I am so happy that we decided to start our vacation with this tour. The team was amazing from the booking process to the actual tour. Justin made sure that we were accommodated even with travel changes and Dan our tour guide was amazing. The tour was tailored to fit our needs even as the weather did not cooperate fully Dan was able to pivot and made sure we had a good time.

Very nice and informative city walk around Sydney! Daniel was awesome.

Melinda was absolutely fabulous. Great tour. Great food. She is so knowledgeable and informative. Will recommend to everyone

Such a fantastic tour, you often walk the streets of Newtown and get distracted by the sounds and buzz; but this tour really allowed us to stop and see the beauty of all the artwork and history through the streets of Newtown.
A big thank you to our guide Melinda; she has a deep love and appreciation for the art and history of Newtown – not to mention some great little food spots along the way! Highly recommend. Value for money!

This was great informative tour and food yummy- thanks so much Melinda !!!

Great tour. Steve was a fountain of knowledge about Sydney past and present which he presented in a very entertaining way.
Would definitely recommend this tour.

We loved our Chinatown tour with Justin today! Such great spots to visit that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise and very yummy food. The history was so interesting to hear about and our young daughter also enjoyed being immersed in such wonderful culture. We will be back for another tour very soon! Thankyou Justin.

What I liked most about the tour was Steve. He was prompt, knowledgeable (even when asked obscure questions), clever (seriously, a bottomless pit of ‘dad jokes’ about tour topics, psychology, History, maths, or just whatever conversation popped up), engaging, and entertaining. His suggestions for food, additional sources for information, etc were spot on. His impressions are top notch, sense of humor delightful, insight into regional/national/international Aussie views are historically based and hilarious (everyone are rivals and also get along).

I highly recommend Local Sauce in general (we took a tour with Justin as well in Chinatown), but especially if you want the nitty gritty regarding all things Sydney because Steve will not disappoint!

We did the Secret Bars and Stories Tour with Jake and had an awesome time! Jake was super friendly and made us feel welcome straight away. He took us to some great bars with lots of character, and we had such a fun night. Really glad we booked this tour—highly recommend it!

Great tour by Dan – clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about Sydney. It was entertaining as well as informative, nice and chilled atmosphere, great way to spend a few hours when you arrive in the City so you know what to go back and look at when you have more time

Wonderful Food & Fantastic Stories! Justin was a great guide – learnt a lot and was able to experience some amazing different foods!
Highly recommend this tour to locals and tourists alike!
Thanks for a great few hours Justin! We loved it!

The tour was brilliant and covered a lot. Our tour guide, Daniel, had a plethora of knowledge, was an interactive tour guide and a genuinely pleasant guy. It was a relaxed tour, and the coffee and toilet break was a nice touch.

Steve is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and even though I have been in Australia for many years I learnt lots.

The Newtown Food & Street Art Small Group Tour led by Andrew was amazing! There were 5 of us guests total in the group, which was perfect for a casual and fun experience. Andrew knew so much about the local art and cuisine in Newton and we really felt like we got a sense of the culture of the area. I would definitely recommend this tour for visitors in Sydney. Thank you!

We had an awesome time on the Newtown Chewtown tour with our guide Andrew. It was so cool to see the incredible diversity in street art and learn about its culture and the history behind some of the pieces. All the food spots that we stopped at were delicious, and we got a lot of good recommendations for spots we didn’t stop at. I’d suggest taking the tour on the earlier end of your trip if you’re traveling so you have a chance to go take advantage of some of the recommendations you get on the tour!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My bestie & I booked the Five Dock walking tour after deciding we should make more of an effort to explore our local neighbourhood.

Great decision! It was such a lovely way to spend our Saturday morning. We started the tour with a hot drink (winning!!), organised by Justin – our awesome guide.

Our favourite stop was at the most incredible, 17th generation(!), butcher where we got to sample delicious house made sausages – simultaneously delighting us & ruining supermarket snags forever.

Justin made sure we all had a great experience – he looked after everyone & made sure we all had enough food. Don’t eat breakfast!! You won’t need it!!!

It was so lovely to see the rapport between Justin and the business owners, there’s genuine care & friendship there – It felt like sharing food with family.

Thank you! Bec & Tus.

Must Try This Bar Crawl Experience! The bar crawl was amazing! It was a fun and relaxed way to meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds! Big thanks to Justin & Jack for being such thoughtful hosts and making everyone feel welcome. Your effort really showed! Highly recommend this to anyone new in town—it’s social, local, and unforgettable. Thanks again for the great vibes! 😊

Steve was so much fun and gave us a great tour of sydney! He was very fun, kind and interesting. We highly recommend the tour!

The stories were interesting. Also the bars were great. Loved their vibe. Took great pictures. Overall a great experience 🙂

Absolutely Blown Away! The Best Bar Tour Experience in Sydney!Wow! This bar tour completely exceeded my expectations and was an absolute blast from start to finish. If you’re looking for an incredible way to experience Sydney’s vibrant nightlife, look no further – this is the one.Our guide, Justin, was simply phenomenal! His energy was infectious, and he had an incredible knowledge of not only the best hidden local spots but also fascinating historical tidbits about each area we passed through. He effortlessly blended humor with interesting facts, making every transition between bars entertaining, and he genuinely cared that everyone was having a fantastic time. Justin truly made the night special.The entire experience felt incredibly well-organized and seamless. The pacing was just right, allowing us to truly enjoy each bar without feeling rushed. It was such a fun and social atmosphere; our group quickly bonded, sharing laughs and making some great new friends by the end of the night.This tour is absolutely worth every penny! It provided an insider’s look at Sydney’s nightlife that no self-guided tour could ever match. I cannot recommend this bar tour highly enough – it’s an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Sydney or even locals wanting a fresh perspective. Thank you for an amazing night!

Our tour guide, Jake, was the best! He made sure no one was left behind and also engaged with everyone in the group. History might not be everyone’s favorite but he made sure to keep it light but still relatable. The length of the tour was enough for us to see important places in Sydney.

Steve led out merry misfit band to some super interesting places for amazing cocktails and stories. He really showed us a side of Sydney that we could never have found on our own!

This was an amazing time for our group of all ages. We had twenty to sixty year olds having fun along with our incredible host Daniel! I really enjoyed the local spots we visited and Daniel gave us some brief history along the way which was great. I will be coming back!!

We had a fantastic time on the Newtown Street Art and Food Tour! Daniel, our guide, had a great personality that made the tour fun and engaging. We learned about the history of Newtown, its vibrant street art culture, and the many artists whose work decorates the area. A bonus highlight was the stops at several local eateries, where we enjoyed some truly delicious bites. We also met some really interesting people on the tour, which added to the overall experience and made it even more enjoyable.

Fabulous tour – Justin was an excellent host full of knowledge and enthusiasm. This was a work team event and it worked brilliantly – we all had a great time, a unique shared experience.

Justin was knowledgeable and interested in his presentation. Foods we sampled were delicious and we will be back again to support those restaurants! A great tour for people travelling in Sydney and locals alike. We learned a lot!

This was a fabulous way to explore a little pocket of Sydney. Andrew was our tour guide and he was excellent. The tour timing was perfect – we never felt rushed, nor did it seem to drag. Loads of good information and the foodie stops were great as well. I would highly recommend this tour.

Newtown Street Art and Food Walking Tour.Our group had a lovely afternoon exploring the amazing array of steet art and food offerings in and around Newtown, thanks to our super guide Andrew, from Local Sauce Tours.Andrew was knowledgeable, informative and interesting. He was friendly, welcoming and comfortable to be around. His articulation was excellent – we learnt a lot about the art and artists alike, and also certainly enjoyed the food choices at the stops along the walk.It was a truly enjoyable experience that we are very happy to recommend.Just do it! It’s good value for money.

Justin did a great job giving us a wonderful experience of Chinatown culture and authentic food. The food we tried was amazing. Thankyou

This was one of the best food tours I had done. I chose it because my other food tours had cancelled, but I was more than pleasantly surprised and was glad I got the chance to do this one instead. I had plenty of food and learned a lot about the local history of Sydney’s Chinatown, and really enjoyed the entire thing. Our guide also gave us all suggestions of other places to try after the 5 or 6 spots we had gone to. I can’t stop thinking about the lamb dish we tried – it was amazing! Thank you!

Jake was awesome had a fun time exploring the city and learning history about Australia! Wish we could do more tours and have more time in Sydney. Will definitely have to come back!

Fascinating tour with excellent host providing a great insight into Newtown’s food scene, breweries and street art, the latter proving a lot more interesting than I expected!I have joined several Local Sauce tours in Sydney plus one in Brisbane and all have been 5-star experiences covering aspects that I would have missed as an independent traveler.

Dan was a fabulous guide. The history and stories were all so interesting and the hidden bar scene was incredible. All good locations. Would definitely recommend

We had the best time with Justin in Newtown! He is incredibly knowledgeable of the area, and we were amazed at the variety and volume of restaurants and bars he pointed out and knew the history of.
It was really nice to have him as our guide because he already knew most of the bartenders and owners, which made the evening feel so personable.
We couldn’t recommend this enough, and would go on more of his tours if only we lived closer than Missouri, USA!
Also, the Turkish ice cream was the perfect way to end the night!

We had a fabulous time touring China town! Bunny, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and funny. Glad we got to see places and taste food we wouldn’t have otherwise seen/eaten. My favorite was the soup dumplings

We had a wonderful time exploring Newtown and learning about the area. Seeing the great street art and getting to munch food made for a great first day in Sydney. Our host was friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable for the area

Jake was very knowledgeable and organised. All the venues were cool and fun, drinks and vibes were good. It’s a great (and safe) way to check out bars while travelling solo

Great way to start a visit to a new city. It helped us with a mixture of history, culture, sightseeing, shopping, and food. I highly recommend.

Our walking tour with Nicole gave us a great welcome to Brisbane. Nicole’s local knowledge provided us with a good understanding of the layout and history of Brisbane. We also ended with a couple of yummy surprises!

One word to describe the tour : excellent !
Bunny was an attentive guide, she knew how to make the subject interesting with the stories.
Thank you we had a great time.

Daniel was so knowledgeable and we learned so many fun facts about Sydney’s history. He was very good at connecting everyone, answering questions, and being so energetic. We loved it and would highly recommend!!!!

Steve did a great job explaining the history and sights of Sydney. It was a particularly rainy day, and he did a good job of keeping us under cover as much as possible and capitalizing on the few times the sun came out. Would recommend this experience.

A must-do experience when in Sydney! Our tour guide was engaging and very knowledgeable. The spots we visited had great vibes and really nice cocktails. Highly recommend!

Steve was an absolute wonderful host with a knack for storytelling. We learnt so much about the history of not just the nation but also great local places to visit in Sydney. Definitely recommend it!

We loved our tour with Daniel.
Lots of stories and insights with lots of enthusiasm!
We appreciated the historical context and the tour really set us up for our visit in Sydney.
Two thumbs up. 👍🏼👍🏼

Really enjoyed the walking tour of Brisbane. Great storytelling Nicole! Loved the Luna Cafe which I frequented every day until my departure xo

Daniel was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the stories he was telling! The tour was great fun and covered a perfect variety of history, culture and recommendations for the rest of our trip. We would highly recommend this tour!

Michael was an outstanding host. He integrated history and storytelling very well, and the whole trip was super engaging, Michael was also personable and linked history and current events in Sydney to the home regions of the participants, in this case, the UK and US. The pace was so relaxed that we did not even realize how much ground we covered until the end. Michael also provided stellar and thoughtful food and excursion recommendations, We highly recommend Michael as your tour guide!

This was an absolutely wonderful experience! I especially want to praise our guide Bunny, whose vibrant and energetic leadership style made the entire journey incredibly fun. Bunny was able to customize her explanations based on the situation, presenting Chinatown’s history and cultural background in an accessible yet thorough way, while guiding us to sample various authentic delicacies.
Through this tour, I not only tasted delicious street food but also gained a deeper understanding of Chinatown’s historical development and cultural traditions. Bunny’s extensive knowledge and friendly attitude made this experience truly memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Chinatown in depth!

The bar crawl was a fantastic experience! It was such a fun and relaxed way to meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds. A huge shoutout to you both for being such thoughtful and attentive hosts Justin & Jack! it really made the night feel welcoming and comfortable for everyone. Your effort to check in with each guest didn’t go unnoticed!
I’d highly recommend this night out to anyone new in town, whether they’re just visiting or planning to stay longer. It’s the perfect mix of social, local, and memorable!
Thanks again for the great vibes! 🙂

Such a fun night! Met some great people and got to enjoy some cool pubs that I otherwise probably wouldn’t have known about. The tour guide was excellent – told some interesting stories and even more importantly made everyone feel welcome and included, kudos to him! Highly recommend.

We had the joy of having the day tour as well as night tour. It was spaced out brilliant and had hours of the day before the night tour I highly recommend doing both and seeing a different place each time. We were thinking we may be going over things we done during the day but absolutely not! We were lucky to have Dan again and he had even more new stories and interesting facts about a few places we walked passed and it was such a different tour with amazing choices of bars. Again Dan giving so much information about the locals and depth of the bars speciality it was so great. No doubt in our minds we wouldn’t have reached half of the places in 2 days in what we achieved at both tours. Another good way to meeting new people also it had great energy. Truly big up to Dan from myself and my husband he truly made our day and night tours so fun and left us wanting more stories! Only good can come from the booking, worth it!

It was fantastic we were a small group which was amazing!! True reason of it being so great and fulfilled was because of our guide Dan. Dan was a joy to listen to he was so full of enthusiasm and genuine intent of chatting about the history of Sydney and you could really be involved in his stories around the city. He was the perfect energy for learning from him. His attentiveness while we were asking questions and no language barrier at all he was patient and courtesous. Took the good and silly questions, answered them all and he was a delight to share the day with. So much for respect for Dan. The tour itself was great, great layout to see the city. We only had 2 full days and we booked this seeing SO MUCH it absolutely had us fulfilled in seeing the city short or long time. Dan was so helpful as we went around the city on what we may find interesting in the areas and food and drinks places after we asked for what suited us. So helpful. Tour is a great way to see and learn!

What I liked most about the tour was Steve. He was prompt, knowledgeable (even when asked obscure questions), clever (seriously, a bottomless pit of ‘dad jokes’ about tour topics, psychology, History, maths, or just whatever conversation popped up), engaging, and entertaining.

My tour was very good. Nicole was enthusiastic, friendly and engaging, immediately putting everyone at ease. She was knowledgeable about the areas we walked through and offered other activities we could participate in those areas , like the city markets which only locals would know. She was not rigid about time but allowed us to make the odd purchase and introduced us to Noosa chocolate by buying us a treat. The walk was unhurried and finished at a lovely bar overlooking the river. I would highly recommend the tour.

Justin was knowledgeable and nice. We like all the food and places he took us. I’ll recommend this tour 100%

great evevening! great guide! great bars!

Steve was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable about all things Sydney! Even though we were only a group of two, he kept things lively and interesting. We left feeling like we learned so much about the city!

It was perfect!!! Highly recommendable!!!!

Such a great night. Small group, big fun. We were only two guests plus our guide, but he really made an effort and created a fantastic experience. I had the best time ever. Delicious drinks, super cool locations, and a fun mix of street art and local history along the way. What’s not to love? Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and memorable night out in Sydney.

Le guide, Steve, était tout simplement excellent ! Merci pour cette visite de Sydney mêlant histoire, anecdotes et humour ! Un très bon moment passé avec le groupe. Je recommande vivement.

Very good experience and highly recommendable!!!! Daniel is an excellent guide with very good knowledge of the history of Sydney and he gives very good recommendations. thank you very much Daniel for your effort and your work!!!!

Melinda was a fantastic guide. Fun and knowledgeable and highly recommend. The tour around Newtown was informative and Melinda made the experience fun with the combination of food and drink. The tacos, pie, ice cream and falafel hit the spot and ended up in a cool brewery to finish. Great way to spend an afternoon.

Dan was a great tour guide. Very informative and interesting to listen to about the history behind all the spots he showed us.

Bunny was very informative and made the day interesting and entertaining!

Saskia was a great guide, really knowledgeable about the street art, friendly and she took us to some great bars. It was nice to be part of a nice group, everyone was really nice and great to spend time with people from around the world.

Justin was great. Excellent knowledge base. Very friendly. The amount of food and the location of the stops were excellent. Timed perfectly. He even had laminated photos and documents to share about the Chinese history in Australia and Sydney. We recommend whole heartedly.

Our guide Saska did an excellent job of showing us interesting parts of Brisbane and it’s history, mixed in with fun and facts. we had a great time . Gerry and Laura

Daniel was a great guide, very engaging and knowledgeable. We are not massive art fans but wanted something a bit different- Daniel was enthusiastic and made the tour very interesting for us. The food/drink stops were very good too. Daniel went above and beyond at the end of the tour by escorting us to the bus stop and advising us what bus we should get and when to get off which was very much appreciated. Thanks
