Great snacks with fun facts and history along the way!
We went on the Local Sauce Chinatown food walking tour today for Mother's Day. My three daughters and I had a great time. Bunny our guide gave us loads of interesting information and we had 5 food stops. We highly recommend this experience, we were introduced to restaurants we have never seen before, and we eat in Chinatown regularly. Bunny was an awesome guide and made sure that everyone had fun and learned something along the way. Thanks Anne and the girls.

Recommend the Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour
I went on the Ultimate Walking Tour and really enjoyed the experience. The tour guide, Dan, was knowledgeable about the area and considerate to any needs or questions I had along the way. With knowing very little about the area before hand, I left the tour with a greater understanding of the history and the best areas to shop and dine. Tip: There are very few hill climbs making this tour great for anyone but make sure to wear comfortable shoes!

Secret Bar Crawl
This was the perfect tour for a solo traveler! Andrew was a wonderful guide who provided plenty of details on each of the locations he went to. It was a great way to discover bars that are little off the beaten path. There were a wide variety of drink options, so everyone could find what they liked. I would highly recommend this tour!
