This was a wonderful tour! Our guide shared a lot of information about Surry Hills and we sampled delicious food that we would not have tried otherwise. Highly recommend! It’s a fun way to spend the afternoon.
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.
Loved the great guide! Food was outstanding Highly recommended Every food element was on point The sites and food just excellent
A fabulous experience. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
Kylie was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our walking food tour. We would recommend this tour to any foodie.
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.
I highly recommend this tour. Months later and I still mention it to people. I’m a Sydney local and did it with family member visiting from overseas. We ate so much delicious food (from places that I had never heard of) and were given recommendations of many more places to try. Cannot recommend this enough!
Food was amazing and the folks on the tour were even better! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience🙌🏼
Variety of stops of food tasting... all very yummy. Kylie was very passionate about the food and had great explanations along the way.
This was a great tour of the food in the Surrey Hills neighborhood. Kylie, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and a true food lover. She took us on a very international experience in her own backyard. She was also helpful recommending other foody spots around Sydney. We were even able to bring our 15 y/o along with no problem, unlike some other tours in the area.
We all had a wonderful experience with Kylie leading us through a diverse neighborhood and restaurants. Great food too! Not the “touristy” places. It’s where the locals hang out. I highly recommend it.
Kylie was knowledgeable AND entertaining. Great restaurants and great information regarding Surrey Hill and Sydney. A good time had by all.
Perfect afternoon spent with tour operator, she is a delightful and knowledgeable lady. Food recommendations were very good and the relaxed atmosphere left us very satisfied.
This is a must do tour if you want a taste of Sydney. Kylie knows how to provide a great tour. Great communication on the meeting location. The tour was great. We learned about the area we were walking in and were able to try several items during our stops. We tried coffee, pastries, Indian, Japanese, Vietnamese and much more. The curry bombs were our favorite. You will leave the tour stuffed. I’d highly recommend booking this tour.
We had a great food tasting with Kylie in Surry Hills. Kylie told us about the history of the area, while we experienced a variety of ethnic food. Each tasting was excellent!
Took the wonderful Forkabout Sydney walking tour yesterday. The guide, Kylie was really sweet and informative. She took us for a sampling of the unique and finely crafted sweets and savories in the charming Surry Hills neighborhood. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to try local favorites and learn about some of the foods that diverse cultures have brought to this city.
Absolutely fantastic tour! I highly recommend this tour and make sure to do it at the beginning of the trip to Sydney. Kylie was great and the food spots were awesome. We went back later that night to get more!
I cannot recommend this tour enough! A delicious and filling stroll through one of Sydney's most fun and vibrant neighborhoods. We visited no fewer than eight of the most eclectic restaurants, cafes, and bakeries in Surry Hills featuring Australian, Indian, Japanese, Phillipino, Vietnamese, and Italian dishes and desserts. Kylie, our guide, has organized a top-notch itinerary with the flavours (omg, curry bombs) and presentations being consistently great at every stop. I'm sure our group could be heard moaning in pleasure as we roamed the streets. Add to it, Kylie's fun attitude and local knowledge and you have an unbeatable way to spend an afternoon.
Learned a lot about not only the culinary history of Sydney, but the history of Sydney itself. The portion sizes and the food were awesome. Had to take some back to the hotel with us.
This is a fantastic Foodie Tour. My guide demonstrated expert knowledge and fantastic Australian hospitality. I was the only one on the tour, as the four cancelled last minute.She honored my booking and took me on the tour anyway, which left me with more food to eat a private tour experience. I would highly recommend this as it takes a survey of all the different foodie experiences in the Surry Hills area of Sydney. I highly recommend.
Most of my tour group had to reschedule due to a plane delay, but that didn’t stop my friend and I from having a great time on a pseudo-private tour. The tour covered a variety of different food types like Turkish, Indian, Polish even Asian Fusion which led to the discovery of new and amazing foods, and the heart of Sydney’s incredible cuisine scene. Not to mention our tour guide was incredibly informative and nothing can’t be said negatively about her generosity. She personally bought my friend and I many different Australian candies just to give our families a taste of what we experienced. I’ve never had a tour guide be so generous and informative. If you’re looking to discover a new layer of Sydney’s cuisine, I strongly recommend you book this tour. Forkabout Sydney Foodie Walking Tour, you won’t be disappointed.
I really enjoyed the walking talking eating tour through Surry Hills on the weekend. The food was delicious (I was very full!), meeting the restauranteurs was special and hearing the local stories was also very good. I would not have found these hidden gems in guidebooks and I look forward to taking friends to the restaurants soon for more. Thanks Kylie and Forkabout!
Loved this foodie afternoon! We got to visit a wide range of different places and taste some delicious food. Our guide Kylie was really passionate about food and the Sydney restaurant scene and had lots of tips for places to visit/eat at. It wasn’t too far to walk and the little wander between places was actually good for shaking down the last tasting. Even so, I finished the day very full! Would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney and interested in food - it gets you off the beaten tourist track and shows you some great options to go back to later as well. Friendly group and very well organised.
I've lived in Sydney all my life and pride myself on knowing the good restaurants and watering holes. The Forkabout tour showed me just how much of Sydney's culinary treasures that I've yet to explore! Kylie was super knowledgable and my partner and I both felt very welcomed and had fun interacting with other members of the tour. Looking forward to the Rosebery tour next!
I have never been on a foodie tour before. I really enjoyed going to the different eateries in Surry hills, and exploring great places right on my door step, which I never knew existed before.
Absolutely enjoyed the Forkabout food tour today in Surry Hills. Our tour guide was as fantastic as the food we got to taste!
