Description
Explore Sacramento on a guided walking tour. Visit the Old Sacramento Waterfront, learn about the Pony Express, and discover the city's greatest engineering feat: the Underground Sidewalks.
Begin your journey at the Old Sacramento Waterfront, a 28-acre National Historic Landmark. Walk along wooden sidewalks and see horse-drawn carriages that evoke the feverish energy of the Gold Rush. Stand at the western terminus of the Pony Express and hear the harrowing tales of riders who connected a nation.
Discover the city's greatest engineering feat: the Underground Sidewalks, where Sacramento literally lifted itself out of the mud by an entire city block to survive the Great Flood of 1862.
As you cross under the gleaming, Art Deco-inspired Tower Bridge, watch as the skyline shifts. Walk the grand Capitol Mall, framed by Sacramento’s legendary canopy of trees—a forest within a city.
End your tour at the California State Capitol, a neoclassical masterpiece surrounded by 40 acres of world-renowned gardens. Discuss the scandals, triumphs, and visionary leaders who shaped the Golden State’s destiny.
