Explore the quirky and unusual Marrickville with Caite. You’ll learn about its history, see the Vietnamese and Greek influences, see prize winning architecture, try some Craft Beer at a local brewery and enjoy art in the streets. We’ll end the tour at a small Gin distillery to admire their gleaming copper stills and if you wish, enjoy a Gin & Tonic, a tasting of their gins or one of their cocktails. I can give you inside information about the Live Music playing that night if you want to explore further after the tour. Cool, eclectic and entertaining, this is a great thing to do in Sydney.

This tour was such a surprise!! Highly recommended!!
Learning about the history of this corner of beautiful Sydney, plus discovering hidden gems of this area made for an unforgettable afternoon. Caite is also an amazing host, turning a tour into a very pleasant walk where spontaneous conversations flow while getting to know Marrickville. Definitely will be coming back for the live music, the Ale trail or just another walk!

Caite recently shared with us her love and knowledge of Marrickville. Our adventure started with a talk about the history and geography of the area, before we set off on a leisurely meander to discover a plethora of artwork, music venues, architecture, distilleries, breweries and other gems. A very enjoyable afternoon. Thanks Caite.

Cait was extremely knowledgable about the cultural history of Marrickville. It was really interesting to have this context as we ate and drank our way through the streets of Marrickville! The tour was very flexible and tailored to our needs and interests. We loved the brewery and gin distillery at the end too - would thoroughly recommend

Last Sunday, myself and two girlfriends joined Caite for her walking tour of Marrickville, being from the northern beaches we were unfamiliar with the area. It was such an enjoyable afternoon Caite was very warm and welcoming and we immediately felt at ease, her knowledge of Marrickville both its history and current lifestyle was enthralling, we had the most enjoyable time, the area has so much to offer, thank you Caite

Thank you so much Caite and Gea for a wonderful day out exploring Marrickville and learning about its history and hidden gems. It is quite amazing how much I did not know of my own backyard here in Sydney so thank you for opening my eyes to all special places in Marrickville I did not even know existed! And what better way to do than with all my girlfriends!

Cait took my friends and I for a tour on Sunday and we had an excellent afternoon finding out about the history of Marrickville and the highlights. Even though we thought we knew Marrickville Cait managed to find quite a few things to add to our enjoyment of this suburb. We enjoyed some shopping and then lunch at Philter Brewery and then on to Poor Tom's. It was a lovely Christmas get together and my dog even joined us half way and hung out. Cait is a passionate, personable and lovely human who made the day so fabulous.

What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon in one of Sydney's coolest suburbs. Our guide Caite is very knowledgeable and passionate. As we make our way down Marrickville's main street she recalls the history of the First Nations People as well as the more rapid recent developments over the past centuries. Along the way we are introduced to characters past and present- sculptors and designers, an artists cooperative, amazing street art, quirky bars, music venues and book shops. Did I mention the opportunity to sample some of the best food and drinks in town? How about Vietnamese pork rolls, gelato, craft beer and local gin. The craft beer brewery and gin bar venues are particularly interesting, with authentic industrial vibes. This is a great way to see a part of Sydney you may not know much about. It's an unexpected and interesting discovery - and the best way to travel, in a small group. This would suit International tourists looking for a deeper insight during their visit and of course locals who are keen to learn more about their own city.

Caite’s tour was incredible! Every stop on the tour has something better than the last (except the first stop which is the best of all with the Bahn Mi’s!). Her knowledge of the history of the area is deep and she was willing to answer any questions the group had. The alcohol was a big point to attract me to the tour and the brewery and bars had really tasty locally made drinks. Loved it! Will do it again for sure!
