Culture Scouts Walking Tours

Had organised a group tour for our work team to explore the areas that we will be working in that included Central to Eveleigh. Such a fantastic tour with a true local Melinda who showed us all the new places and gave us a history tour of what was before. I would highly recommend Culture Scouts for anyone looking for a unique tour of the city. I've lived in Sydney all my life and had no idea about some of the rich cultural history hidden in its corners.

Amazing and highly rec as a Sydney activity. I thought the ticket price was expensive, but after it, was very worth the cost. Made me understand so much about the city, history, and streets I would walk down and think nothing of. I've never left a Google review, although I rely on them (also, I am in NO way involved with Culture Scouts other than this one tour I just took) but it is worthy of a review, because I highly recommend it to both visitors and locals (have already done so to my friends here) The tour guide Melinda was AWESOME, is a twice published author about Newtown street art, knew the answer to every question asked, personally knows all the artists we saw (many who are now internationally famous..I had no idea), is a local to the point she grew up here and lives around the corner, is a independent artist herself, and just overall wonderful and personable. Only 4 of us on the tour, so it felt like a private one.

This was a great tour highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyed the journey and storytelling behind the street art. It’s given me a new appreciation for street artists. Well done

The Culture Scouts Ultimo + Chinatown walking tour is a fascinating look into the art, food and cultural delights of this prominent precinct of Sydney. I am a Sydney local and there were international visitors and locals alike on our tour - we all discovered and experienced new things! Our guide, Nancy was exceptional - friendly and knowledgeable plus she is also a Chinese translator. We visited the Powerhouse museum, tasted yummy dumplings and warm custard puffs from the Emporers Garden. Heard stories about the history of Ultimo and Chinatown and even visited a Chinese herbalist store. We were treated to the stories behind the murals sculptures and architecture of the area and more. I’d never even noticed some of the sculptures before. I recommend the Culture Scouts walking tours to locals and international visitors. It’s a lovely way to meander through and discover an area with like minded people.

I came along on the Street Art Walking Tour on September 8th with Craig and it was amazing! So interesting from a true local who knows this area like the back of his hand. The group was friendly and sociable and Craig had us all spotting different well-known street artists in Newtown by the end. Finishing up with a drink (alcoholic or not!) at Young Henry's Brewery was the perfect way to end a fantastic tour. I will definitely come back again.
