Overview

Sydney’s Chinatown is full of secrets and excellent restaurants, and on this experience, you’re going to see and taste a bit of everything!

On this tour you’ll sample a range of street foods and snacks from some of Chinatown’s best restaurants, with a minimum of 4 food samples included. All samples are snacks or street foods that represent different parts of China and are designed to be eaten on the move. Vegetarians, vegans and guests with other dietary requirements are more than welcome – just let us know in advance.

This tour has a strong focus on uncovering Sydney’s long connection with China, and the contributions Chinese-Australians have made to the community. You’ll learn more in 2.5 hours about Australia’s Chinese community than you could possibly imagine, and “pub trivia” style games will keep it interactive and fun.

At the end of the tour, you’ll get a souvenir to take home, plus a great map and guide to Chinatown, covering all the best restaurants and what to order.

Great overview of the history of the Chinese in Australia and the establishment of Chinatown. Ive been in and out of Chinatown for over 50 years but i really understand it now. Food choices were great and well paced.

A great walk with Justin. He’s very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about The area, its history and culture and, of course, Chinese food. Recommended!

We live in Sydney and thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour of Chinatown with our guide Bunny who comes originally from Shanghai via the US. She gave us a history of Chinese migration to Australia and the impact on Sydney’s Chinatown. We saw some local street art works, and also did a ‘tour’ of China via the delicious snacks that we enjoyed at four stops along the way. It was great value for money, though we were lucky enough to receive it as a gift voucher.
