Q&A

Q: Can I do this tour if I have mobility issues? Are the paths accessible?

A: Old Sacramento does have some uneven paths and cobblestones, so it might be tricky for anyone with mobility issues. However, many areas are accessible with care. If you stick to the main streets, you should be okay. It’s best to bring a friend or family member along for support if you're unsure!

Q: Is there a specific time of year that's better for this tour? What about the weather?

A: Spring and fall are definitely the best times for this tour! The weather in Sacramento can be quite hot in summer, making a walking tour less enjoyable. Also, spring's flowers and fall's colors add extra beauty to the historic district. If it rains, you can still do the virtual option from home, so it’s flexible!

Q: Do I need to book in advance, or can I just show up?

A: You don’t have to book in advance since it’s a self-guided tour! Once you purchase it, you have lifetime access, so you can do it whenever you want. Just make sure to download the app and your audio before heading out to avoid any connection issues.

Thinking about gifting the Old Sacramento audio tour! Is it worth it?

I’m considering this self-guided audio tour for my parents' anniversary. They love history but aren’t super keen on large groups. I heard you can do it at your own pace, which is a big plus for them. Anyone tried it? How’s the audio quality and info? Any tips on what to wear?

Just did the Old Sacramento tour! Here’s my experience!

I finally did the self-guided audio tour last weekend and it was awesome! I spent about 2 hours just wandering around and soaking in all the history. The stories on the app were super engaging. I especially loved learning about how they raised the city to avoid floods! Highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys exploring at their own pace.
