Tour description

Free walking tour through downtown Salt Lake City. We are waiting for you at the Brigham Young Monument, 15 E S Temple St, SLC, UT 84101 to start our tour (free of charge)

During the tour, we will learn about the establishment of Salt Lake City in this region of the Western USA, visit some prominent LDS church buildings such as the Salt Lake Temple, the Tabernacle, the Conference Center, Museums, the Delta Center which is home to the NBA basketball team the Utah Jazz, the Union Pacific Railroad station, the Utah Capitol, and other important points.

I am passionate about sharing the cultural heritage of each city, its origins, development, key events, and unique character. My goal is to connect travelers with the essence of each place we visit. Many travelers still keep in touch with me, which shows that the experiences we share go beyond the trip and become lasting and unforgettable memories.

IMPORTANT: The entire tour is entirely on foot and outside the points to visit, which means that no additional payment is required. Many of the tours end with an ORGAN RECITAL, and some of them with a performance by the TABERNACLE CHOIR AT TEMPLE SQUARE (formerly known as the MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR)

Outside visit

Temple Square

Take a friendly walk with me through Temple Square, Salt Lake City's most iconic landmark. We'll explore beautiful gardens, historic buildings like the Tabernacle and Assembly Hall, and uncover the fascinating stories behind them. No sermons, just stories, told with warmth, humor, and a local touch. Whether you're into architecture, history, or just want a peaceful stroll with good company, you're in the right place.

Outside visit

Delta Center

Feel the energy at the Delta Center, where Utah’s heart beats loudest on game night. This is the home of the Utah Jazz—where legends like Stockton and Malone made history and where today’s stars keep the fire alive. I’ll share quick stories, fun facts, and how this arena became more than just a court—it’s a symbol of pride, hustle, and unity in Salt Lake City. Whether you're a fan or just curious, this stop brings the game to life.

Outside visit

Union Pacific Railroad Station

Step back in time at the Union Pacific Railroad Station, once the grand gateway that connected Salt Lake City to the rest of the U.S. This historic spot tells stories of steam engines, westward dreams, and the people who shaped America’s rail legacy. We’ll explore its role in immigration and commerce, and how it helped make Salt Lake a crossroads of culture. It’s not just a building—it’s a time machine with tracks.
