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! ;)

10/10 Recommend - Such a fun experience! My friend and I who attended this tour live in the 209 and have been to Sacramento many times. But being able to do a food tour for the 1st time in Sac and learn things about Sac we never knew PLUS try some really good food spots we've never been to before. Definitely worth doing this tour!

Nice introduction to history and food - Nice walk. Great guide. Knowledgeable and entertaining.
The food was ok. Bread for the avocado toast was soggy.
Other than that something you should do. She gave us recommendations for places to visit after. Knows the food seen of Sacramento like the palm of her hand.
