- Helen Sharp20/04/2024I was gifted a voucher for Local Sauce tours for my 40th. My husband and I had a fabulous time on the Newtown street art and food tour- we are Sydney locals who saw a new side to Newtown and learnt so much about the food and graffiti scene. Our tour guide was amazing 🤩read moreread less
- TK Gibson19/04/2024Great host (Mitch) who was very knowledgeable and kept the group in high spirits and was a great vibe to be around. He took us to some great bars most of are easy to walk by if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Highly recommend Local Sauce tours especially if you are new to the area.read moreread less
- BlueScotch07/04/2024Outstanding Tour of Historical Sites in Sydney I’ve done walking tours in many cities around the world and I have to say the tour I took with Justin and Local Sauce was absolutely one of the best of any city. Highly informative, I learned a lot about Australian history and culture. It also was very well organized, following an easy to understand chronological set of stories while walking from site to site. Just the right mix of walking and stories. It covered a lot of ground in the three hours, wrapping up on the waterfront in the Rocks. I highly recommend this tour, it was one of the true highlights of my trip to Sydney!read moreread less
- Darlene06/04/2024We have been to Sydney before but never did a walking tour. I wish we had. Justin did an excellent job of weaving together the history with sightseeing and recommendations on places you should eat and drink. We now know the city so much better and know where we want to get next. Thanks Justin!read moreread less
- HY Tan02/04/2024We took the tour hosted by Mitch, and it was wonderful! The bars were great, and it’s a really good crash course on some of the interesting places that are off the beaten track. Our group was a little larger than I expected, but it had a diverse mix of people and it was good company. Our guide, Mitch, was superb. There was history, stories, even current affairs woven into the conversation, and he was warm and personable.read moreread lessMark And Florence02/04/2024We really enjoyed our tour with Justin and Daniel! We liked the style of the tour which encompassed a variety of information about Sidney such as some Aboriginal stories/history, arrival of Dutch/British explorers, early settlement, historical buildings/architecture/preservation and historical figures who played a major role in the development of Sidney. In the process we learned where to eat, shop, and enjoy a beverage!read moreread less
- InHouseCounsel02/04/2024Great Overview of Sydney I signed up for the Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour as my first activity the morning I arrived in Sydney. It was a great overview of the city. Justin was a great guide- he kept us moving while explaining quite a bit of the history and culture around the downtown area, and he provided some good tips on what else to see and where to eat. Highly recommended.read moreread less
- Laura31/03/2024If you like unique experiences, street art and a wide range of foods, this tour is for you. Newtown is old Sydney, a bit grungy/artsy with cool restaurants & eateries with lots of street art & graffiti. We inadvertently had our tour on Easter Sunday and Justin did a great pivoting with different restaurants for us to try that were open. Some better than others but all were very tasty. It’s a very different tour than the usual tourist walking tour. If you are interested is a neighborhood you probably would not visit on your own, this is it. Enjoy the adventure!read moreread lessLaura31/03/2024We had a wonderful time. Bunny, our guide, is absolutely adorable and very food & history knowledgeable. Plenty of food to try. There’s a lot of walking, but a great to explore the area and see restaurants that most likely you would never go to. This tour is a great introduction to China Town!read moreread lessSoham31/03/2024What a great way to experience Sydney’s rich Chinese community and culinary history. We thoroughly enjoyed learning and eating and Bunny’s infectious energy and passion really shines through and really made this tour a memorable one. We’ll be sure to checkout other tours on our next trip!read moreread less

I swear we covered all the important parts of the Sydney—from Circular Quay through the business and retail districts, along Macquarie Street to Hyde Park and then back through easy-to-miss laneways. Along the way, our knowledgeable, wry guide, Justin, shared insights and personal recommendations. A perfect way to get your bearings in Sydney! Highlights included an Aboriginal-owned bakery, Sydney Hospital, Sydney’s least-accurate statue, and street art. We ended up at a microbrewery on the waterfront staring at the Sydney Harbour Bridge and drinking a local pale ale. Perfect. Small group, smart guide, big adventure. Don’t miss this one!read moreread less
- Rash Gil29/03/2024Michael was so knowledgeable and passionate about bout the area and his career. There were many interesting geographical topics brought up within our group and he was able to navigate each one with ease. It was important that I went on a tour that gave a history to all aspects of Sydney/Australia so I appreciated how he was able to incorporate a little of everything and customize the experience based on our audience.read moreread less

Note, I had set in my mind to leave the event early, but Mitch was so inviting, and protective of his participants that he helped me relax and loose my fear of being in a big city all by myself. All of the sudden, I felt like – I was not alone; like e.g. I belonged to a group, part of the team, had friends, wasn’t solo He made sure we were all inclusive, and intrigued us with the stories and history of each fun place/pub/bar he studied and took us to. At the end of our alloted time, those who wanted to stay on, did so, but he had committed to ensure my safe passage back to the train station, so he escorted me safely there. This will be added to my fun experiences that I am pleased to have found on TripAdvisor. C. Bernotaread moreread less
- sval201424/03/2024Justin was a fabulous tour guide. Extremely smart and knowledgeable. He gave us a perfect overview of the city and its history. Clearly, he puts a lot of effort into his tours and is a great ambassador for the city of Sydney. He is almost like a host showing off his town! He is very kind and fielded questions with insight and aplomb.read moreread lessDreamer1700312623521/03/2024A great way to spend an afternoon. I live in Sydney, but Newtown is not a suburb I usually go to, so it was great to see it with a local guide who knew all the best street art and where to eat. She shared plenty of local stories with us too.
I’d say the tour is more about the art than the food, but the combination worked really well.read moreread less

He showed us historical buildings and explained Australia’s history with respect and knowledge We got to see the iconic new structures across the harbor such as the Opera House and Bridge. He supplied a welcome beer/cider at the end. It was 3 hours of walking so make sure you can handle that. We did well and loved every minute.read moreread lessTania28/03/2024Great Rocks Tour with Mitchell on Thursday night.
Nice history within the tour and extra insights from Mitchell’s knowledge as an added bonus.
Great international tour guests, 2 of whom were on their 3rd tour in a week, different locations for each tour.
Appreciated finding the out of the way bars that we wouldn’t have found ourselves.read moreread less - Geoff28/03/2024We joined Local Sauce’s Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour and it was awesome!

He was friendly and incredibly informative. Starting at Customs House, we learned about Sydney’s colonization and its impact on the indigenous Cadigal people. Michael provided diverse perspectives on Sydney’s development, making the tour perfect for newcomers and locals alike. Highly recommend for a deeper understanding of Sydney’s history and culture.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
