Book with DAWNIE!!!
Marcus_G, Mar 2023
Who knew I needed this!
Dawnie is personable, knowledgeable, and fun.
She is detail oriented so she can easily accommodate your dietary restrictions. I learnt so much about the capital. The food was great and nicely paced out while we took a stroll in Downtown Sacramento. The businesses use local farm to fork venders which makes everything fresh and seasonal.
The added touch was Dawnie personalized her messages with Depeche Mode song titles. We told her we were in town for their concert.
Great experience

Dawnie was awesome and very knowledgeable about Sacramento! The food and drink were great. Got to try things I normally wouldn’t.

The history of Sacramento. The paintings. The food and our great tour guide! We never knew that parts of the town had to be raised 25ft. Very interesting!

My group and I had a great time on our tour. Donnie was a great host and guide. We learned a lot about the local culture and murals around town, and got to discover and eat at places that we normally wouldn’t have gone to. The food was delicious. We will definitely be going back to some of the restaurants we visited during the tour, to try some other dishes.
