    Well Worth the Price
    Had such a great time on this food tour with Dawnie. As a newcomer to Sacramento, it was great to get a history of the place while enjoying delicious food. This was definitely well worth the money--waaaaay more food than I was expecting--I wish I could have taken leftovers! I plan to come back to Sacramento and bring another family member on one of these food tours.

    Great food with a great tour guide
    I enjoyed the Downtown Sacramento Historical Food tour with Dawnie. She was very knowledgeable about Sacramento, the local murals and the food scene. The tour had a delightful selection of food and drinks, and I discovered new places I wouldn't usually try. For example, if it weren't for the tour, I wouldn't know about K street and its history.

    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.

    Great guide and tour
    Donnie was a great hostess, we felt like we were visiting an old friend. There was plenty of food, and the variety was a perfect mix of area restaurants. It was a beautiful day for walking, and Donnie even took the time at the end to walk with us to a cidery we wanted to try. I would definitely recommend this experience.

    A Great Way To Spend the Afternoon, Learn About the Art and History of the Area and EAT
    We had a wonderful time on this food tour. Dawnie came out in the rain to show us the food and art scene in Midtown. We had a group of 6 of varying ages and she tailored the tour to make possible for all of us to enjoy the day. Dawnie is extremely personable, knowledgeable and clearly loves Sacramento and what she does. As a group we have done many, many food tours in cities all over the south and pacific west and this is up there as one of the best, if not the best. In fact, we took another tour the following day of our three day trip in another part of Sacramento. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to take all the tours. This is a great way to spend the afternoon and it's bargain priced for what you get.

    Food tour fun
    What an incredible food/art tour we had! Our guide, Donnie, is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about food, food/restaurants in the area, the city of Sacramento, the fabulous murals in the area. Plus, she is VERY enthusiastic about being a tour guide. She planned some wonderful stops at restaurants, the food was spectacular with plenty of food to try. We loved the whole experience!

    The best food tour ever
    Our guide was amazing. Of course she brought us to wonderful food and drink. However she was so knowledgeable about the history of the area, the art and architecture, and environmental and political issues.

    CC was great, and a wealth of knowledge. As a local, I really appreciated learning the things they didn’t teach in 4th grade CA history. The food was all delicious!!! I can’t wait to try the other tours they offer. This would be so fun to book with a group of friends too!

    Must take Food Tour while in Sacramento CA
    Hands down the best part of this tour was our Guide CC! A close 2nd was Evelution Restaurant. Honestly the entire selection of places and food were outstanding. CC is the perfect Gem who's knowledge of history and historical sites, experience, love of what she does and welcoming personality completes a must take Food Tour of Sutter District when visiting Sacramento CA! Only thing missing was me not taking any pictures of the places visited.

Really didn't know what to expect when our friends asked if we would like to go on this tour. It was so beyond our expectations. Donnie greeted us at our appointed time and off we went to experience great food and art work. We had excellent variety of foods, a cocktail, coffee/chi, and amazing desserts-all while walking around learning about the beautiful murals in Midtown. Donnie shared her wealth of experience about the food industry and art as we walked and ate our way around town. Donnie's warm personality and ability to adapt the tour to people's needs made the tour so much fun! I would highly recommend this tour whether you are a local or visiting from out of town!!!!

We did this tour for my 55th birthday with 7 friends and family members. I wanted to do something fun and different and this did not disappoint. We loved Cici and all of her energy and knowledge of the Midtown art scene and learning about the murals. The food stops were all fantastic and we finished the tour on very full stomachs. I would highly recommend this tour and can't wait to do the others!

CiCi was a great tour guide. She really went out of her way to accommodate my special food needs and adapt to our party. I felt taken care of in a situation where I often feel left out. I really enjoyed visiting/tasting/seeing/hearing about the unbelievable resources to appreciate in Sacramento. I was delighted to hear about the Mural Festival held each year in Sac. I had no idea. I would recommend this to anyone interested in food and art. It will definitely be a go to excursion for folks that visit me from out of town.

Our food and art tour of Midtown with CeCe was great. We had company from Seattle WA who are foodies. It was perfect for them. Even though I used to work downtown in Sacramento, I never did see all the artwork that was in midtown. It was great to see it and have CeCe explain the history. I will certainly reserve this tour again when we have out of town company.

Such a fun and incredible tour! Dawnie was so friendly, insightful, and fun. She even gave us different food recommendations based on what we wanted to do while in the city. She had so much fun information to impart about the city, it's history, the street art, and the restaurants. The restaurants we stopped at were amazing. Definitely worth checking out!

We had so much fun on this tour! Dawnie is engaging & knowledgeable, and is obviously passionate about food, art, and the farm-to-fork concept in Sacramento. We tasted a variety of foods, saw some wonderful murals (we live nearby and have probably driven by these places hundreds of times, but never noticed the art) and learned a lot! The tour had a nice relaxing pace; Dawnie goes out of her way to make everyone comfortable. If you’re looking for a fun activity with food, art and a little exercise, this is it.

My husband and I did the Midtown Arts tour on 2/20/22 with CC. We originally planned this to be our Valentine's Day date, but then we found the Super Bowl was happening on the same day. Rescheduling was super fast and easy.

We had a fantastic time on the tour. Even though we're locals, we'd never spent much time in Midtown Sacramento. We learned so much. We saw the city with fresh eyes. CC was a great guide. We loved her enthusiasm and energy. She was so knowledgeable about the artists and the murals.

The food was very good too. We had delicious tacos, empanadas, churros, coffee, drunken noodles, pizza, and even a cocktail! We'd done walking foodie tours before, and we'd left still kinda peckish. We were so full after this tour! As a bonus, our group let us take the leftovers home (the others were staying in hotels without fridges), and we had them for dinner. Love the no-waste mindset!

Bottomline: We loved the tour. We highly recommend it to locals and visitors alike. It was a perfect day.

I have been on many tours around the world this tour is one of the best. I would rate it a 5+ stars, those who have gone with me feel the same. The food, history, culture and art are a wonderful mix. I am taking the trip for the third time this December with some family members. I am looking forward to it.

Our guide , CC, was outstanding. Her historical knowledge, outgoing personality, and choices of restaurants we stopped at during the tour made this the best tour we’ve experienced. We highly recommend this tour. I’ve lived in Sacramento 40 years and never knew about these award-winning places. This is one tour you don’t want to miss. A guaranteed five-star experience. Can’t say enough about our truly wonderful experience on this tour.
