Highly Recommend!! - Our work team enjoyed a tour with Dawnie as a team building time. It was AMAZING. The food was great, the history we learned was interesting. We had a lot of fun spending the afternoon tasting yummy food, learning the history of the area and viewing local murals along the way. I lived in the Sacramento area my entire life and never new this existed. I wish I had know sooner! I am telling all my friends and family to go and enjoy a tour. You will have a great time.

Don't miss this tour! - Oh my gosh this was such a fun tour! We live in Sacramento and actually live in the very area we toured and we still learned so much and tried some of the restaurants that we have been wanting to try but just hadn't made it yet. Dawnie was super entertaining and so knowledgeable. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this tour so much so that I plan on taking the rest of my family very soon. I honestly think that everyone who lives in this area should take this tour you will be amazed at how much you learn about your neighborhood, and if you are not from the area I think this tour will make you understand why we love our small big town of Sacramento!

Upscale food tour with an art and wine twist- We Loved It! - Dawnie, the owner of this food tour, was awesome. She has an advanced degree in food science and has been in Sacramento for >30 years. Her attention to detail, accommodations for vegetarians, and food and wine sampling choices were top-notch. We were pleasantly surprised to see how artsy and upscale Sacramento (away from downtown and Old Sac) was, and our party of 5 loved the whole experience.

Perfect Way to Experience Sacramento - My friends and I visited Sacramento for the first time, traveling from Myrtle Beach, SC. We booked this tour to get a good sense of the area and we were thrilled with the experience. Dawnie took us for coffee/burritos, Vietnamese food, pastries and a wine flight with tapas. We enjoyed the beautiful murals in the Sutter district and the history of the cannery. We got a sense of the housing and markets in the area. The best part was how we conversed so well with Dawnie it was like visiting a friend who lived there. It was clear she customized the tour to our personalities. As we were finishing up the morning tour she gave us some good suggestions for how to enjoy the rest of the day - these were much appreciated and we enjoyed those activities as well.
