Salt Lake City city tour with Mark and lunch at red rock brewery - We just finished our 10:00am city tour with Mark and it was wonderful. He has a wealth of knowledge of the city of Salt Lake City. So many things to see, and do in Salt Lake City that trying to do it in one day is not enough time He recommended the red rocks brewery for their beers and food. The food here is fantastic and the beer is great at reasonable prices. I highly recommend it.

Information ride through city and outskirts. - Found tour bus waiting when we showed up 25 minutes early. Mike checked his list and pointed out restroom before we started. Full of fun facts while keeping us entertained. Enjoyed all the stories and stops. 30 minutes at Pioneer Village was nice with a view of the basin. I liked Mike talked Utah and LDS history not just the city and Utah University. We missed the organ concert 😟 wasn’t expecting it though. Too bad leaving town before we can follow-up on suggestions for further sightseeing.

So, So - The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city. However, thank goodness it wasn't a hot day, because the back of the bus gets no AC. Also, the Morman Tabernacle is only an observation from the bus. There is no getting off at that location.
