Follow Salt Lake City’s pioneer history from the city’s “Point Zero” to Temple Plaza on a flexible, self-guided audio walk.
About this tour
Discover how pioneers transformed an empty valley into a city of broad streets, striking architecture, and ambitious civic landmarks on this self-guided Salt Lake City Audio Tour. Begin at the Great Salt Lake Base and Meridian, the city’s “Point Zero,” then follow the route south along Main Street with audio, maps, and geodata available offline.
Along the way, pass ZCMI’s cast-iron facade, once home to America’s first department store, and walk beneath City Creek Bridge, a landmark that still sparks debate among locals. Continue to Temple Plaza, where 91 international flags frame the grounds, and see the reflection pond at Salt Lake Temple. The route ends at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, formerly Hotel Utah, which hosted every U.S. president from Taft to Reagan and remains known for its dinner rolls.
With GPS directions, a mobile app for Android and iOS, and the freedom to explore at your own pace, this Salt Lake City Audio Tour lets you take in the city’s history on your schedule. Download the app and set out when you’re ready.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Salt Lake City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
