We had a fantastic time... - We had a fantastic time on this 3-hour Food Tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a lot about the local culture. She also had great conversations with us as a couple, making the experience feel very personal and enjoyable. The food was perfectly arranged, with each dish offering something new and delicious. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the city. Don’t miss it!

When you think you know it all, you don't! Go in the store and learn. Enjoy both food and knowledge of the city - The depth of knowledge that our tour guide displayed was amazing. Certainly they were things that I did not know, nor did my son who is in the hospitality industry and lives here in Sacramento. We would certainly recommend this tour for any of our fellow foodies. Aside from her food and beverage knowledge, we are able to learn a lot about Sacramento and it's downtown history.

Food was great! Tour guide even better! - We went on a three week "tour" of the Pacific Northwest, which included the Sacramento area. This food tour is one of the highlights we experienced. We have always enjoyed food walking tours while on vacation for the history and local foods showcased and have probably been on more than a dozen. By far, this was the best food tour we've experienced! Dawnie is so in love with the Sacramento food scene that she bubbles over and cannot contain herself in sharing that love with others. The food at every stop was delectable and unique. Her knowledge of Sacramento and its history only made it better. One cannot go wrong in booking this tour! P.S. If system would allow, I'd rate this a 10-star vs. a 5-star! ;)
