Excellent variety of ethnic foods in an area chock full of restaurant options. We learned a bit about the history of each place we stopped. Most places we sat at tables. Great information on Surry Hills itself. The pace was great. A lot of food that was very tasty and unique to me. Our guide, Kylie, was superb.
It was a pleasure to take you on your tour. So happy you loved all the food choices.
Loved the great guide! Food was outstanding Highly recommended Every food element was on point The sites and food just excellent
So happy that you had a great time. You got the perfect weather for a Surry Hills adventure.
A fabulous experience. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to host you on your foodie adventure. Cheers, Kylie
Great tour! Come with an empty stomach bc all of the food is great and there is a lot of dishes to try. The variety is also fantastic
You're very welcome. Glad you had a great time. Cheers, Kylie
We were 3 foodies on a girls trip to Sydney and had a grand time on this tour. Kylie was knowledgeable and fun and had a variety of spots and cuisines to choose from. It was quite hot out and she kept us in the shade, hydrated and very well fed. Lamingtons to start and then Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese and Turkish spots with the Australian influences in each. She was also able to manage an allergy and make accommodations so no one missed out. I’ve been on food tours in many cities around the world and this one was excellent.
Thanks for your review. It was a fabulous day and we are always happy to accommodate food allergies and still get the best out of the area. Cheers, Kylie
We booked the food tour with Kylie as a catch up with friends. Kylie was a great host and chose an excellent selection of stops. We visited 6 places in total and were stuffed by the end. At every eatery, we sat down while Kylie arranged everything, it was seamless. Although our group are all from Sydney, there were a few places we've marked to visit again!
Love that you had some experiences you hadn't before. We aim to get as much variety and cuisines possible in our tour. Cheers, Kylie
The short strolls between eateries not only allowed us to shake down the beautiful food (and make room for more), but also gave our tour guide, Kylie, the opportunity to tell us about the history of Surry Hills and point out interesting architecture and developments. Forkabout staff have obviously done a great deal of research into the eateries in the area and the foods we tasted were scrumptious. By the time we finished the tour, I felt as if we'd had a mini world trip. Highly recommended.
Thanks for coming along to our tour of Surry Hills. It's always a pleasure to introduce guests to the best of Surry Hills. What a fun day that was. Cheers, Kylie
Our tour day was quite wet but it certainly did not take away from our experience. The food was awesome and the tour operator was friendly and knowledgeable.
As the Irish always say " there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing". So happy you enjoyed your tour and had a lovely day. Cheers, Kylie
Kylie was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our walking food tour. We would recommend this tour to any foodie.
Glad you enjoyed your tour and thank you for your kind review. Cheers, Kylie
This food tour was an incredible experience. I highly recommend this tour. I have been to many food tours when traveling, but this one by far is on the top of my list. Each stop made the food selections were carefully chosen to provide a diverse unique experience. Choosing items not commonly found elsewhere. While also providing background on the history of the migrants who have played a major role on the food culture in Australia.
It was a peasure to take you on your foodie adventure. So happy you found it both informative and tasty. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and have a wonderful time in Hobbiton next week.
