A walking tour devouring dishes, history, art, architecture, and more
From 2 pm-5 pm, you’ll eat, drink, walk a little, eat again, sip a little more, walk a couple more blocks, and repeat.
All the while, your tour guide skips straight past the free info you’ll find on Modesto’s Wikipedia page and goes for the deep cuts— storytelling that was developed over a full year of investigation using literature, local historians, public artists, chefs, and even the chef’s chefs.
Try authentic low-and-slow Mexican cuisine cultivated over centuries and re-popularized on TikTok. Then, walk a block to sample the favorite treats plated by a nationally renowned food truck chef-turned-brick-and-mortar-owner. Taste the way Modesto eats and how it is influenced by everything from war, economic waves, and immigration to pop culture movements.
Enjoy a diverse menu
