Aussie Food - So far I have been on many food tours. On this one, I didn’t think I could get anything new, but I was wrong. Our tour guide introduced us to Turkish ice cream; different Aussie pies, rolls and cakes, and a Vietnamese appetizer. I was fascinated from the food tour and can only recommend to do it.

Great Foodie Tour in Sydney - My wife and I were in Sydney for a few days and decided to take a Foodie Tour. I had communicated with Robyn and she agreed to pick us up at our hotel. The Foodie Tour was in Newtown. Robyn was very knowledgable and personable. She was a wonderful guide. We had a great time. The food was excellent and Robyn knew some of the people who worked in the restaurants. So, we had a chance to get to speak and learn about their business. I can't say enough about how Robyn made this a wonderful tour to remember.

Touring and Tasting in Sydney - Completely enjoyed the afternoon we spent with Robyn touring through a neighborhood in Sydney tasting various foods and learning about the culture and history of the area. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney. She also went out of her way to help us navigate the train system to get to where we were touring and then back to our hotel.

Tasty Bites & Great Vibes - This food tour was an absolute blast! Chris, our guide, was a whole vibe and super knowledgeable about the food and local history. He was also incredibly patient with us snapping pics at every stop. Don’t be fooled by the portion sizes, we shared every plate and it was definitely enough for two. Dietary restrictions accommodated. TokyoTaco and Black Star Pastry were standout favorites - 10/10! Highly recommend and would definitely do it again!

Chris, our guide, was... - Chris, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the different types of Australian food. The experience was listed as food and drink and the expectation when drink is advertised that an alcoholic beverage be on the menu but it was not. I felt the tour was in an area less traveled by tourists. I would have preferred the venue take place in the CBD. With the exception of the tokyotaco and the thai food, the food was not very good. Not a good value for your money.

A disappointing food tour but the guide was excellent. - Australia has a great food culture which has many influences, from farming to immigration and from the aboriginal people. Unfortunately we didnt feel this captured any of it as there was no narrative to tie the restaurants together. We visited 10 restaurants and about 3 of them reflected Australian culture. Some great meats are reared in Australia and there is a huge fishing community but this tour contained none of that. What about anzac biscuits, lammington cake, BBQ's? We also went to some other great restaurants (Vietnamese etc) but it felt pretty random. It would have been nice if this was tied into some history i.e. some Vietnamese immigrants came here and have adapted their food to reflect local culture. We really liked Chris the guide and he was super knowledgable, but he had to stick to a preselected tour. To top this all off, I got sick from a lamb samosa on the tour and spent the whole night up being ill. Overall, I wouldnt recommend this tour (except for guide).

Not recommended - The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable about the area of Newtown. This area can be described as eclectic or bohemian and run-down, trashy and not where I would choose for a food walking tour. There is a wide variety of food to be sure but only a few of the tastings were standouts. We actually had a cold piece of toast with Vegemite! The drinks consisted of water and a shared bottle of ginger beer. We walked down a couple of dirty alleyways to view a large wall mural. Not a good value for this price and would not recommend. I've been on several food walking tours that were excellent but I was very disappointed with this experience. Just walk around on your own and sample the food and check out the shops.
