A tasty tour - David’s tour was an absolute delight! His deep knowledge of every stop made the experience both educational and engaging. Where he truly shined, though, was in curating an unforgettable tasting experience of Australia’s local treats. As food lovers, we were thrilled with the perfect selection of indulgent flavors—unique pairings we never would have discovered on our own. The fact that he worked with locally owned shops to bring these culinary treasures to life made it even more special. The two hours flew by, and we honestly wished we could have spent even more time soaking up his expertise. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and delicious adventure!

Learn about Australia's sustainable food and support local small businesses - An excellent tour guide with deep knowledge and love of food and sustainable living. If you're getting tired of fine dining and opting someting simple but heartwarming and uniquely Australian, this tour is an excellent choice. Enjoy a simple but most adorable sample of picnic basket with goodies you can only get locally. Learn about gum trees and lemon myrtle as the tour guide explains about trees, plants and wild-life in the botanical garden next to the Sydney's Opera House. If the weather is good, you'll get the best view of Sydney.
