Welcome to Sacramento

Sacramento is the California capitol and one of the state’s most historic cities. Located at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, this is the place where a gold discovery at Sutter’s Mill on the American River sparked the 1849 California Gold Rush. Today visitors can explore Old Sacramento where Gold Rush era buildings, wooden sidewalks, and many museums bring history back to life. Food tours and brew bike rides through the downtown bar scene are very popular. Great weather makes it easy to enjoy outdoor adventures like cruising along the historic riverfront by yacht, whitewater rafting on the South Fork American River, and picnicking in the wine country of nearby Amador County.

We really enjoyed it. So much fun! Mark, the driver and cheerleader, and Megan, taskmaster, were great and worked hard to ensure we had a great time. The other other participants were really fun, too. Two hours is not enough! It flies by.

Our flight instructor was awesome. Two of our grandsons were with us ages 8 and 9. They had a blast. Instructor and operator were patient and fun! I definitely recommend this place.
Music drinks and dancing on a yacht, some of the best fun I have ever had.

Although a tad pricey (for Brits, the FX rate sucks!), this was an excellent tour with the highly knowledgeable, energetic, and personable Dawnie who took us to some lovely eateries in the mid-town, showed us local art, engaged in great conversation and delivered a wonderful afternoon. Thanks Dawnie.
A rich and enjoyable arts and food appreciation experience!

Dawnie made our experience wonderful! She shared a lot of the history of Sacramento, community involvement in current developments in the city, and new intricate details of the businesses that we visited and the artwork we appreciated along the tour! The food and drinks were delicious!
Amazing Celebration!

We had an amazing time on the beer bike tour!!! Paul and Erin were such fun tour hosts. This tour was probably the highlight of our trip to the Sacramento area. Our family was paired with 8 incredible ladies who were all celebrating their 65th birthdays and had been friends since early childhood. We were also celebrating three birthdays. Needless to say we laughed, sang, and celebrated our way through the entire tour. We were still singing when we rolled into the parking lot and ended up staying longer on the bike just to finish Journey's "Don't Stop Believing!" Cheers to Sac Beer Bike for making these memories possible.
Fantastic self-paced tour that was clear, easy and enjoyable. The guides voice was easy to understand, highly recommend!

We were pleasantly surprised to find another tour available from this company, with the focus on this tour being our own backyard! It was very well planned out and it was great to learn about the history of our community and some fun little factoids and insights. We were especially grateful to have fantastic weather while we explored!

My wife and I were looking for an interesting day trip idea and came across this driving tour of the delta. All I can say is Wow. We have lived in and around Sacramento for over thirty years and had no idea this amazing gem existed right in our own backyard. Love how the tour had us traveling along the Sacramento river and showed us the quaint little towns (LOVED Locke China Town and Al the "Wops" especially). Really enjoyed hearing about the robust history of the area - especially fun stories about the old riverboats that plied the river. Also got to see several really beautiful vineyards and wine tasting rooms. And the collection of wineries housed in the old Sugar Mill were really quite special. HIGHLY recommend as a great little day trip. Plenty of places to stop and enjoy along the way. Two great big thumbs up for this tour.
