable temps. I went on this tour my first morning in Salt Lake City and it gave me a perfect overview to know where I wanted to visit next or explore in more depth. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting SLC!!
