Salt Lake City Highlights Private Walking Tour

Discover why Salt Lake City is a hidden gem worth exploring on this comprehensive walking tour of downtown. Along the way, I'll tell you of the history of Salt Lake City, from the indigenous tribes that call these lands home, to the trappers and explorers, and the Mormon pioneers who settled here in 1847. Since then, the city continued to see rapid growth and development. This tour takes you past old and modern architecture, including historic buildings on Main Street. Taking a short bus ride, we'll reach the Utah State Capitol for a tour inside this marvellous building which showcases a panoramic view of the Salt Lake Valley. We'll also see historical buildings around Temple Square, such as the Beehive and Lion House, and of course, the Salt Lake Temple. Please not that due to ongoing construction on Temple Square, there may be unannounced detours on this walking tour.
