Memorable... - A very informative day with Bunny on this food tour around Chinatown and Darling Harbour. She opened our group up to little alleyways and amazing eating places that, as a visitor, would never venture. THank you Bunny. The timing was enough for old legs and you certainly kept us all entertained with your knowledge, both trivial and factual. A good way to familiaries yourself with Chinatown.

Saucy is the BEST! - I absolutely loved my half day walking tour of Sydney. I was traveling solo and joined a small group of 7 others. Our guide Dan, was exceptional. He is a native Aussie, who LOVES both Sydney and History making him an ideal guide. Dan historical knowledge was extensive & he was excited & happy to share it. He is energetic, yet was still respectful of the older (me) folks fitness level. He is a natural storyteller & infused fun into his history "lessons".

Foodie tour of Sydney's Chinatown - This was a great way to fully experience Sydney's Chinatown and the many tiny restaurants that one might otherwise miss. Our guide, Justin, was very knowledgeable of the history of the Chinese in Australia. Being of 'mature age' and possibly slightly hard of hearing (LOL), I appreciated his very clear and easily heard voice, even with the competing cacophony of Chinese New Year celebrations. I hope to visit Chinatown again soon and use Justin's "Chinatown Bingo card" to explore some of the other delights on offer there

History, Art, and Street Eats in Sydney’s Chinatown - Entertaining and interesting walk through Sydney’s Chinatown, while sampling some street foods. It was over lunchtime. I was thinking it would be our lunch that day. We were still hungry when it ended, so we stopped at the market where the tour started and ended. I suggest moving the tour so it ENDS at lunch time or dinner time and people can find a place in Chinatown to sit down and eat their meal.
