Tasty and Filling - Our group fully enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Lachlan was friendly, engaging, and willing to accommodate our various dietary requirements. My favorite stop was probably the tea ceremony because it was such a relaxing and thoughtfully curated activity. Overall, the tour was a tasty and filling way to experience Chinatown.

Great Sydney ChinatownTour - Great tour of Sydney Chinatown with our guide Aiden. The evening tour was a great change of pace. Our prior tours had been earlier in the day, so it was nice to see Chinatown at night. Our guide was welcoming & informative throughout the night. We tried various dishes, enjoyed a Chinese tea tasting and learned some of the local history of Chinatown. We would definitely recommend the tour and our guide Aiden.

Wonderful experience, expertly hosted - As part of a “Dad and Daughter” week in Sydney during the school holidays, I booked the Taste of Chinatown tour for my 10 year old daughter and I on the Sunday of the October long weekend. We chose Taste Tours because we liked that this was a charitable organisation with a commendable purpose. And we were not disappointed. Our tour guide Noor was exceptional. We visited a range of restaurants that we likely would not have experienced otherwise and the food we sampled was great. Noor also shared cultural insights that fascinated my daughter (who had many questions) as well as many of her own personal stories. Noor also went to great lengths to cater for our dietary requirements (one gluten free, one nut free). A truly unique experience and one that we would both thoroughly recommend.

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!

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.
