We drove it. It was very spread out and you would have to back track to return to your vehicle. We parked at the Capitol on the street. Saw that then drove over by the pioneer museum for that. Then we drove down the hill and parked on the side of the conference center and walked the Mormon square from there. The video was a bit difficult to keep on track. Homestead quit using it about halfway through. Really not worth the money. Buy one and listen on speaker setting.
This tour took 3hours. Not 1 hour. Connection was bad. We would lose connection in the middle of the tour. Also could not find certain items due to construction
Thanks for taking the tour, the whole tour is about a mile long and the audio content part of it is just over one hour so if you listen to the whole thing straight through, I only recorded one hour of content. That being said there’s a lot to see a lot of places to enter in a lot of places to explore so this Tour could take you all day. I have to look into why you lost the connection. The tour ship play off-line no problem. Could you email me at info@walkntours.com I’d love to look into it more to help thank you Greg
Quite an interesting tour, well paced and informative. The only issue was that it was outdated. It was a COVID era tour and more is open now. Also there’s a lot of new construction around Temple Square which made following the tour directions challenging.
Great walking tour of Salt Lake City, with focus on Mormons and their role in Salt Lake City history. Would recommend to do State Capitol tour first, and then proceed with this one. Very informative!
I needed the help of my son to get the app to work. Downloaded fine but trying to activate was difficult. The audio goes faster than you can walk. The map on my cell phone was upside down for directions and I found that confusing. We didn’t finish the tour. I felt like it was more than an hour of walking and then we had to walk up a very steep hill to get back to our car
The tour was interesting, even to someone who is LDS and has lived in Utah my entire life. Most information was accurate with a some inaccurate information regarding LDS history mixed in.
We really enjoyed the tour. We did it with kids so at the end we enjoyed the Mormon History Museum while dad went to get the car. Would do it again.
Download app did not work and requested duplicate or triple payments. App and payment code repeatedly asked for payment Please refund triple payment each time the App lost it place and requested another payment.
Sorry to hear this. It sounds like you did not get your ticket? You only need to buy the tour once, here :). There are no other purchases needed. Maybe you had. different app? You'll need the WalknTours app to take this tour. Please email me at info@walkntours.com with more info, I'd love to help.
Found the information interesting and the chosen sites pertinent to the history of the town. Easy to use and the host's voice was easy to listen to. Would recommend to future visitors. Price was perfect.
Easy to follow and interesting information. Nice quick tour if you are short on time. The guide gave clear directions and tips.
