5.00Karina was the consummate host during our Sydney Secret Food Tour that ended up being a private tour for two... We not only experienced amazing food but learnt a lot about the history of the area. We had incredible food, wine and beverages from The Winery, Christopher’s cake shop, Yulli’s, Ardi’s, Bourke street bakery and The Trinity. We will definitely be booking another food tour when we return and hope to have Karina as our host again.
Fun in Surry Hills

5.00John gave us an amazing tour in Surry Hills! Not only was all the food delicious, but he gave us great history about the area, and even some hilarious personal stories about his move to Sydney. Hanging around John felt like having a local friend enthusiastic to show you around his life. Our personal favorite was the Aussie burger, and I promise you'll LOVE the secret dish 🤫 John made our time in Sydney so memorable. This was our third Secret Food Tour (in the third continent), tour guides like John keep us coming back, all around the world! Thanks John!
A great intro to Sydney's food scene

5.00Great experience - wonderful guide and delicious food. An amazing chance to explore the less touristy areas of Sydney. Great mix of cultures and food styles with history thrown in. Wish I could have enjoyed it all - but there was so much to try!
Request for John Lewis!!!

5.00Being a first time foodie tourist I was truly impressed by our guide John Lewis. John certainly has set the bar high on future foodie tour guide expectations! His dedication to sharing interesting facts of not only the establishments we had the privilege of enjoying but also into the deep history and tidbits of Surry Hills, Australia, and England. Him sharing his English roots and enthusiasm made the tour very memorable! My wife and I toured with 4 other individuals with whom we've just met. The small group size made it a very nice and fun time for everyone. THANK YOU JOHN (and everyone else in the group) FOR MAKING THIS TOUR SO AWESOME! CHEERS!
