Great way to veer away from Sydney’s tourist haunts and see a Sydney suburb - Catrina was helpful and made us feel like a local!

The Sydney Secret Food Tour was a fantastic experience. Not only was the food delicious, but it was a great experience exploring Surrey Hills with our guide Karina. Karina did a fantastic job giving us the local area history along with the great experiences.

We loved this food tour! Our tour guide was Karina who was excellent in sharing info about the food and neighborhood. It was a very rainy day and was grateful they didn't cancel. Some places closed, but Karina did an excellent job pivoting to allow us the full enjoyment of the various foods and establishments. At the end of our tour she made sure everyone knew how to get back home safely via light rail, train, bus, uber. Thank you for such a lovely day!

We had a nice afternoon with Karina. The food was yummy and it was just enough to comfortably fill you. Be warned tho the description of this excursion is completely wrong. It has nothing to do with seeing any of the popular spots like the bridge or opera house. You only stay in one neighborhood. Also the food varies a bit from the description so don’t expect what you read about.
