  • 5/5 from Alison Masters, attended Aug 2026: We loved our tour of the fish markets, we learned a lot and explored areas we wouldn’t otherwise have seen. Jane, our guide, was great.
  • 5/5 from Tim Scully, attended May 2026: Our guide Dan was so informative and interactive. We really enjoyed the way he was passionate in sharing his knowledge. A wonderful experience which we will highly recommend to our friends back home.
  • 5/5 from Louise Kershaw, attended Feb 2026: Great tour- informative and fun. Dan our guide provided insights into many aspects of the fis markets - highly recommended
  • 5/5 from Sue Little, attended Feb 2026: Dan and Sophie were wonderful guides. Dan with his family history in the Sydney fish industry and Sophie with her knowledge of Indigenous culture specific to the area. I had a very informative walk through the new Sydney fish markets. Sue
  • 5/5 from Cindy Larson, attended Feb 2026: We enjoyed our tour of the new Sydney Fish Markets. Sophie was a knowledgeable and personable guide who gave us a deeper appreciation of the new site. It was fun to go behind the scenes and see the auction and cold storage areas (off limits to the public unless you're on a tour).
  • 5/5 from Michael Williams, attended Feb 2026: Marvellous tour. Sophie was an outstanding story teller weaving first nations relationships with the brand spankingly new Fish Markets. Nothing better than great stories as new public spaces emerge and are revealed. Thank you Sophie
  • 3/5 from Scott Leonard, attended Feb 2026: Great venue however, our confirmation email sent us to the cooking school which was incorrect. Once we found the correct meeting place, the tour was OK. Dan knows his stuff but needs to find shaded places to stop the group and needs to look at the group when he speaks. Very hard to hear when the guide is looking away from you.
  • 5/5 from Thomas Edson, attended Jan 2026: Guide was so knowledgeable and made the tour extremely enjoyable and worthwhile. Would recommend!
