We enjoyed an excellent Hunter Valley wine and food tour with Jimmy, our tour guide, driver and very accomplished chef. It started with an 0630 pick up from our hotel, followed by others which meant we reached the first stop, Sydney fish market, around 0725. Jimmy explained how it worked and then went off to source some very fresh seafood that we would consume later. Many of us used the opportunity to stock up on some nice coffee as Jimmy’s van doesn’t (yet) have a coffee as part of his innovative cooking set up. 50 minutes later it was time for a brief walk around a lake whilst Jimmy cooked breakfast for us before teaching us how to roll sushi, which we would eat later at one of the wineries. It’s then an hour or so to the Hunter Valley where we visited three small boutique wineries, many of which you cannot buy on the High street. Jimmy provides an excellent meal - fresh oyster, asparagus with Parmesan and truffle oil, waygu beef sliders, crème brûlée blowtorched in front of us. Then it’s a two hour drive back to Sydney - a long day but very worth it. Jimmy provides an informative but unintrusive commentary on Sydney, wildlife etc on the way. A very enjoyable day and would recommend it.

Jimmy did a great job in his 12-seater minibus. The stop for breakfast at Brooklyn was a great was to see some bush and views over Hawkesbury. The 3 wineries chosen for tasting were terrific. Met some lovely people too!

This was a fantastic tour. The food was excellent, activities interesting, and Jimmy (tour operator) was the so informative and accommodating. Favorite experience was the visit to freshwater surf club where we got see some of the various techniques involved in surf lifesaving over the years. This was followed by an absolutely delicious lunch of Australian cuisine cooked by Jimmy. It was a full day, good money's worth. Would highly recommend for foodies

My wife and I had an amazing time visiting several of Sydney's beaches both south and north of the harbor. This is a full day! Jimmy was rather informative about the places that we visited and he provided lovely food. Lunch was specular overlooking the beach at Freshwater Surf Club. I took many photos to record our memorable experience.

What a perfect day. Oct 16, 2023. Not only is our chef superbe, but such a nice guy too, very devoted to our well-being, very creative with the gourmet food that we savoured all day. Small group of 11 today. Starting with a nice stop to buy a bit of fresh fish at the fish market, great picture opportunity, with great coffee and a nice croissant to go. We stopped in Brooklyn, tiny little village on the river and had a hot breakfast cooked outdoor by our chef. Really good… oh, the banana caramel to go on the hot banana bread, on e of the few wonderful things he had for us. Sushi rolling class too. Good start to say the least! Then, fantastic wine tasting at a family owned estate, then another one for our first lunch… right, and the … another lunch including our one sushi roll earlier prepared at the 3rd winery, all 3 beautiful estates with the charm of smaller producers that really take the time to welcome you. Spectacular food, outdoor cooking, 3 great wineries with friendly owners, passionate winemakers. The minivan is super confortable with a nice ride all the way to Fraser Valley. Our chef is a really good driver too and showed us interesting things along the way. And what can I say, to have wild kangaroos roaming the first wine estate! But seriously, it really was a perfect day that I recommend 1000%!!!!

We only had a few days in Sydney and was so lucky to find this tour. We had the loveliest day with our wonderful guide and chef, Jimmy! We've been to several beaches, each with its own beauty. We've been to places with amazing scenic views. And we got to learn a lot of things about Australia and its culture in a day. The best part - FOOD throughout the day! They were yummy!!! I love the coffee experience and Timtams, the delicious meat pie with avocado, fresh oysters and prawns, lamb skewers and so much more. I never though kangaroo can taste so good. This is THE EXPERIENCE you should go for if you only have a few days in Sydney. It's so worth it!

A well spent day in Sydney, visiting some of the best beaches in the world with a world class Chef Jimmy! Started with delicious freshly cooked breakfast by the beach and coffee. Then a quick beach walk from Brontë to Bondi, with some of the most stunning views.Then we headed to northern beach and learnt so much about the surf history at Curl Curl Surf club overlooking the beach. Jimmy cooked the lunch on site and so so delicious. Then we headed to a brewery for beer tasting, followed by visiting north head and OMG the views were just out of this world!! We had scones and tea at North head over looking the amazing view. Then we went to Manly for some beach walk and had the famous Golden gaytime icecream. The day was so well planned and executed with the most delicious food by Chef Jimmy. I would highly recommend this tour for people who want to see the best beaches in Sydney who are time poor.

We had a pleasure of being part of this trip and absolutely loved it. Jimmy is an exceptional host/guide and an even better chef. The trip was meticulously planned covering all the best beaches and lookouts. The food served was amazing. I wonder if anyone else can cover so much in a day with such comfort. Highly recommend doing this trip especially if you want to get the most out of your day in and around Sydney.

Sydney beaches and Aussie food tour were a dream combination! Breathtaking views, delicious eats, and a fantastic guide made this trip unforgettable. 5 stars for sure!

Very enjoyable! Also, learned something along the way as well. I went with a couple of friends on Chef Jimmy’s Beaches Tour and had a great day. We had a freshly cooked breakfast and coffee and did some excellent walks along Sydney’s beautiful coastline. We then had an informative visit at the Surf Club (the view over lunch was truly spectacular) and a taste and tour at the local Brewery. Ended the day with probably the best viewpoint in the whole of Sydney!

This was the best day trip we had in our 2 week stay in Australia. Jimmy's attention to detail is very high and he organised a wonderful day out. The food he prepared and served was delicious and complimented the wines very well. The 3 vineyards we went to were all excellent and the wines and information they gave us about them was first class. Thoroughly recommend this trip

We had an unbelievable day - Jimmy really goes over the top in curating an experience that is fun and engaging. We learned so much about the Hunter Valley region, and also really enjoyed the stop at the Sydney Fish Market, where Jimmy talked a lot about the different kinds of food we'd be enjoying (loved learning about how to choose a good mud crab!), as well as the stop along the Hawkesbury River for an amazing breakfast. Jimmy takes care of everything, so all you have to do is enjoy the day! Highly recommended, would absolutely do this again.

It was a very nice experience. Jimmy is an excellent guy! Very knowledgeable and fun to be with! Ed & Maria Luisa, Philippines

Jimmy is our chef, tour guide and driver too, and he is excellent in all of them. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys good food and a good sense of humour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Jimmy on his tour. The fish market visit was fascinating and informative. Jimmy's breakfast was delicious and the sushi rolling was fun. The wines at each of the wineries were wonderful and Jimmy's freshly made food pairings were DELICIOUS!! We had such a great time on this tour - I highly recommend this tour.
