Eileen24/12/2025Took this tour on second day of arrival in Sydney. Was a great orientation to the city and especially the history. Michael was a wonderful guide and well versed in so many aspects of the city. As an older person with a slight hearing impairment I really enjoyed his voice and never had to strain to hear him. Highly recommend. Lots of walking but not a killer.read moreread less

You may not be able to notice those great bars by your own or google map without this experienceread moreread less- David Vuong22/12/2025My son and I had a very enjoyable tour of Chinatown with Justin. It was a small group of 5 people + Justin which was great as sometimes you will be standing around small areas. We sampled 4 entree-sized portions of street food from different regions of China which were included in the price and had the opportunity to purchase a drink from a vendor recommended by Justin. The route, venues, service and distance involved were all very well thought out and co-ordinated, Justin showed a lot of passion and knowledge regarding Chinatown and Asian culture in general and delivers some very interesting stories indeed. Highly recommend it, even if you’re a local.read moreread lessSam Ogee22/12/2025Really enjoyed the tour. Matt was fantastic.

Kay Mac21/12/2025This walking food and bar tour in Sydney felt like watching Tony Hawk land a triple ollie on a flaming skateboard… while blindfolded… during a fireworks show… and still somehow stopping to explain the history of the pavement. Every bar we stopped at was better than the last— and all had insane cocktails that made me question all my past life choices. The venues felt like secret levels you only unlock after doing the side quests, and it had just the right amount of walking to feel accomplished without needing a medal.
And then there’s Eddie. Calling him a “tour guide” feels inaccurate—he’s more like a human highlight reel crossed with a golden retriever’s enthusiasm and a wizard who multiclasses in comedy and local knowledge. If Sydney were a video game, Eddie would be the NPC everyone remembers, quotes forever, and secretly hopes shows up again in the sequel. Absolute legend. Would 100% do this tour again.read moreread lessJamesB21/12/2025Great Tour! So many things that you would wander past and never know about. Great Host. Knows his stuff.read moreread less

- Christina Pirie14/12/2025A great experience. We only live an hour away but wanted to enjoy Chinatown and we learnt so much about the history of Chinese in Australia as well as trying some really yummy traditional foods we never would have discovered on our own. Tour was well paced. Not too much walking and plenty of stops along the way. I would highly recommend for locals, Aussies and our lucky international visitors. We will do the Newtown foodie and street art next!read moreread lessChris13/12/2025Get to see things you may miss , Jake our guide very knowledgable , lot of history , good walking tourread moreread lessanup shrestha12/12/2025amazing experience. lived here for so long yet didn’t know much. quite insightful . highly recommend.read moreread less

- Cassandra Hanley10/12/2025I took a personal tour of Chinatown with Justin and it was a fantastic experience. Justin’s knowledge of Chinatown, the restaurants and the food was really in-depth — and his relationships with the folks in the neighborhood as well. He serves on the local Chamber of Commerce and as we were walking on our tour so many folks stopped us to chat with him and tell us what an asset he was to the community. My husband and I loved so many of the places he took us too that we went back our last day of the trip to several of them and did our own mini-food tour because the food was so good!read moreread lessAmelia Fitzgerald10/12/2025Great tour of Sydney!

Peter B30/11/2025Geographically Chinatown issn’t very big, yet somehow 2.5 hours had elapsed in between saying hello and goodbye to our extremely informative guide. The time truly flew and the information was provided in a most entertaining way. We stopped at 4 of the small family run restaurants where the dishes were all so different and represented different regions of China. Exceptional value for moneyread moreread less

William D20/11/2025Michael was an outstanding guide – friendly, informative, and able to accommodate all in our group. We loved the way he focused the tour around three different points of view: 1.
