Getting off the beaten track food. - This tour is amazing. You go to taste food you would probably never actually go to if you were just walking around looking for a restaurant or Cafe yourself. I did this tour some years ago with family and I can say it has only got better! The food is diverse and extremely tasty. The guides both times I have been were friendly, interactive and knowledgeable. One of the best things I have done in Sydney!

Amazing tour with great eats! - One of the best Viator tours that we have done. Visited places that we would have never seen found. Learned about Asian cuisine and culture that we would have never known. Guide was beyond very knowledgeable. He was friendly, whitty and personable. If you have the time, book this tour. It's a sleeper.

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.

Fun, good, interesting - It was a fun experience meeting new people and trying new foods that are just to die for. The authentic Asian foods here in Sydney are a lot better than where I can get it back in California. Our tour guide, Abdul was such a funny guy and he knew so much regarding the history around Chinatown. I definitely recommend a tour with him.

Average food tour - Having taken many food tours I found this one underwhelming. Tour wise, the guide was a little inexperienced (a 20 year old student). I expected to learn something on the culture of Sydney or food stops but sadly not much was said. Food wise: two of the seven food stops were excellent, Emperor Puffs and Ho Jiak. The other food stops were bland and unexciting, especially given the amount of street food and restaurants in Chinatown. I would sadly not recommend this tour.

Terrible - give it a miss - This was highly disappointing. We ended up leaving the tour before it finished - at the point we were eating 2 pieces of deep fried chicken in an arcade because they could not find a seat at the place we were supposed to be eating. It was clearly lacking substance about China Town and 'stories about immigration' and was lacklustre, slow paced, and obviously constructed around trying to do a tour for the cheapest price. We've done food tours before through viator that have been good. This was was awful - give it a miss.
