What To Expect
Salt Lake Utah Temple
Admire the iconic Salt Lake Temple—the most photographed and recognizable symbol of Salt Lake City. This stunning granite masterpiece took 40 years to complete (1853-1893), with pioneer craftsmen quarrying and hand-cutting every stone from nearby mountains. While the Temple interior is reserved exclusively for Church members, your guide brings the exterior to life with fascinating stories about its construction, symbolic architecture, and cultural significance. Learn about the six soaring spires (the tallest reaching 210 feet), the intricate hand-carved details, the Angel Moroni statue crowning the central spire, and the symbolism woven throughout. Your guide shares captivating tales of pioneer dedication, the architectural features that make this building unique, and its role as the centerpiece of Temple Square. Enjoy photo opportunities from the beautifully landscaped grounds surrounding this National Historic Landmark that has defined Salt Lake City's skyline for over 130 years.
Temple Square
Explore Temple Square—the spiritual and historical heart of Salt Lake City spanning 10 beautifully landscaped acres in downtown. This iconic 35-acre complex is Utah's #1 tourist attraction, welcoming millions of visitors annually to its stunning architecture, manicured gardens, and rich pioneer heritage. Discover the magnificent grounds featuring the Salt Lake Temple with its six soaring granite spires, the historic Tabernacle with world-famous acoustics, seasonal flower displays, and statues honoring pioneer history. Your guide shares captivating stories about the square's significance, the 40-year Temple construction, and the pioneers who settled this valley. Admire the Assembly Hall's Gothic Revival architecture, the Seagull Monument commemorating Utah's miracle story, and the beautifully maintained gardens. This National Historic Landmark represents the architectural and cultural centerpiece of Mormon heritage and remains one of America's most visited religious sites.

5.00Matthew arrived on time, introduced himself. By doing so we knew he knew SLC. He had a load of knowledge that he gave in a way that was p r rsonable, not like it was a script. He related is arrival in SLC into his stops so that you could see he was interested.
An Excellent Tour
