We had a wonderfully informative 4 hours with Michael. This was our first trip to Sydney and it was an amazing way to learn about the history of this city. He also gave us ideas of other trips for our stay. Well worth the value. Thank you.

Best Local Bar Crawl Experience! Our bar crawl was an unforgettable journey through Sydney’s finest bars, and Daniel, our host, made it truly exceptional. With his background as an ex-bartender and a local history tour guide, he added a rich layer of storytelling, sharing fascinating historical insights about Sydney’s streets. Daniel’s recommendations for local drinks and food were spot on, making the experience both authentic and flavorful. Beyond the bars, the camaraderie among the group was incredible—we made amazing connections with fellow participants, which added to the overall enjoyment. If you’re visiting Sydney, this bar crawl is an absolute must-try. It’s the perfect way to explore the city’s vibrant nightlife and immerse yourself in its history and culture.

Do the tour. You’ll learn heaps and if you’re lucky, you’ll have Steve as your guide. He’s awesome and made it a super enjoyable day.

My husband a I recently participated in Local Sauce Tours – 3.5 hour walking tour of Sydney. Daniel was our tour guide and we were impressed by his knowledge, passion and overall interest in Sydneys colonial and indigenous history. Daniel was engaging and an experienced tour guide who created a fun and riveting experience for all. Having previously lived in Sydney for 26 years, I learned more about my city’s history and our early culture on this tour, compared to the information or disinformation I was taught on this topic throughout my schooling years. A must for local Sydneysiders, Australians in general, and for any visitors with a quest for knowledge on Australia’s history. A 10/10 experience for us. Thank you Daniel.

Thanks Bunny for the great food tour. First time tasting a lot of these different Chinese dishes. The soup dumplings were awesome.

For our team Christmas party, we took the Chinatown Tour – Street Food & Stories. Justin took us on an informative, emotional and tasty journey. It’s often said that when living in a city, you don’t get the opportunities to appreciate the history and culture. Thanks to Local Sauce Tours providing a enjoyable reminder of just how amazing our own backyards are.

This is the first time we are visiting Sydney. We signed up for Ultimate Walking Tour. Our tour guide Michael is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He made sure everyone in the group was taken care of. We had a good time and learned quite bit of history during this three and half hour tour from Michael.

We learned so much history, particularly about the political/social issues involving the Australian indigenous people. Michael had such interesting stories. He is not afraid to talk about race.

Dan was great. Really knew his stuff. If you’re interested in history this tour is for you.

Last week I went to the Fujifilm Foodtography tour with host Justin. It was an amazing experience, touring and tasting from 5 restaurants in Newtown, Justin also gave us information on mural art that’s heavily featured all around the suburb, along with the restaurants and their history. Would definitely recommend

Refugee Chef Dinner Banquet – what a wonderful initiative! We (6 people) ate like queens and enjoyed the community seating, to speak with others we usually wouldn’t have. Absolutely recommend it! Thank you to Nisha & co (can’t remember specific names, sorry, but you were excellent hosts!). My only suggestion is to bring a little more education into the evening, about the particular refugees, their culture, language, situation etc. Perhaps we could all learn to say ‘thank you’ in their language for when they come out? Anyway, loved it, so thank you!

Fun way to try different restaurants and explore the city

Enjoyed our Sydney Walking Tour with Steve. He was very knowledgeable and offered us great recommendations. Highly recommend!

Melinda was a lovely tour guide and the Organisation of the tour was flawless. The art and Melinda’s knowledge were impressive and the food spots we tried are on my new favorites list. All in all a great experience!!

Steve is a legend. Might have to do the tour again.

Fantastic experience for locals and visitors. Had the best afternoon with Justin. He showed my husband and I the sights of Newtown & Enmore as never seen before (at least not by us) and explained the cool backgrounds of all the graffiti. We discussed themes and the history of the images brought to life. This is a tour any age group can enjoy as long as you can walk or roll. We sampled some amazing pies (meat, vego & vegan), vegan mexican, Turkish icecream, Egyptian falafels made to order and a beer at Young Henry’s. My ideal day out!!! Sydneysiders really need to go on this tour.

Did the tour in Newtown and loved it so much I booked a hostel in the area for the next night. Your guide was just amazing, very knowledgeable and lovely guy. I must say I loved it and will be booking another tour with you soon, highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our Sydney walking tour with Steve. It was engaging, entertaining and packed with interesting information about the city. I highly recommend it

We are Sydney locals but what a unique way to spend a Sunday afternoon, discovering Newtown’s street art (old and new) and sampling a heap of new eateries/restaurants. Justin our guide was awesome, with lots of great conversation and back stories. Would highly recommend to locals and visitors, great value for money and something a bit different!

We had a very knowledgeable guide. Walking was not too much ( but some). We returned to some of the places we passed by. We really enjoyed the free museum that was in the building that housed convicts that was designed by a convict. They gave you headphones that explained the history and artifacts in the museum.

Our tour guide was Michael and he was amazing! He did such a good job explaining everything and answering the groups’ questions. This tour is a great option if you’re looking to get a snapshot of Sydney with some historic background and find some hidden gems. Highly recommend and it was one of the highlights of our trip! If you do this tour, see if you can be in Michael’s group- he really leveled the tour up.

What a great tour! Steve gave us an incredible amount of information in the 3 hours that we walked around Sydney. His local knowledge was extremely helpful in planning the rest of our stay. Great sense of humor and very interesting to listen to. Three hours went by in a flash! Thanks Steve!

We had a great tour with Daniel who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all subjects. Appreciated the drink at the end that allowed time for a chat with the group.

Steve was an excellent guide. He was very informative and funny and we learned a lot about the cities history and interesting quirks it had to offer that people would normally miss. We would definitely recommend. He even took us to a lovely local bar at the end with a view of the bridge and opera house which was a lovely way to end the tour.

Steve took us on a great walking tour all around Sydney. We saw places we would never see on our own and he was engaging and insightful throughout. A great way to learn the history and culture of a beautiful city.

This tour was great, we had Daniel as a guide and he told us a lot of history and background to every bar we visited. And all of the bars were great. Recommend this tour

Whole family (inc two 11yr kids) loved this experience! Easy walking, interesting history and delicious tastings. We’ve already return to 3 of the food stalls for more! Highly recommend this tour, one of our highlights in Sydney.

Justin and Steve co-hosted as guides on this tour. Personable, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Great tour. Well worth doing. Glad we did it early in our stay as we learned a lot that enhanced the rest of our stay.
Steve was an awesome storyteller and Justin was great at the facts. Perfect balance. We covered a lot of ground and they kept us engaged through out the 3.5 hours. History, culture, art, architecture a bit of everything And recommendations that we went back to and explored deeper over the rest of our stay. Lovely finish up at the end at an Oceanside bar for a wee drink as well.
This is a professional, well thought out tour with guides that care about the people they take on tour. They kept the group small, which was awesome. Made sure we were comfortable, answered questions along the way, and offered personal recommendations for follow up. P.s. thanks for the book recommendations, Steve. Much appreciated!

We had a fantastic tour with Daniel. He is a very passionate guide who shared the history of Sydney in an interesting and informative way. We saw many historical buildings, learned about the early days in Sydney, saw cool street art and the gorgeous botanical gardens.

Our tour was a great introduction to Sydney and we had a fabulous time with the group over a beer at the end. Highly recommended.

I did the walking tour with Daniel, and I must say this was probably the best walking tour I had so far. Daniel was so knowledgeable and connected the places we visited with actual stories and people from history. It was fun and enlightening at the same time. And of course as a local he had great hints on which places to go and which to avoid. Really worthwhile and highly recommendable. Thanks!

Steve was wonderful and very entertaining! Loved the jokes along the way. 3 1/2 hours went by in a flash! Steve loves his hometown and it shows, he is very passionate. His knowledge of Sydney is amazing and was very enjoyable. If all of the other guides are like Steve, then you can’t go wrong! Thanks for the wonderful tour Steve! Brock & Mary from Michigan

Such an enjoyable tour, Justin was very informative and I learned so much of the area I had never seen or experienced before despite living here.

Great food tour, good food and pretty art, and overall good vibes. Lived in Sydney my whole life and walked streets in Newtown I’d never seen before. Justin’s a great tour guide, knows his food and history

I loved the experience of touring Sydney’s most iconic bars with the group and our tour guide Eddie was exceptional, he’s tremendously kind, generous and showed us so many secret bars Sydney got to offer and as a tourist I loved every minutes of it.

Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable, entertaining, considerate and genuine. He was aware of his audience and adjusted accordingly.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot – the time flew.

This tour made for a good introduction to Sydney. Guide Daniel did a great job sharing the history of Sydney and showing our small group around town.

It was actually Michael, to give credit where it’s due. It was a terrific experience. Michael knew a ton, seemed genuinely enthusiastic about Sydney, Australia, and the history. He also seemed present and all in to making it a great experience.

Great experience! I’m a solo traveler so the tour was a great opportunity to go out, meet people and discover cool bars in Sydney! Nihar did a great job picking locations, it was well organized and the group super nice!

We learned so much history, particularly about the political/social issues involving the Australian indigenous people. Michael had such interesting stories. He is not afraid to talk about race.

Had a grrat experience on this tour with our toddler (2) and infant (8 mo). The places we stopped at were delicious, of all different ethnicities and so cool to add seeing some amazing art on top of it all

Jan-Andrew was our tour guide for the experience. He’s a made the tour fun and a great experience. I highly recommend the tour if your looking to learn Australian history. I suggest doing the tour the first or second day when getting to Brisbane. It will help you learn about the city and neighborhoods, and how to get & move around the city.

This was the second tour we’ve done with Justin, and it did not disappoint. It was a fantastic way to meet some cool people, learn a little about Sydney, and explore hidden gems of bars that there’s no way I would have been able to find on my own. Would highly recommend!

I would have never discover this kind for bars on my own. So classy, so calm, and an amazing environment. I could recommend it for everyone visiting the city. For couples or big groups, or for people go want to have a great time and meet some please.
I was afraid it was going to be to much party and clubing. But just the opposite. I had a great time and meet some need people.
If i am back in Sydney, I will repeat the experience

We loved the tour! It was so fun, informative, and a good length! The group size was perfect, I would recommend this tour to anyone. Our tour guide Michael was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable!

Our tour guide, Jack, was amazing! I’ve never been on a bar crawl before and I’m not a big drinker so I was really nervous about going. However, the locations chosen, Jack’s knowledge and my group made for an awesome experience that I’ll always remember!

Had a good time on the Tuesday pub crawl, had 10 people show up, all tourists, mostly in our 30s. Justin shared some of the history of the bars and areas we went to. Each bar had its own specialty (gin, mezcal, Vietnamese, etc).

Michael did a great job moving us through the CBD and the Royal Botanical Garden. He shared the very beginnings of Sydney and what makes this a unique modern city.

What an interesting tour with many hidden gems. Justin’s interest in China, the Chinese language, Chinese food and the history of Chinatown is infectious.

Very knowable and fun

Great experience! Loved discovering Newtown and what better way to do it than through street art and delicious food!Justin knew all of the interesting stories around the art and managed to convey them perfectly!

It was a lovely morning spent with great people walking around the city and getting to know it better.
We should have done it as soon as we had arrived to Brisbane as it gave us the perfects to walk around later and other things to see and do.

We really enjoyed our Sydney walking tour with Steve! He’s a great storyteller and made sure to tell us all the interesting, not so well known stories about Sydney which is what made the tour really special. Thoroughly recommend!

As being cynical to think of a guide tour that to have a good route and overview of the city. But with Steve, a well travelled local Australian ex math teacher. He is not only have in-depth knowledge culture of his hometown, but also added a logic mind of the whole tour. It was efficient and fun.
His teammate Justin, alongside, accompanied the tour, made sure we were well guided as well as informative.
Their generosity in sharing the best parts of their city, including a taste of local beer at the end, made the tour both fun and memorable.
Highly recommended—it was definitely worth it!

Went on the walking tour on my first full day in Sydney. What a great way to see the city! Not only hitting the main points, but little spots I would have never thought to see. Steve was such an entertaining and informed guide. I had a great time and met some new friends! Will definitely be recommending!

Awesome 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!

Absolutely 10/10. Justin’s knowledge of Chinatown and it’s history is second to none. Recommend to all. Justin accepts parents nsw vouchers also, bonus!

Really fun night! Amazing to discover your own city and love Justin’s enthusiasm and ability to ensure everyone enjoys themselves

Such an amazing experience! I’ll recommend to everybody that is coming to Sydney! It’s amazing how Justin show a lot of hidden and amazing pubs! I really enjoyed!

An evening of cocktails, history and Sydney appreciation with great people. Justin’s enthusiasm for his hometown is contagious and sets the mood for a fun night with new cocktail loving friends from across the planet. Cannot recommend enough!

Aussie 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.

Justin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!

So fun. I wish had time for more.

5 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.

I 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!

Justin is a great guide and a charismatic and friendly guy. Would definitely recommend

Justin was amazing at helping me plan my travels around Australia. Friendly, honest and knowledgeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Informative, helpful, delightful service. Would recommend to anyone!
