- Amy Mason20/02/2025Had a wonderful tour with Steve. I learned a lot about the history of Sydney, and got to visit some places that I would otherwise have not seen. I really enjoyed the jaunt into the botanical gardens – especially the well timed kookaburra, and the corpse flower stories (I now have a mission to see one bloom with a nose plug handy). The pace was great, the beer at the end was nice – and we got a great recommendation for some tasty vegan tacos in Newtown after the tour. Plus extra bonus points for some top notch and also rubbish dad jokes. I also really appreciated the booking experience. Justin was very quick to respond to questions, and even helped us to successfully move our booking last minute due to a calender error! Thanks Stevie, Gerard, Jean, and Amyread moreread less
- LauraGrace112618/02/2025Justin is the bar to measure all guides by! We are overdue on writing this review. Upon arriving in Sydney over 2 weeks ago, we started our trip with this tour by Justin. His personality and storytelling had us enthralled. Every person in our group was so impressed by him. If only we had teachers like him in school, perhaps we’d actually remember what we were taught! We expected that every guide in Australia would be of this caliber, but sadly, he ruined it for us. Not one has come close to Justin’s delivery and in depth subject knowledge. There have been so many tours in the last two weeks, where we’ve looked atone another, shaken our heads and said, “he’s no comparison to Justin”!Book this tour with Local Sauce ( and Justin). You won’t be disappointed! Laura and Mikeread moreread less
- Dwain M17/02/2025Stop with the jokes Steve Steve was great at explaining the city, but his jokes were terrible, and I begged him to stop halfway through. The walk is quite long, over three hours, but I think it’s a good way to see the city. You can grab a coffee halfway through and finish with a beer. You come away with a firm grasp of the rich heritage of Sydney.read moreread lessJeff15/02/2025This is a must do experience. It was easily one of my favorite tours not just in Sydney, but that I’ve done anywhere. Dan, the host, was incredibly social and did a great job of creating a fun and comfortable environment. Every bar we went to was cool and didn’t feel touristy which was amazing. I can’t recommend this enough.read moreread lessLyse15/02/2025What a great day spent with Daniel. He is super friendly and attentive. The knowledge Daniel has of his city is impressive. Little attentions. It is easy to see that Daniel loves history and his city. We finished off with a beer at the Squire Landing. I truly recommend this tour.read moreread less
- Helena Bundock14/02/2025I really really enjoyed this tour. Justin was just delightful and so knowledgeable, very passionate about history of Chinese culture and contribution in Australia, AND his choice of restaurants to try local delights were fantastic. Look forward to doing it again the next time I’m in town!!read moreread less
- 재영11/02/2025The Sydney hidden bar tour was an unforgettable experience. I discovered amazing bars I wouldn’t have found on my own, and every beer, cocktail, and snack was outstanding. Thanks to the unique atmosphere and friendly guide, I enjoyed meeting new people and having a great time. I’d love to do it again!read moreread lessPhillip11/02/2025It was a good walking tour, nothing wrong with the host or information or recommendations, but it was quite pricey compared to walking tours in every other major cities around the world, including europe, US, etc. I’ve done 20+ walking tours in different countries, this one was about 35-40% more expensive than typical, not including the “free” tip based tours.read moreread less
- Denise10/02/2025We spent a fabulous morning learning about this great city with a fabulous knowledgeable guide. Michael was friendly approachable and fun. I would recommend this trip to anyone, my 81 year old mum came with me and managed the walking with no problems whatsoever. Thank you we really enjoyed our morning with you.read moreread less
- Lisa09/02/2025Bunny was the best part of our tour! She had so much energy it made a great tour even better. The food we tasted was so good – the soup dumplings were outstanding! It was a really fun day and Bunny’s knowledge of Sydney and Chinese culture was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it to everyone.read moreread lessT K09/02/2025Informative, Fun, and Flexible! I had an amazing tour with Steve! He was very informative and I’m super thankful that he was happy to go on a slower pace to answer our questions and give us more information when he found out what interested us. Because of this, we went over time, and he was happy to do so. One of the best walking tours I’ve ever been on!read moreread less
- Jara08/02/2025Great introduction to Brisbane to start our visit! Fun history and great art throughout the city! Nicole was fantastic with showing us Brisbane special touches (like the chocolates) and wonderful to inform us where bathroom are along the tour without being obvious. You can tell she loves this city! We even had a family in our group who had been living in Brisbane for >10yrs and wanted to learn more about their city! Great tour!!read moreread less

- melanie c08/02/2025Worst Terrible directions provided which caused us to not fine the start of the tour. The button for Google Maps directed us to the incorrect meeting point.

- Elizabeth Truesdell06/02/2025Daniel gave us a great walking tour of Sydney, providing excellent historical stories and information along our route. He had guided friends of ours who had taken the tour previously, and we all enjoyed Daniel as a guide. Daniel also provided treats along the way, which was above and beyond.read moreread lesslivetoenjoylife06/02/2025Great walking tour!!!

- Mike H12/01/2025My son and I did the Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour on Friday morning, January 3rd. Our guide was called Steve, of Lisdoonvarna stock! Steve was very knowledgeable as well as witty, and very passionate about his home city. It was a nice touch to get all the members of the group to introduce themselves when we met at the Customs House. What followed then was a very interesting few hours as Steve took us to many interesting places and chatted about many of the characters responsible for developing Sydney into the city that it is today. A drink at The Squires Landing at Circular Quay was enjoyed by all at the end.read moreread lessJessAndTaylor10/01/2025My 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
- Jason W09/01/2025As a local myself, I definitely found this better than expected. Perfect for education with history behind Surry Hills/Darlinghurst, perfect for socializing from different backgrounds, perfect experiencing the bars for drinking of course :)Justin, the guide, was chill and easy going.read moreread lessLeigh B09/01/2025Steve was our walking tour guide. He was so enthusiastic of Sydney and his country and knowledgeable of its history. The tour took us to some special sites and then some you wouldn’t expect. He made it fun and gave us great insight on the history and many things we could on our own while we were here in Sydney. Sorry Justin, we kept him a little over the tour time length but we were having too much fun. We will definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the city and it is a must do even if you have been to Sydney before. Thanks Steve. Will do this again!read moreread less

The night breeze in sydney was great and drinking beer, or jin was an essential part of our continuous talkin.
There were few guests who were talking continuously haha and Jack tried to make a balance between the people and always, very, very kind and considerate.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
