Food tastings, Guided tour
SacTown's food tours deliver exactly what Sacramento visitors hope for: knowledgeable guides who genuinely love their city, delicious food stops, and fascinating stories about local history, art, and architecture. The guides, particularly Samantha, Mariah, and Leyla, consistently earn praise for being engaging, thoughtful, and passionate about connecting guests to Sacramento's culinary scene and cultural landscape. They go beyond just introducing restaurants, weaving in insights about murals, buildings, and hidden gems around town. What makes these tours special is how the guides tailor experiences across different neighborhoods. You'll find options exploring Historic Old Sacramento, Midtown's vibrant food scene, and even specialized experiences like vegan food tours. Multiple reviewers mention learning new things about Sacramento despite being longtime residents, which speaks to the depth of knowledge these guides bring. The enthusiasm is contagious, making these tours work beautifully for everything from work team outings to birthday celebrations to solo travelers wanting an insider's perspective on the city.
Samantha was amazing! She definitely made us feel at home right away. All of the food was great. Her knowledge of the city and art was incredibly vast. We now we have so many new options for food and drink when we come out this way. I would highly recommend her for your future outings.
