We're Hiring!
SacTown Bites - Food Tour Adventures is a young, but mighty food tour company. We offer 5-star experiences to locals and visitors, as well as larger private groups. Our walking tours consist of guiding guests around Sacramento on an adventure that includes stopping in pre-established partner restaurants. Each stop includes a dish and drink pairing. The tours also include many stops at public art sites, such as street murals and art boxes. Our tours are food and drink centric, with a little art and history thrown in. Each tour lasts about 3 hours. Our excursions are much like our walking experiences but include farm visits, and history and information on the region and tour focus. Guests drive their own vehicles.
As a tour leader and guide for SacTown Bites, you are the face of the brand, delivering 5 star experiences to our guests. You exude confidence and calmness, as well as openness and inclusivity. You are the expert in our subject matter and are able to deliver it in an engaging and fun way. Your eagerness to make sure each guest is having a VIP and memorable experience is your jam.
