5.00This was a phenomenal tour and a great way to experience food in Sydney! Jesse was our guide, and he did absolutely everything in his power to ensure we had options that fit our food preferences. He was also very vigilant about making sure we had plenty of water and opportunities to use the bathroom. Highly recommend! If we were staying longer in Sydney, we would want to do this again and explore some of the other options that we didn’t have time for on this tour.
Delicious food choices

A Must Do Food Tour While in Sydney

5.00We had a wonderful experience on this food tour. Jesse was an exceptional guide taking us throughout the Surry Hill neighborhood. He chose quaint family run restaurants that had amazing food. He even included stops at local rum and gin factories, and a wine bar with oyster tasting which was an added treat to the experience. Do this tour early in your stay because you will probably want to go back and revisit some of the restaurants.
Fab food tour!
