Disappointed in. Salt Lake

1.00I always book thru Viator; but this tour was a let down. First the tour guide completely ignored us when we arrived. Even when others pointed out that we were waiting to board, he continued to talk to a peer. Not the end of the world, but it certainly was not welcoming. I was so disappointed in the tour as I realized that everything that we did, I could have accessed for free. The tabernacle singing is open and free. The capital walk thru is free. All of the information regarding the temple square can be received for free at the welcome center. There is so much history regarding slc and the Mormons that simply wasn’t discussed. We drove by historic homes with little to no valuable information provided. This is the first and only Viator tour that I would not recommend to my friends and family. There is certainly no value from this tour. If you are worried about transportation, the light rail can take you to all of these places with a very minimal fee. One final note, the tour guide didn’t take an accurate count and he was going to leave two people behind. Multiple people had to tell the tour guide that people were missing.
Wonderful experience!

5.00This was an informative, comfortable way to see SLC. Our guide was very knowledgeable regarding local and state history. I learned so much that I might never have known. He was a good driver, drove slowly and safely so that we could see things, and pointed out so many architectural details on historic homes and the Capital building. I highly recommend this company, and the tour fee is more than reasonable for the experience.
Amazing Tour

5.00First time visitor to SLC. I was in town for a convention with the nights free. My coworker bought me my ticket. The pickup was right around the corner from our hotel. Todd, our guide and the other tourists were waiting for us. Right from the start, Todd was very friendly and informative. He explained everything we saw on the way to This is the Place Heritage Park and the Capital building. I loved the Mountain Views. Todd really knows his city. It was like a friend giving us a personal tour. I would highly recommend this short excursion, and don’t forget to ask for Todd as your guide.

5.00Very comprehensive of the history of the Morman religion, area and traditions. Spaced out correctly. Sundays seem to be a day that many of the sights are closed - might want to put that in your literature, just to help with expectations.
