Even before we met our guide Shelly, the tour owner kept in touch with us to see if we still wanted to take the tour since it was predicted to rain. We went ahead and took the tour and, luckily, the only rain (and hail!) come while we were indoors enjoying a bowl of hot Pho; Perfect! We got to try some neat restaurants and a variety of food and wine during the tour as well as learning a little bit about the Sutter area of Sacramento. OUR ENTIRE GROUP VERY MUCH ENJOYED THE TOUR!

Thank you for taking the time to review your Local Roots Food Tours tour. And, thank you for being such good sports about the weather; your tour got a bit of everything (rain, hail, sunshine) that day! We do hope to see you on another tour soon as there is so much to explore in Sacramento! Thank you! -- Dawnie

This was a great way to understand a little more about Sacramento's food culture which is driven by a 'look local first' attitude. The food experienced was delicious and my guide (Shelley I think, sorry I can't remember) was great to hang out with as we wandered around the quiet streets. We tasted American, Vietnamese, Modern, coffee & Gluten & Dairy free items and even had a wander through the Sacramento Co-Op which is an amazing local produce and natural type of food store. A mix of history and modern local culture - this tour was a great way to spend a cool day in Sac.

The tour was great - very informative and delicious! Our tour guide was excellent! I would, however, reverse the order of the restaurants visited so that the heavier foods ham and cheese sandwiches and then tacos would be served towards the end of the tour rather than at 10:30 a.m. It seems that most people would prefer the bakery/muffins before the lunch items. Thank you for a great time.
