- Ursula Nowack17/01/2025I have done 3 tours and loved all of them. Each one totally different and everytime a different guide. But each of them where very passionate and enthousiastic. So if in Sydney book a tour with localsaucetours. Thank you Steve, Justin and Dan! My knowledge of Sydney is so much better now ; )read moreread less
- Jessica Rassmann10/01/2025My husband and I booked a private Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour with Local Sauce Tours, led by Justin, and it was fantastic! Justin is an exceptional guide and storyteller, mixing history, culture, and local knowledge into an enjoyable experience. The tour was well-paced, intimate, and filled with insights we’d never find in a guidebook. He also gave us plenty of recommendations for food, shopping, and local gems to explore afterward. We ended the tour at Rocks Brewing Co, where Justin treated us to a round of drinks while we enjoyed views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. If you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond the usual tourist spots and offers a deeper dive into Sydney’s history and culture, this one is a must!read moreread less
- Jimmy05/01/2025This was our very first day in Brisbane. My mother and I wanted to explore the city on foot and were fortunate enough to find a last-minute booking.
Instruction and expectations were clear and our guide, Justin, communicated well immediately after we made our booking a mere hour before the tour was scheduled to begin.
I felt that a great deal of consideration and care went into our experience. Justin grew up in the area and was both adept and humble about the history of the area and did not attempt to share Aboriginal/Indigenous/First Nations stories wherein they were not his to share. Much respect and reverence was expressed which is not as common in the U.S.A. when it comes to Indigenous/Enslaved Peoples’ histories.
A local beer as well as a refreshing non-alcoholic drink option were available at the end of this fascinating walk
I would recommend this to all interested in a deeper dive into uncommon history as well as more nuanced introductions to the history of Brisbane.read moreread less - Dora04/01/2025Fun time. Kieran was great (I know so much more about cricket now! 😄). It’s a fun way to meet new people and get to see parts of the city you might otherwise miss. The bars were all unique and interesting. My husband and daughters and I all enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend, especially for the earlier part of your trip. Good intro to Sydney. Thanks, Kieran!read moreread less
- Debbie04/01/2025I booked this short tour for my brother & I. We both really enjoyed the day.
Our guide Steve was very knowledgeable and kept a well proportioned pace of walking and pit stop breaks, peppered with the right amount of unique & interesting information on the locations we visited and good humour 😁
We also had a nice group of people that attended the tour with usread moreread lessHarry Bassett-Butt03/01/2025I had a pub crawl walk and history tour walk in Sydney with Daniel (both times) and was blown away by his knowledge. You can tell how passionate he is about the history of Sydney, and it shows in his enthusiasm. He was equipped for every question we asked him which was really impressive. I couldn’t recommend him enough, not just for his extensive knowledge in the local area, but also because he is such a down to earth and easy to chat with guy that he makes the walks feels much shorter than they are. Thank you Daniel!read moreread less - Avina03/01/2025Excellent! Perfect plan and layout. Great story telling, basic history of the country, states and city which was engaging and one could understand how was Australia found and it’s development and present relationship to world and within.
Saw beautiful landmarks and walked at mild pace , a 4km walk, and great company. Dan is a fun person with his personal anecdotes the overall tour was excellent!read moreread less

- Campbell Electrical30/12/2024We decided on the Surry Hills Crime & Cocktails tour for our company Christmas party. It was the perfect fit for us. Kate was not only so knowledgeable on her history and stories of the area, but also a real sport getting involved in our dress ups! From the initial enquiry with Justin until the end of our tour, Local Sauce Tours were fantastic and easy to deal with. Can’t wait to go around again with them soon!read moreread less
- Cardwell Lynch29/12/2024I had such a great time on this “Pub Crawl”. I likened it as a 3hr Contiki tour as you meet a group of strangers, have some drinks and end up with 12 new friends from all over the world. Dan (aka Avicii) our guide for the night was fun & knowledgeable! I highly recommend this tour whether you are a tourist or local like me.read moreread less
- Suksiri L14/12/2024It was a great experience for me to join the tour which collaborated with Fujfilm X- M5
All the restaurants we went to were outstanding, the tastes were fantastic, the tour guide; Justin was very friendly and very knowledgeable about food and history of Newtown. I definitely recommend all the food lovers, photography lovers and great socialising ! 100% must try for your memorable experience!read moreread less - Diana B12/12/2024This has to be the best tour I’ve ever been on. Daniel is the most amazing guide, his knowledge is extraordinary and he shares it with passion and fun. Thoroughly recommend this – we learnt more about Sydney in these three hours than the whole week and really enjoyed the experience. Thank you Dan, you are great!read moreread less
- Paul R08/12/2024This was a brilliant trip, due to Daniel and his knowledge. Anything he didn’t know which wasn’t much, he found out by contacting his office.
We walked round roads we normally wouldn’t have and learnt about all the history.
A great journey which took 40 minutes longer than expected as Daniel explained everything and answered lots of questions.read moreread lessJourney5664344216808/12/2024Our bar crawl was an unforgettable journey through Sydney’s finest bars, and Daniel, our host, made it truly exceptional. With his background as an ex-bartender and a local history tour guide, he added a rich layer of storytelling, sharing fascinating historical insights about Sydney’s streets.
Daniel’s recommendations for local drinks and food were spot on, making the experience both authentic and flavorful. Beyond the bars, the camaraderie among the group was incredible—we made amazing connections with fellow participants, which added to the overall enjoyment.
If you’re visiting Sydney, this bar crawl is an absolute must-try. It’s the perfect way to explore the city’s vibrant nightlife and immerse yourself in its history and culture.read moreread lessExplore0313985924807/12/2024Outstanding tour of the city! A great way to learn about the history of Sydney and get a better understanding of the overall layout of the area. would recommend doing this on your first day. Steve was our guide and did an excellent job. He knew so much about the history and had great general knowledge of Sydney as he is a local. We had a stop at a bakery midway which was nice and at the end finished at the Squire on the harbor for a beer. Nice touch. Steve gave us a good reco for dinner as we ended our tour at 6:30. Perfect way to end the day.read moreread less - Queenie T06/12/2024For our team Christmas party, we took the Chinatown Tour – Street Food & Stories. Justin took us on an informative, emotional and tasty journey. It’s often said that when living in a city, you don’t get the opportunities to appreciate the history and culture. Thanks to Local Sauce Tours providing a enjoyable reminder of just how amazing our own backyards are.read moreread lessCompass73789030/11/2024We did this walking tour to help orientate ourselves in Sydney CBD. The tour was fun and interesting. Steve, our tour guide was full of lots of fun facts. We used a lot of his recommendations during our remaining time in Sydney. A great way to learn about the Sydney CBD.read moreread less
- jacqualinm201726/11/2024The small group walking tour was fantastic. It was the best way learn about the city especially during the first few days of our visit. We enjoyed the history, architecture, public art and quirky little laneways that we would have never found on our own. I particularly liked learning about the indigenous history of the area. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and even gave us some suggestions for places to visit and eat.
Finishing the tour with a beverage at a venue with a view was great.read moreread lessU7237MEdawnp23/11/2024This walking tour was so much fun! Our tour guide, Steven, was a native Australian and definitely knew his history. We went a decent distance all around the city, so wear your comfy shoes! Steven was awesome to chat with along the way, and there are a couple of refreshment/restroom stops along the way. If you’re looking for a comprehensive walkabout Sydney, this should definitely be the walking tour you take!read moreread less - W1391ETmelb18/11/2024We had a small group. The tour guide ensured we all introduced ourselves. He was an extremely knowledgeable man and the tour was very interesting. We got to see the highlights of historic Sydney and see/ find out things we wouldn’t have been able to without the guide. I thoroughly recommend joining a group.read moreread less

- Ben Scott05/02/2023Awesome experience doing the Chinatown food tour today! Both my parents couldn’t stop raving about this experience and the food they would never of eaten plus the local art work we would have just walked past/ history of the area.
This was a great experience and could recommend this tour highly enough. As a Sydney sider I was gob smacked with how good the tour was! Definetly will be back for more tours! Thanks for the awesome hospitality Justin!read moreread less - Melis Akiz14/01/2020Aussie You’s Secret Bar Crawl covering the Darlinghurst and Surry Hills neighborhoods was easily the highlight of my time in Sydney! Justin took us to some really unique places and made sure that everyone in the group connected well that most of us chose to continue our night after the tour was completed. You should definitely try this tour and I promise you will not just have a blast but also enjoy a unique experience with a knowledgeable and caring guide that you will not forget.read moreread less
- Kate Chen14/12/2019Justin的bar crawl非常值得來參加!整個晚上就像是有個當地朋友帶你去只有當地人才知道的酒吧去玩,他選了風格不同且都很獨特的酒吧,是我們不會知道要去的地方。
Justin人非常友善及幽默風趣,讓你覺得很自在放鬆且有趣!
另外他中文説得也很不錯,所以不用擔心英文不夠好。很推薦參加Justin的bar crawl tour 完美體驗當地夜生活 :)
Justin’s bar crawl is so much fun! It’s like a local friend showing you around the coolest bars while you visit his city! He picked the bars that you would not go by yourselves and he is very friendly and fun to hang out with! Perfect for solo travelers to meet new friends and enjoy local night vibe! Highly recommended!read moreread lessBen Ridding11/12/20195 out of 5 stars. Joined the hidden bar tour after finding a flyer for AussieYou Tours in the hostel I was staying. Tour was great, got to see a completely different bar scene that you would just not find from google searches or normal research methods. Pretty sure that most Sydney residents would not be aware of some of the bars we went to. Justin was a fantastic host, as well as taking the group around cool bars he kept the group entertained with interesting history on Sydney and teaching us Aussie Slang. Would recommend this tour for anybody visiting Sydney and for Sydney residents who want to see a side to the city they might not have been before.read moreread less - Sarah Ann12/04/2019I went on Justin’s secret city bar crawl tour in Sydney with a friend. We had such an amazing time that we had to book the secret Surry Hills bar crawl as well! Both nights were exceptional and Justin is a really good host! The bars we went to were really cool and I definitely would not of stumbled across them!! I really do recommend going on these tours if you are in Sydney, you won’t be disappointed!read moreread less
