Great way to spend a Saturday in the harbour city - Great tour. Learned a lot - even as local Sydneysiders. Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Some great eats visited. Not large portions but perfect smaller bites for this type of tour. We’re keen to do some of the more cultural suburban food tours offered by Taste Cultural Food Tours.

A Delightful Stroll through Barangaroo and the Rocks - The ability to wander through Barangaroo and the Rocks conversing with Abdul our guide, being introduced to a combination of history and food ensured we had a great time. The food venues have been carefully chosen and we will most certainly be back.

Barangaroo Food Tour - We had a lovely Tour Guide Lesley who was friendly, accomodating and very informative. The food experience was amazing and plenty of it and listening to the history of the beautiful city of Sydney was very interesting. There was a lot of walking but it was an easy, leisurely walk. A wonderful day was had by everyone in our group. Would highly recommend this tour.

Best Food Ever! - My wife and I travel a fair amount, and often use food tours to familiarize ourselves with a new city of country. We agree that the food on this tour was, overall, the best we've ever had. The tour guide was also awesome,

5/5 tour - Great way to sample some awesome food that Sydney has to offer. The tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. My highlights were the lobster taco, gelato, and Thai food.

A digestible way to experience Sydney - The food was nice and this is a great way to get started in the city. The guide did a good job of getting to know you and added a personal touch to your tour.

Good Tour Guide, Average Tour - Aiden was extremely knowledgeable and great to get along with throughout the tour. However, the tour itself was a tad unique from other food tours I’ve done around the world. It seems that there isn’t a collaboration between the restaurants / stops which made it a bit awkward when we had to share plates versus having a pre-selected food and sample size available, or when he had to pay or order from a menu. I’m not overly cautious about germs, but this got to me a little. Aiden was great, but on the spot cutting food or handing out food (without gloves or any type of sanitation) was a major red flag for me. The food itself was good - I wasn’t overly impressed but I also did not have high expectations. I booked this tour last minute. I’m not sure I’d really recommend it.

Don't bother - I cannot recommend this tour. We met at a local restaurant and had a lobster taco, while it was delicious the lobster had been flown in from the US frozen. A short walk took us to a local bakery where one sausage roll was divided between 3 of us, a piece of gluten free chocolate cake was purchased as one person was Celiac and this was divided between the 4 of us on the tour. The third stop was at a delicious gelato shop and thankfully we each got our own small tub. The tour continued along the route described in the advert and we stopped for a drink at The Lord Nelson where each person could choose their beer and were given a half pint, thankfully there was no quibble when I asked for a glass of wine as I don't drink beer. A short walk around The Rocks and a stop for our guide to purchase some macarons and we headed to the Thai restaurant where the guide ordered 2 dishes for us to share. Whilst having suffered from being carried in the guides bag for a bit the rather bashed macarons tasted delicious. There was very little information imparted about the history of the areas we walked through or Australia in general and while our guide seems like a nice person she was not particularly engaging and was so softly spoken that it was difficult to hear her. We had treated my niece to this tour and found it embarrassing as it was not even close to the hype and we would have had a better afternoon if we had done our own thing.
