The best private food tours in Sydney

Sydney’s crystal clear beaches, sun-dappled streets, and laid-back locals make the city one of Australia’s must-visit destinations – but the thing that will keep you coming back is the food. On City Unscripted food tours of Sydney, you’ll find unforgettable flavors at a range of locations, including food trucks, delis, markets, cafés, grungy beach bars and upmarket restaurants. From Balmain bugs (a species of lobster native to Australia) to old-school jaffles (the city’s take on the humble toasted sandwich), get ready for a city-to-surf food experience you couldn’t have anywhere else. On Sydney food tours, all you have to bring is your appetite and we’ll do the rest!

My sister and I greatly enjoyed spending four hours on a walking tour of Sydney with Peter. Knowledgeable, personable, and very accommodating. Great way to get an overview early in your trip so you can plan out the other activities you want to do while there. Highly recommend!
