What travelers are saying
Our guide was wonderful and the food was good. We also enjoyed learning a bit about Sydney’s culture.
Online description needs updated. We had a really fun time trying different foods. I am still giving this a 5 star review but I do think the description online should be updated. We did not get to meet the butcher - we met his daughter instead (and she was awesome!) but we were disappointed to not meet her father. We did upgrade to the drink package and did get two drinks but again, online it says "Australian orange wine" and we did get wine but it wasn't orange wine. It was champagne - which was delicious but not what we expected. The description online says 7 stops but we only had 6. My biggest complaint is that is says "maximum 10 guests" but instead we had 12. We booked this tour partially because of the guaranteed small group. While I know only 2 more people isn't a huge deal, we were again expecting something different based on the description online. The tour ran overtime which was an issue for others on our tour because they had to get back to their cruise ship. We enjoyed the food but they need to update their description online. We did not get everything we expected and if the food was anything less, I would not be leaving 5 stars.
Excellent food and guide
Best food on the vacation.
