First food / walking tour. It was great.

Nice tour of the immediate East Sacramento area with stops at a coffee shop, Vietnamese restaurant, bakery and a drink at Hawkes. Learned a lot about the food scene in Sacramento.

Just do it! You won't regret.

The tour was awesome, Dawnie was awesome, and the food was too! We had such a fun time trying all the food and seeing all the sights. My favorite part was when I said I had never tasted Persimmon and Dawnie said hold that thought. Later on, she took us to her coop and asked if we could try one. It was a wonderful morning spent with wonderful people! Thank you so much.

Operator response

I'm blushing! The best tours start with great guests and you sure proved that. Thank you! & persimmons of the world, watch out, she's coming for 'ya! Thank you for the great review and we look forward to seeing you again soon (next year's conference?!?!).

Great Tour and Delicious Food

A small group of us planned to go on this tour together, and I am really glad we did! Dawnie was a knowledgeable guide, going out of her way to make sure we had an amazing experience. There were 4 different stops to try food, and we got to try a variety of different dishes she had selected - all were top notch. Dawnie shared history about the area, along with sharing stories and recommendations for the local food scene. This tour was definitely a great value, and unique way to learn about the area - definitely recommend!

Operator response

See a Neighborhood...Enjoy a Walk...Enjoy the Local Food

There is no better way to get a feel for a city than a food walking tour and this tour was no exception. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and an absolute joy to spend time with. It was fun to see a neighborhood of a local city and one with whichI was not familiar. I highly recommend all the Local Roots Food Tours.

Operator response

Super Tour

Dawnie was great. She tolerated our late arrival (blame Apple) and showed us around her neighborhood. She was gracious and informative. The food selections were so tasty and we (including the Sacramento. resident) learned a lot about the area. It was such a fun experience.
