Planning your history tours day

Sacramento is where the California Gold Rush met the transcontinental railroad. Our history tours walk you through Old Sacramento's wooden boardwalks, 1850s brick facades and the riverfront that built the state capital. Most travelers pair one of these experiences with a walk along the Old Sacramento waterfront, lunch in Midtown and an evening on the river. Book at least three days ahead in peak season, and choose a morning departure if you plan to do two activities in the same day.
