“K Street tour not as good as the Origins tour”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

This is the second tour I have been on with this group. The first one ( "the origins of food") was AWESOME, so I was inspired to try this one when I had two out-f-town guests. The tour guide started late b/c she kept waiting on one person. We kept wondering - why does she not call or text him?... More

“A Great Experience”

Reviewed 13 April 2013

Today we took the food and history Sacramento tour. Ashley was a great tour guide and the food was excellent. I learned so much today about Sacramento even though I have been in the area for over five years! I would recommend this to anyone.

“Food & History & Fun Too!”

Reviewed 31 March 2013

I love doing walking tours when I travel, especially foodie tours because you get great food, lots of history, and some exercise too! My sister and I loved our foodie walking tour with Local Roots on a Spring Day in Sacramento. We did the historic Sutter District tour, and all the stops were farm to table, slow food, organic type... More

Excellent. Will definitely go on another tour. Already telling friends about it. Glad we had a groupon, though; otherwise would have been $60 per person-- a little high.
