Sundays & Thursdays Only • Reserve Early

The Experience: Music & Monuments

We have curated the perfect cultural morning (or evening). Your experience includes two distinct highlights:

  • 01

    The Performance (Temple Square)

    Your journey begins inside the historic Tabernacle, home of the massive 11,632-pipe organ. You will take your seat to hear "America's Choir" perform. Whether it is the live Sunday broadcast of Music and the Spoken Word or the intimate Thursday rehearsal, the sound in this building will give you chills.

    The Insider Tip: Leave the "Sunday Best" at home! This is a public musical broadcast, not a formal worship service. Casual attire is perfectly welcome.
  • 02

    The Sightseeing Tour (Luxury Bus)

    Following the performance, you will board our premium, air-conditioned touring coach for a comprehensive journey through Salt Lake City, including Capitol Hill and the Mansion District.

    The Comfort: Relax in plush, high-back seating while our professional team handles the navigation. You will enjoy unobstructed views of hidden gems you would likely miss on your own.

Beyond the Music

The Sightseeing Encore

The performance is only the first act. Once the final note fades in the Tabernacle, we invite you to board our luxury coach for a curated journey through the landscapes that inspired the hymns.

01

The Sacred Center

Temple Square. You have heard the acoustics; now witness the architecture. We explore the 35-acre grounds surrounding the Tabernacle to discuss the massive granite Salt Lake Temple—a 40-year labor of faith—revealing why this remains the spiritual heartbeat of the West.

02

Symphony in Stone

Utah Capitol Hill. Just as the Choir raises its voice, the Capitol rises above the skyline. We ascend the hill for a guided walk around this marble masterpiece. The crescendo? An unbeatable panoramic view of the valley floor where the pioneers first arrived.

03

The Arrival

This Is The Place Monument. We travel to the mouth of Emigration Canyon to stand where history changed forever. Here, you will learn the dramatic story of the 70,000 trekkers who crossed the plains—the very ancestors who founded the Choir in 1847.

04

Gilded Age Grandeur

South Temple Street. Salt Lake isn't just pioneer cabins. We cruise the "Millionaire's Row" of the Silver Barons. These mining magnates brought immense wealth to the desert, funding masterpieces like the Cathedral of the Madeleine and the Governor's Mansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book?
As soon as your travel dates are finalized. Because this tour includes the Tabernacle Choir performance, it is our most popular experience and tends to sell out weeks in advance (especially for summer Sundays and holidays).

Book with confidence: We offer a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. You can lock in your seats now and receive a full refund if your plans change later.
Is there a dress code for the Choir performance?
Come as you are! There is no formal dress code for the Sunday broadcast or the Thursday rehearsal. While the venue is grand, the atmosphere is welcoming. You are welcome to wear casual clothing (including jeans, shorts, and t-shirts). We simply recommend dressing comfortably for the weather, as we will be touring the city immediately following the music.
Is this a religious worship service?
No. This is a public musical concert featuring a non-denominational inspirational message. It is a cultural experience rather than a religious service. (Fun Fact: Actual Sunday worship services are held in smaller meetinghouses across the valley, not in the massive Tabernacle).
How much time is spent on the tour bus?
It is about half and half. Unlike open-air trolleys, our luxury touring coach offers full climate control.

We strive to keep our guests comfortable in all seasons—so in the heat of summer or the cold of winter, much of our time off the bus is spent indoors (inside the Capitol, the Tabernacle, the Cathedral, etc.) so you can enjoy the history without battling the elements.
Where does the tour start and end?
All tours depart curbside from the Radisson Downtown Hotel (215 W South Temple, Salt Lake City). We return to this exact same location at the end of the tour.
Where can I park my car?
There is a large public parking lot directly across the street from the Radisson Hotel (entrance at 50 John Stockton Drive). It typically charges a small daily fee (approx. $10). This is a safe, central location to leave your vehicle while you enjoy the tour.
How much walking is there on the tour?
The walking is minimal and easy-paced. We designed this tour to be accessible for all ages. At our major stops, we step off the bus for photos and history, but you always have the option to remain on the comfortable climate-controlled coach if you prefer to rest.
Is there room on the bus for wheelchairs or strollers?
Due to the historic nature of our stops and the layout of the touring coaches, we cannot accommodate non-collapsible wheelchairs or motorized scooters. If you have a small collapsible walker or stroller, please call us at 801-364-3333 in advance so we can check if the specific bus for that day has storage space available.

A Legacy of Presidents & Pioneers

Yet, despite their global fame, they remain a local treasure. The singers are your neighbors—teachers, doctors, and parents—who commit to a strict attendance and rehearsal schedule purely for the love of music. Seeing them in their home, the acoustically perfect Salt Lake Tabernacle, is widely considered one of the great musical experiences of a lifetime.
