- Laredo14/01/2026This was such a great almost 4 hour walking tour from start to finish. The itinerary was packed in the best possible wayโevery stop felt worthwhile, wellโtimed, and thoughtfully planned. Matt, tour guide was absolutely wonderful: friendly, organised, and incredibly knowledgeable. They shared so many insights and stories that added real depth to each place we visited. You could tell they genuinely loved what they do. Overall, an amazing experience and highly recommended.read moreread lessKirin14/01/2026์์ฆ์ ์ ๋ฐ์ ๋ํด์ ์์ธํ ์ ์ ์๋ ์ข์ ๊ฒฝํ์ด์์ต๋๋ค. ์์ด๋ฅผ ์ข ๋ ์ ์ฐฝํ๊ฒ ํ ์ ์์ผ๋ฉด ์จ๊ฒจ์ง ์ฅ์์ ์ญ์ฌ์ ๋ํด์ ์ธ์ธํ ์ ์ ์์ ๊ฒ๋๋ค. ์ค๊ฐ์ค๊ฐ์ ์น๋ฐํ๊ฒ ๋ง๋ค์ด ์ฃผ๋ ์ค๋ชฐ ํ ํฌ์ ๋ง์ง๋ง์ ๋งฅ์ฃผ ํ ์๊น์ง ๋งค์ฐ ํ๋ฅญํ ๊ตฌ์ฑ์ด์์ต๋๋ค. ๊ฐ์ด๋ matt์ญ์ ์น์ ํ๊ณ ์ ๋จธ๋ฌ์ค ํ ์ต๊ณ ์ ๊ฐ์ด๋์์ต๋๋ค.read moreread less
- Lorinda12/01/2026We enjoyed the tastes offered, but were hoping for more for the price. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Chinatown and China in general, especially since he lives part time in China. We appreciated his thorough knowledge. The one beverage offered was at a tea stand that we had to pay extra for ourselves. It was a very hot day and it was a lot of standing around in the heat listening to him talk a lot about history. It would have been nice to have more of a focus on the food and chats about history sitting in shade or air conditioning. But an interesting tour.read moreread lessDeneille Sutton10/01/2026A Melbournian in Sydney I wanted to get some idea of the culture and history of Sydney. I did two walking tours, a bar/street art tour and a history tour. The bar tour was great in one of the inner suburbs of Sydney I felt this is one of the areas that Sydneysiders like to party and enjoy the nightlife. The history tour was very informative Matt, knew his Sydney and you can hear his passion of his city and I learnt a lot. I would suggest anyone try Local Sauce Tours, they were engaging, fun and informative.read moreread less
James10/01/2026Very much a disappointment actually.
While the host was extremely friendly and engaging, the cost per person (collectively) only to then be taken to locations where the average drink was beyond $20 AUD per drink โฆ simply did not meet my โexpectationsโ at all. Lovely group – wonderful host – but โproductโ or โexperienceโ needs to either be clearly communicated or perhaps revised to reflect participants expectations.read moreread less
Taina06/01/2026This was my second local sauce tour and my favorite nightlife experience in Sydney! You really get access to bars you wouldnโt be able to find yourself as a tourist, and itโs a great way to meet friends for solo travelers. If you are visiting Sydney a local sauce tour is a must. Thank you to our guide Ari!read moreread less- Taina Martinez05/01/2026Justin is an art connoisseur. So if you are into not only indulging in art but learning the history he gives the best street art tour Sydney has to offer. He takes time to not only give you the history of the art, but the culture of the area you are touring in Sydney and really makes you feel like a local with his bar choices. You can tell he is a hometown hero. Everywhere we went he was greeted with love and praise from the owners of each establishment. He took me to my favorite bars I have ever been to in Sydney and if it wasnโt for his tour – I wouldnโt have met all my new friends as a solo traveler. Chippendale is tour #1 of 3 I have taken of local sauce so if that doesnโt say itโs a bucket list must do when you are visiting Australia idk what would. Donโt think, just book! We love Justin and local sauce!read moreread lessNancy Lin05/01/2026We had a wonderful experience on the Newtown tour, and Robyn did an excellent job. She explained the details of the murals clearly and engagingly, and it was fascinating to learn about food from different cultures and nations. The Turkish ice cream was special and truly unique, and the spicy margarita was a great surprise too! Overall, it was an enjoyable, well-organised, and memorable tour. Highly recommended.read moreread less
- Grace Alvarez04/01/2026I joined this Chinatown food tour thinking ahead to when friends visitโand ended up discovering places and stories I hadnโt known as well as I thought. I knew Mother Chu from UberEats ๐; the tour made it feel properly known. Every other stop was new, authentic, and full of history.
Justin, our guide, was knowledgeable and empathetic without being performative. The tour offers clear historical context and gently highlights how migrants who faced the biggest barriers helped shape Australiaโs food culture. Well paced, well fed, and genuinely interesting. Highly recommend.read moreread lessCindy A04/01/2026We completed your small group walking tour today with Matt as our guide. He did an amazing job of taking our group through the history of Australia, the development of Sydney, and sharing stories behind many key locations along our trek. Matt was super knowledgeable, very personable, a true gentleman, and took great care of all of us.read moreread less
Mitchell04/01/2026Justin was a great host. His knowledge of Chinatown and the Chinese culture made the tour that much better. His knowledge of local history and the people involved in the past was second to none. The food choices were excellent as was the story behind each place. I highly recommend the tour if you enjoy food and the story behind it.read moreread less

suzanneb69624/12/2025This is a good value tour with a knowledgeable guide but there is a fair bit of walking. We’d been in the city a couple of days but found that Jake introduced us to area’s we hadn’t been to. Well worth doing. The admin is also excellent, as I had an issue with the original day I had booked for and they changed to another tour with no fuss. They also recognised that we’d done a tour with them in Brisbane and gave us a rebooking discount.read moreread less
Elaflo22/12/2025Really enjoyed the tour. Jake was really knowledgeable, and I felt that I had a much better and interesting view of the fabulous city of Sydney. So thank you, Jake. Also worth noting that I used the same company for a tour in Brisbane with Tom which was equally as engaging and interesting. So good when they really know their stuff.read moreread less
Oliver M22/12/2025Fantastic tour with Jake! Very knowledgable and engaging. Discovered places in Sydney that you wouldnโt stumble across normally and he gave out great recommendations for local bakeries and bars. To top it off, got a great drink at the end! Highly recommend this tour!read moreread less

Aleksandr03/01/2026Great days and nights out with Steve, Jake, Ari and of course Justin. If you want to get most out of your stay you are well advised looking into their wide range of tours.

Tyler03/01/2026Justin was a fantastic guide! The history behind the street art was all very interesting. Every piece of art had a story and the 3 bars we went to were all unique and fun. I highly recommend this to fellow solo travelers and people new to the area! Local Sauce Tours never disappoints!read moreread less

- Anna20/12/2025I enjoyed learning more about some of the key Sydney landmarks. Jake was a very warm, friendly and informative guide as well. Even though I’m from Australia, I still learnt some things. A well paced walking tour, it wasn’t too taxing for an unfit person like me ๐read moreread less
