- Diana Westhoff20/02/2026We took the Sydney Walking Tour with Steve and it was excellent. The 3.5 hours went fast and most importantly the history of this city is amazing. Steve did an excellent job and is born and raised here which makes it great. Thank you Steve. Diana and Robertread moreread less
Yue16/02/2026I had a wonderful time with my tour. We had a blast touring together. Our guide Michael has rich knowledge in local culture and history, gave us such a detailed introduction on some of the iconic streets and buildings in centre area. We walked, laughed and drank together. Highly recommend to people who are just in town, who interests in culture&history, and who enjoy walking around. Shout out to Michael and Justin, cheers!read moreread less

Yifei15/02/2026Andrew is such a polite and lovely guide! He made me understand street art on a whole new level, way better than wandering around aimlessly by myself. The local food he recommended was so authentic and full of Australian vibes. I had the best time and hope to meet him again soon!read moreread less- GetYourGuide traveler14/02/2026Steve hat die FĂźhrung sehr interessant gestaltet, humorvoll fĂźhrte er uns durch die StraĂen, Parks und Einkaufszentren. zum Abschluss ein gutes Bier am Hafen rundete die FĂźhrung gemĂźtlich ab.

- ryan peterson13/02/2026Steve was great! Very witty and informative. We learned things about Sydney that I would bet most of the locals donât even know!

- Vyvyanne Gilliland12/02/2026My husband, Steve, & I loved the Newtown Street Art & Food Walking Tour on our first evening in Sydney Australia. Justin S. & his trainee, Nick were excellent, charming guides. They shared history as well as amusing stories about street art & great food in Newtown.
Food included awesome Aussie meat pies at The Pie Tin, Turkish ice cream (always a favorite) at Hooked on Hakiki, delicious vegan Mexican tacos, Egyptian falafel wrapped in cucumber, & Young Henry’s brewery beverages. All Yummy!!! đĽ°
February 11, 2026read moreread lessCarla Sykora10/02/2026Took the city and the rocks walking tour today with Mat by Local Sauce. First the communication by Justin in advance of the tour was excellent. He was very communicative in timing and day and location. Mat our guide was born and raised in Sydney and was very personable. Lots of history explained to us and lots of stories. It was a small group and very manageable. Excellent tour and would highly recommend to anyone that wants an understanding of the history of Sydney and areas. Thanks Mat for a great day. Cheers from two Canadians.read moreread less
Maggie P26/01/2026We booked this walking tour of Sydney to provide an introduction to the city and to get moving after a very long flight. I would recommend for both those reasons. There was a lot to explore in Sydney, and Matt was an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend for the newly arrived!read moreread less
AngelGlaraga23/01/2026The tour was great, we learn a little about Australiaâs history and culture aside from seeing historical sites and landmarks in the beautiful and clean city of Sydney. What surprised us is that the complementary drinks were given to us by our guide Steve at The Squireâs Landing Restaurant! It was a remarkable experience for us.read moreread less
MetroBob23/01/2026Steve was a great guide! My wife and I had such a great time walking and experiencing so much of what Sydney had to offer. We made this tour our first experience after getting off the cruise ship and checking into our hotel. It proved to be an awesome way to very quickly be introduced to Sydney and what we could enjoy over the few days we would be there. Again, Steve was terrific!read moreread less
Fran I22/01/2026Bruce was a great guide. The pork and truffle were delicious and I went back for more the following night. He guided us to some hidden gems and different foods that I would not have associated with China. The history of chinatown and the area is also interesting. Highly recommended.read moreread less
Fran I21/01/2026Our guide, Bruce, was very knowledgeable and kept the group entertained. The history of Chinatown is interesting and we were guided to a number of food alleyways and outlets inside buildings that I wasn’t aware of. We also had styles of food that I wouldn’t normally associate with Chinese. The pork and truffle dumplings were to die for and I returned to have them for dinner the following day. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended.read moreread less
Jo T19/01/2026From the booking onwards the Local Sauce service and communication was professional, friendly and prompt. Information was clear and we all arrived at the meeting place anticipating a fun night despite the wet weather. Kiama was impossible to miss with her gorgeous red wig and huge smile! We all instantly felt warm and welcome in her company for the rest of the evening as we learnt about her community of interesting people and places in Darlinghurst over a few drinks!read moreread less

Highly recommend!read moreread less

- Laredo14/01/2026This was such a great almost 4 hour walking tour from start to finish. The itinerary was packed in the best possible wayâevery stop felt worthwhile, wellâtimed, 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 lessLorinda12/01/2026We 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 less
