Wow, downtown Sacramento has so much to offer and our wonderful guide showed and described awesome murals we would never have known about. Thank you for this wonderful tour!
Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed discovering Sacramento's incredible mural scene. There are so many amazing stories behind the artwork, and we're thrilled your guide helped bring them to life. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again soon! ~heather Founder/Owner
The Downtown Sacramento Mural and Walking Tour is a fun way to view some of the magnificent, splendid, and grand murals that adorn this fair city. You see things you cannot see when driving around. Our guide, Annie, was knowledgeable and personable. I would caution folks, however, if you have any mobility issues or are a slow walker like me, the tour covers several miles, and there is no chance to sit down. The pace was consistently moderate, and I was often behind. I am not sure I would do it again because I had quite a bit of back pain after. Perhaps using a walker or a cane might have helped.
Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your thoughtful feedback, Bonnita! We’re so glad you enjoyed seeing the murals up close—there really is so much you can only see on foot—and that Annie helped bring the art and stories to life. We also appreciate you mentioning the pace and distance of the tour. As noted in our booking details, this experience covers about 2 miles at a steady walking pace and isn’t recommended for guests with mobility challenges. That said, we understand everyone experiences pace and distance a bit differently, and we truly appreciate you sharing your perspective so future guests can make the best choice for themselves. Thank you again for being part of the tour—we’re so glad you joined us! ~heather Founder/Owner
If you ever want a fun thing to do on a Saturday morning I highly recommend the “Downtown Mural and Art Walk” in Sacramento. My wife and I had a super fun time this morning and want to do it again for my birthday. Our tour guide Annie was fantastic! She was very friendly and knowledgeable. 5 out of 5 stars!
