The Sydney Fish Market tour is the best stop in Sydney! - Our private tour of the Sydney Fish Market was THE highlight of our trip to Sydney! Our guide , Michael a former commercial fisherman, was extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about how fish are caught and sold. The tour of the individual vendor stalls was fascinating- they all look alike and sell similar products but we were able to understand each one’s specialties from octopus to sushi grade tuna to prawns and oysters. It is an amazing tour. When the new market opens at the end of the year, I am sure it will become the number one destination in Sydney!

SFM - A great tour - Outstanding introduction to how our seafood is sourced, graded and sold. Watch the unique auction take plac, visit the floor where product is graded, sorted and packed.

Great Catch! - Great experience, small group which made it better, Mike the guide was excellent and had hands on experience as a fisherman and knew all about the fish, crabs and answered any questions related.

Very informative tour - Done the early morning tour of the fish markets . The tour was really interesting and the guide explained everything that was happening on the market floor as it was happening. Would highly recommend the tour if you are at all interested in the seafood industry and we are looking forward to do it again once the new market place is open.

Most Engaging and Interactive Tour in Sydney! - Our tour guide Mike was amazing! The early morning behind-the-scenes tour was incredibly interactive; Mike made sure to bring the energy and continuously engage 25 college students at 6am (not easy to do!). I highly recommend booking a tour with Mike, as I’m not sure the tour would’ve been the same with someone else.

Fish Market Tour - Did the early morning Fish Market Tour. Amazing! Didn’t expect to go down on to the buyers floor, opening up the boxes of fish to get a close-up look at the ‘software’ . Just do it!
