“Wonderful guide, delicious food.”

Reviewed 30 April 2012

I didn't quite know what to expect of this food walking tour, but I had an excellent time. We learned some great history about Sacramento, had DELICIOUS (fresh, sustainable & local) food from some of the best restaurants in town, and had a wonderful tour guide. Would recommend this to both locals and tourists.
