Great experience!
Kylee was a great tour guide! You would never know she had only been doing this tour for one month. She was very knowledgeable, informative, punctual, and established timing expectations at stops to keep the tour on schedule. Her friendly personality certainly made the tour pleasant!

Not happy!
We wanted to go on the salt lake City drive tour. But when we went to sign up we had to pick a hotel that we wanted to get picked up from in order to make the booking.. We were not staying in salt lake City for an hour away from it so we didn't know what hotels. I called Viator And ask them what hotel was going to be the first three pickups on their list so that I could try and find out about the parking there. The lady from Viator called twice At 8:00 and 9:00 but there was never an answer from the tour company. So then I had to call different hotels and asked if we could park in their lot and the answer was No, It was for ther guests. After about an hour and a half of trying to figure out where we could park in the city we were unfamiliar with so that we can get picked up at a hotel we chose Holiday inn Express . We got there an hour and a half early At 12:30 because we Didn't know where they would start doing their pickups first and there was probably about 15 hotels listed. The tour was supposed to start at 2:00. At 2:10 I called Viator and asked them to find out where they were. Viator could not get a hold of the company. Then Viator told me they would issue a refund. We wanted to see salt lake City which we had never seen and we spent 3 hours of wasted time trying to make the reservation and then waiting for a ride that never came. Our suggestion to Viator is that instead of telling people where they will get picked up and having that as the only option of booking the trip, you should expand the listing to say this is our starting point. Where would you like to meet us and then people who could either drive to the starting point themselves or they could request to be picked up at the hotel. Very very unhappy with our time being wasted!

Soul Inspiring Experience
Great overview of entire area! We had a fantastic experience. Loved the stop at the capitol building! Loved learning so much of the history. So great to see tabernacle and listen to the organ and see all of the buildings!

Salt Lake City Driving Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salt Lake City.
How much does Salt Lake City Driving Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salt Lake City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Salt Lake City Driving Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salt Lake City is not rushed.
Is Salt Lake City Driving Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salt Lake City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Salt Lake City Driving Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Salt Lake City Driving Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Salt Lake City Driving Tour?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salt Lake City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salt Lake City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Salt Lake City Driving Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salt Lake City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salt Lake City?
+
Salt Lake City is a basecamp: Big and Little Cottonwood canyon hikes and ski shuttles, Antelope Island and Great Salt Lake trips, Park City transfers and Temple Square walking tours. Winter transfer reliability is the single biggest quality signal here. On Outty we rank every Salt Lake City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Salt Lake City Guided Bus Tour, Salt Lake City Trolley Tour with Characters & Stories, Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square & Salt Lake City Bus Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salt Lake City?
+
December to March for skiing, June to September for canyon hiking. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salt Lake City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Salt Lake City Driving Tour?
+
Included: Applicable Taxes and Fees; Bottled Water; Professional Local Tour Guide; Comfortable Transportation; and Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Salt Lake City Driving Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 36 listed pickup locations in and around Salt Lake City. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Salt Lake City Driving Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Salt Lake City Driving Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Salt Lake City Driving Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Salt Lake City Driving Tour if the weather is bad?
