Loved it - We had an awesome time on this tour. Food included a lobster taco (super yum), pork & fennel sausage roll, gelato, macaron & pad thai. Loved learning about the modern art and how it ties in with Australian history. Walking was really easy and most definitely not 3 hours of continuous walking as someone had mentioned in a previous review. It was easily broken up into smaller sections, I think the most we walked was about 25 mins and that was a lovely stroll. Our guide Hayley, was super knowledgeable, friendly and a very accomplished guide. We are looking forward to trying the other taste tours.

Barangaroo Hidden Gems - Even though we live in Sydney we really enjoyed the tour. The food stops were all different but hidden gems you may miss if not shown by someone in know. Aiden and Abdul our guides were excellent, both a lot of fun and knowledgeable of the area. Favourite part was the Lobster Tacos.

Great guide, history and food! Highly recommend! - Bruce was a fantastic guide! Very personable, informative and knowledgeable! He knew so much of the local history as well as providing an amazing taste of Sydney! It was like lunch and dinner for us! We had a lobster taco, a sausage roll, the creamiest gelato we've ever had, a macaroon and finished with delicious thai food. We went back to the Thai food restaurant for dinner another night as we enjoyed it so much! We would highly recommend this tour and Bruce as he was an amazing guide.

Good first day tour - A splendid introduction to history, geography and cuisines of Sydney. Knowledgeable local guide. Well designed route taking us back in time from the Ultra Modern centre to some of the very oldest historical sites.

Good food/good time! - Great tour! Food was wonderful and our guide was very informative and friendly. The only reason I don’t rate this a 5 is that it was difficult to hear our guide at times. This was absolutely not the fault of our guide as the area is noisy but some sort of amplification may be helpful for future tours.

Did not reflect Australian cuisine - Put guide gave a great historical narrative of the area but the food part of the tour was pathetic - sausage roll, macaroon and a beer- you have to be joking
