Our TOURS
Your Guide To Adventure!
Underground Tours
Come see and learn how Sacramento lifted itself up out of the flood waters during the 1860s and 1870s!
Tour guides explain how the streets and buildings were “Jacked Up!” to avoid further flooding as visitors explore two spaces that were created by the city’s successful raising process. This historical tour includes hollow sidewalks, sloped alleyways, and the Underground spaces themselves. Our colorful cast of guides ensures no two tours are ever the same!

The game is to see if you can hang onto your fortune while facing the city’s rock first years of flood, fire and disease. Will you go Boom… or Bust? This is a seasonal tour.
