About this experience

Discover Newtown in the best way possible, by combining street art and multicultural food!

Newtown is a truly diverse neighbourhood, and with us, you’re going to see and taste a bit of everything. You’ll start at the iconic "I Have A Dream" mural on King St, where your host will give you a run-down on Newtown’s food and street art scene.

You’ll then set off to sample Newtown’s multicultural cuisine, with food at 4 different restaurants included. Cuisine options include Egyptian, Turkish, Mexican, “Australian” and more. Vegetarian, vegan or other dietary requirements? We got you - just let us know!

Along the way, you'll be introduced to the neighbourhood’s best street art and some of Australia's most famous street artists, as well as their signature styles.

You’ll finish at a popular brewery for a shared tasting paddle of craft beers, plus a take-home guide to our favourite recommendations.

Note: This is not a "heavy" food tour - it is a food plus street art tour designed for all.
