5.00Leyla was an enthusiastic tour guide who filled both our stomachs and our minds during this great tour. We were able to sample a variety of foods while learning the history of Old Sacramento. Leyla was very personable and welcoming to all of the people in our group, and she gave us plenty of time to both ask questions and enjoy the food.

5.00The tour guide, Samantha, was excellent. She was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The multiple stops included restaurants, local businesses and historical points of interest. The food and drinks were fantastic and covered a wide variety of cultures. We ate a couple of items that we would probably have not ordered on our own, and they were delicious! We whole-heartedly recommend the tour to others!
