Orlando was an AMAZING tour guide!!! He is very knowledgeable about the rich history of SLC and we learned a lot from our experience with him! We were also lucky enough to have had the opportunity to see the world famous Tabernacle Choir since we went this past Sunday! It was a great experience and definitely a must do for your first time exploring the city! We highly recommend it!
Orlando was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. It was a great walk through Salt Lake City. Absolutely recommendable
Our tour guide was a very sweet and friendly person, but almost the entire tour was about the history of the Mormon Church. Just a small bit about Salt Lake City and Utah. It was almost a commercial for the church. Was hoping for a more balanced and varied tour.
This is a walking tour that primarily focuses on the downtown district surrounding Temple Square. My tour guide, Arnoldo was wonderful. He is an amateur historian and answered every question I asked. I now more fully understand the Mormon Church. One of the best tours ever.
Excellent. Orlando, I did a terrific job and describing history of Salt Lake City. He was courteous, kind, amiable, and attentive.
Wonderful! SLC with a lot of interesting history. Orlando a very professional and nice guide. Don't hesitate to contact him.
Thank you for having me Orlando! Orlando is a lovely man and gave me a great tour of the history of the city, Brigham Young and the LDS Church in Salt Lake. He showed me how to access lots of places I didn’t know I could get into, pointed out great food spots to try while I’m here and gave me tips for the rest of my time in the city (e.g. when the Tabernacle Choir are next performing). Really well paced tour, he ran it for me even though it’s off season and I was here on my own! Would highly recommend to anyone who has just arrived in the city and is trying to orientate themselves.
The guide was knowledgeable, pleasant and he knew his stuff about Salt Lake City as well as the US and how it all started here! He provided some extra opportunities for photos and experiences that were along the way. The walking pace was comfortable and easy to navigate.
Perfectly paced walking tour with a sturdy history front load that helped place the city sights in context. Highly recommended for visitors looking at the history of SLC
The information was interesting. Our guide was very soft spoken and difficult to hear due to this and external noises: construction, traffic. He often peppered in long descriptions of his family and my attention wandered.
