Led by local guide Kathleen (a born-and-raised Sydneyite with extensive hospitality experience), the tour takes guests to a variety of local restaurants, tasting seafood and international flavours that reflect the immigrant communities that built this steel city. The tour includes a stop at a local cidery with alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, and weaves in captivating stories about the people and events that shaped this historic steel city. The tour holds a 5.0 average rating on major booking platforms, and the cidery stop makes it as much an afternoon out for locals as a visitor activity.
