Food, culture, and lots of fun - A fantastic tour of Chinatown with exciting food and our charming guide, Noor. Noor explained a lot about Chinese culture as we walked between restaurants. Some of the food was new to me and I loved it. What a delightful way to spend an evening in Sydney, Australia.

Great experience, something different than just seeing the sights. - Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was both educational and a great way to "food" hop. We ate in places that we would have never found, enjoyed several great treats. This activity is a "find."

A great night with our guide Aiden - Our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and very funny, he pointed out things that were not obvious even after we walked by them two or three times very good very thorough. Finally, the food we sampled was top-notch. It was way more than we can eat. The desserts were delicious and very novel things that we tried. In summary, the tour was great our guide Aiden was even even better five stars

A Great Three Our Tour! - We loved this experience. Our guide Bruce presented us with a lot of the history of China and his passion and love for the Chinese culture was evident. The restaurant selections and food offerings were on point and each were exceptional. The tea ceremony was a special moment in a wonderful setting. I would never, ever tried Portuguese custard tarts, but I LOVED them. I will go out of my way for a Portuguese tart from now on. This was a great value and a very memorable excursion for us. Highly recommend. Thanks Bruce.

An awesome evening exploring Chinatown and enjoying delicious food. - We had a great time on our Chinatown food tour. Our host/guide, Noor, was absolutely fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. We're Sydney locals but learned a lot and found some new favourite restaurants. Highly recommended for visitors and locals alike.
