Chinatown by Night Food Tour with Neon Playground Lights

Sydney's Chinatown is full of secrets and excellent restaurants, and on this award-winning experience, you're going to see and taste a bit of everything - with the added bonus of enjoying the light installations as part of Sydney's "Neon Playground" festival.

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 our personal restaurant guide to Chinatown, covering all the best spots and what to order.
