Great Food Tour!
The Surry Hills food tour was wonderful. Well worth the time and money. Not only did we get to explore the neighborhood, we ate some delicious food, some of which we would have never tried on our own. Karina (our guide) was fabulous. So friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your impressions with us! We’re pleased the tour offered the right mix of food, conversation, and local discovery. It was a pleasure having you with Secret Food Tours.

Janine S-Grade Tour
Janine is one of the best guides for any tourist activity I have ever seen. She took my group with Ryan and Julie through a history, culture, and food program to rival a full set documentary crew just with her charm. It is worth every penny to experience this good tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind recognition of our guide and team. We’re pleased the personal touch and local insight helped make the tour enjoyable. Secret Food Tours was delighted to welcome you!

Surry Hills tour - Tasty and worth it!
Karina was knowledgeable and energetic, and was overall an effective tour leader. Our tour focused on Surry Hills, which is a locale known for great food in Sydney. The meeting point was easy to find but a bit noisy so it was somewhat difficult to hear until we moved. Once we got going things improved immediately. Three places offered very tasty foods and drinks that made up a good lunch, and 2 stops were bakeries. The amount of walking was very manageable and mostly flat. We definitely did not feel hungry at the end. Karina made sure we all knew how to get home after.
Response from the operator: We’re glad you chose to explore with us. It was a pleasure introducing you to some of the city’s food and local character. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!

Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 345 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours?
+
Around 121 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney Food Tour with 6 Authentic Tastings by Secret Food Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney, Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour (Small-Group, Drink Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
