This tour was the culinary highlight of our Sydney trip! Our guide Sophia was knowledgeable and passionate about food. We explored Surry Hills and discovered places we would never have found on our own. The Vietnamese pork rolls were incredible, and the gelato was the best I've ever had! Using our Super Pass for the discount made it even better value. Come hungry - there's plenty of food!

Fantastic food tour through Newtown! Our guide James was entertaining and shared great stories about the neighborhood's history and food scene. The small group size (only 8 people) made it feel personal. We tried everything from Turkish gözleme to Portuguese custard tarts. The Super Pass discount was a nice bonus. Highly recommend for foodies visiting Sydney!
