Engaging Commentary in 12 Languages 3 hours 3 stops

Overview

See the best of Salt Lake City in just three hours. Salt Lake Essentials is a guided city tour aboard our closed-top double-decker bus or open-top single-deck bus, following a curated itinerary with time off the bus at three of Utah's most iconic attractions — This Is The Place Heritage Park, the Utah State Capitol with the new Museum of Utah, and Temple Square with its Visitor Center. Between stops, engaging and insightful commentary — recorded by a certified Utah tour guide and available in 12 languages — brings the city's story to life, from the pioneer trails of 1847 to the modern city preparing to host the 2034 Winter Olympics. Unlike our self-paced Hop On Hop Off route, this tour runs on one seamless schedule: one departure, three signature stops, and you're back in three hours with the rest of your day free. Perfect for first-time visitors, conference travelers, and anyone who wants to see the essentials without planning a thing.

Reviews

Best of all, the SLC Bus tours stop and lead you through some of Utah’s best sites, as well as some little known secrets. Though we consider ourselves experts on Utah, we found a few things that we didn’t know existed, right in the center of SLC. We took the Christmas Lights Tour on Salt Lake City Bus tours, and had an amazing time.

The tour guide was super fun and informative! Lived in Utah my whole life and learned some cool history I didn’t know about. The double decker bus was a great way to see the city lights! Definitely recommend this tour!
