Are the buses and trolleys air-conditioned?
Yes. City Sights tours use climate-controlled vehicles for year-round comfort. That matters in Salt Lake City because summers can be hot and winters can be cold or snowy.
Where do Salt Lake City tours start?
Tours depart from the Radisson Downtown Hotel, 215 W South Temple, Salt Lake City. Parking is available, directions provided in your confirmation email.
Should I book direct or through Viator, Tripadvisor, or Expedia?
Book direct on this official City Sights website for our lowest price, free 24-hour cancellation, and help from the Salt Lake City team that operates your tour. Third-party travel sites can be useful for browsing, but booking direct gives you the cleanest support path if you have questions or plans change.
What is the cancellation policy?
City Sights offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before your tour departure. This helps travelers reserve seats early while keeping flexibility if plans change.
Can I book last minute?
Yes, when seats are available. Many guests book the same day or the day before. Because seating is limited by departure, reserving early is the safer choice, especially during weekends, holidays, conventions, and peak travel dates.
