Customer Reviews
Our tour guide Lydia was great. She was very knowledgeable on the city’s history so we felt very connected to the material. She assisted one of our fellow tourists, reassuring her of her walk home as she was from out of town. She was also very professional with my grandmother who has been known to say some offensive things. She handled it well, and even had a long conversation with her about her hometown. I would recommend her again from her welcoming attitude, professionalism, and empathetic nature. Thank you, Lydia!
Lydia was my tour guide and she was very informative and provided a lot of historical information about people and events that happened in and around the Old Sacramento area. During the tour I captured a blue orb floating above one of the buildings that could only be seen in the photograph. During the extended tour, Lydia spoke with an employee of one of the haunted buildings. He was friendly and had some insight and interesting experiences while working in Old Sacramento.
Our guide Lydia was great. Very knowledgeable and made our tour interesting. Would highly recommend the tour.
