It’s such a fun way to try a few good restaurants, explore Newtown street art and learn the kind of stories you won’t find in the guidebooks. That’s what Justin’s tour is all about – stories of real people behind Newtown’s iconic street art and popular establishments. These stories transform the bricks and stones into the living fabric of the vibrant neighbourhood. And the food on this tour is superb. read less

How many folk actually know that Australia’s most successful war sniper – from any conflict to date – happened to be a boy from rural Queensland, called Billy Sing ? And yet there’s not a plaque or memorial to him anywhere in Australia let alone in Chinatown, so thanks to Justin for educating us in all sorts of entertaining and thought-provoking ways. Your tour is well researched, and just the right amount of walking involved, especially for someone with a sore foot! read less

Justin was a great host and chose three very different bars (one in the CBD & two in The Rocks) that I wouldn’t have even known about if it wasn’t for this tour. My favourite was Hickson House for its beautiful interior and very unique gin infused pavlova. There were only about a dozen of us with only two of us from out of Sydney. Being such a small group and the tour lasting several hours there was ample opportunity to chat to everyone and allowed the evening to be unrushed. Being able to see the Vivid lights between the bars was a bonus. This was my favourite evening during my stay in Sydney and I would definitely do another of this company’s tours. read less

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 less
