Good food, amazing stories and an interesting and interested guide, Bruce. Bruce has sparked an interest in further explorations of Sydney’s China town through his recommendations of other places to check out. Thanks Bruce and local sauce for a great day out!

We had a fantastic Chinatown Food Tour with Bruce and the other guide. It was great to learn more about the history, the markets, and Chinatown overall, and we also enjoyed tasting some incredible food. 🙌🏼

With a group of friends, I had the chance to experience the Chinatown food tour with Justin & Local Sauce Tours.
Absolutely great and recommended experience, filled with incredible flavours, fascinating stories, and genuine local insights you’d never discover on your own.
Justin’s passion, humour and deep knowledge of Sydney’s food scene made the tour both fun and informative, and every stop felt thoughtfully curated. We all left completely satisfied and culturally richer!
Highly recommended for locals and visitors!!

I recently did a Chinatown Street Food & Stories tour with Justin & Bruce from Local Sauce Tours. The food was incredible and just the right amount, we saw parts of Chinatown that I never knew existed, and OMG those dumplings were incredible!.

Highly recommend for anyone visiting Sydney

We did the Chinatown tour with Justin and Bruce. It was fantastic, just the right amount of information and food. They knew all of the hidden gems and the soup dumplings were definitely a highlight 😋

For years I have felt like I wouldn’t know where to start if I were to explore Chinatown but the tour on Sunday solved that!! The very knowledgeable guide Bruce not only showed us places to eat but his personal experiences of China and interest in the history of the country and it’s culture opened up a whole knew world for us to explore. New friends made among the fun bunch of like-minded Sydneysiders in our tour group rounded off the experience! We are all keen to try more of the tours on offer! 🙂

An absolutely fun tour with Steve who is highly knowledgeable, considerate, personable and has a ton of 1 liners to keep you chuckling! You come away with a real sense of Sydney’s history. Not to be missed!

I had an amazing walking tour with Michael today. What a great guy. He was so kind to take the time to really answer all of my nerdy questions, and he showed us areas of Sydney that I would have missed on my own. Sydney is a beautiful, vibrant city, and Michael did so much to improve my understanding of its history, art and people.

Steve provided great insights about Sydney, was incredibly knowledgeable and an excellent city guide!

Ari was great. Had a really good time. Thank you

Our guide, Andrew was the best. Showed us such fun, hidden bars I never knew as a local and that I will surely go to on my own. Delicious drinks (and food), met cool, friendly people on the tour, had great conversation with them. Thank you, Andrew for such a fun night and making me love my city of Sydney even more. Highly recommend whether you’re a tourist or local!

Fabulous tour, extremely informative!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Matt! It was extensive, interesting and very varied. Absolutely recommend!

Great service and great experience visiting Darlinghurst with the gorgeous Kiama Blowhole!

Great experience! We’ve been to Chinatown so many times but learned a lot in this tour. Bruce the guide was full of knowledge and shared a lot not only about the local Chinese community but about the history, geography, and culture of the original Chinese cuisines. The food samples were great and accommodated for many restrictions. Wonderful three hours that left us feeling like we now understand a lot more and want to experience more. Highly recommended!

Great guides and great places, really enjoyed it. Just be mindful if you only drink spirits, the free drink does not include any spirits. All the people in the group were great.

Great tour, amazing food options and street art. Andrew was a great guide! Would definitely recommend.

Andrew was a great tour guide!

Fun and interesting tour, well curated, enjoyed the street art and food and learned a lot about the neighborhood, highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing and informative tour. Very pleasant walk through beautiful places. Great way to enjoy this beautiful city.

We 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!

I had a great time on the walking tour. Our guide Matt was amazing and very knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable and learned a lot. I would definitely do this tour again and highly recommend it to everyone.

Bruce was very interesting explaining all the different Chinese cooking styles. Our samples were far from the “normal” Chinese restos in the USA.

The tour was great, we learn a little about Australia’s 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 Squire’s Landing Restaurant! It was a remarkable experience for us.

Steve 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!

Thanks Steve for a very entertaining and informative tour. We went on our first day in Sydney and it was a great introduction to the history of the city. If you get Steve, watch out for his terrible jokes!

A great introduction to a fabulous city! Thank you for a grand afternoon!

Bruce 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.

Super kurzweilige Tour. Justin weiss so viel über die verschiedenen Regionen Chinas und weiss dies sehr spannend zu erzählen. Gut ausgewählte Stops. Super Empfehlungen auch für nach der Tour. Würde jederzeit wieder buchen.

Matt was great! He was professional and friendly! He engaged as much as he can with the group! He included some fun fact and history at each stop. The tour was well paced! My family enjoyed it!

Great local tour of Newtown neighborhood in Sydney, with great food. A good opportunity to see some of the characteristic neighborhoods in the city.

Our 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.

From 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!

Sydney has so many wonderful and charming bars.I’m truly grateful to our guide Ari, who showed us so many great places and shared such a fun time with us.Ari is a warm, kind-hearted, and passionate guide who genuinely enjoys this job and spreads a positive energy that makes everyone feel happy and comfortable.Thanks to Ari, we drank, laughed, and enjoyed ourselves so much that I ended up getting completely tipsy!I sincerely hope Ari’s liver stays strong and healthy.Thank you so much

We had an awesome time with Ari, the bars were amazing and we would never have found them if we hadn’t gone on this tour. We met some wonderful people and we all enjoyed our time together. I recommend going on this tour , it gives you a lot of great bars to visit but also amazing places to explore and places to eat.

We booked a private walking tour of Sydney for two couples. Our guide, Steve, met us in our hotel lobby which was nice as we had just arrived that day from a long overseas flight. Steve was personable, knowledgeable, and gave us a wonderful overview of Sydney during our 3 1/2 hour tour. We appreciated Steve’s enthusiasm and insider’s view of Sydney! Highly recommend!

Justin was great, very knowledgeable and showed us some important art, talked about the history of Sydney and ended at the perfect spot for drinks and food

I was happy to get a lot of bright energy.
I didn’t know that a bar tour was such an attractive program.
It was such a happy time!

Good night out – nice way to meet people if you’re travelling solo!

Loved our tour with Sas! She was friendly and made everyone feel at ease immediately. Sas has great knowledge about Brisbane and we enjoyed learning some of the history of the city and seeing sites we otherwise would have missed. Tour goes at a good pace, keeps things moving but you never feel rushed or hurried. Great beginning to our stay in Brisbane!

Steve was our guide.. accommodating, funny, relaxed and extremely knowledgeable. Plenty of facts.. historic and present. A sure bet in SYDNEY

The ultimate tour of Sydney was an extremely good tour. We were led by Steve who shared the fascinating history of Sydney in an engaging way. He is a great storyteller and uses his wonderful sense of humor, which makes for a fascinating and informational tour. He is truly proud of his Australian heritage and brings to life the stories of Australia’s colorful characters. Steve was also very thoughtful about keeping us in shaded areas while he stopped and informed us of the places we were visiting. We highly recommend this tour with Steve.

Claudia was so much fun! She tailored the experience to us and it felt like a girls night out! We went to places we wouldn’t have found on our own.

This was an excellent tour! Bruce was welcoming and knowledgeable. Not only did I eat great food, I also learned about the history of Sydney’s Chinatown and of Chinese people in Australia more broadly. Highly recommend!

We’ve had a great tour with Tom and learned a lot about the city. Highly recommend

A good way to learn about Sydney’s history. We had a great guide, and I liked the smaller group size.

I recommend Justin’s visit to anyone who wants a quick, hassle-free and fun excursion. I was solo in Sydney and it was an opportunity to discover Newtown, this incredible neighborhood that is 100% alive. Without this excursion, I would have missed it. Justine is a friendly and cheerful guide who knows her subject well. The tour is very well designed.

Woooo hooo! Today’s tour was fabulous. Loved the opportunity to get to know China town and the hidden gems of where to go and what to eat. We learned SO much. Bruce, our guide, had immense knowledge of the food, Sydney, history , politics and art. Really a remarkably special experience. Cannot recommend more highly. We already went back for more dumplings!!!

Great walking tour . Steve was great ,very knowledgeable and informative. Great start to our Sydney holiday. Highly recommend.

Matt gave us a very interesting tour through Sydney. It was a great way to learn more about the place we were staying, its dark history, and the culture. The tour was extensive and followed a chronological path. We got some great tips for where to eat and which museums to visit!

It’s been the most wonderful night I had in Sydney, even if you don’t like to drink, but you should definitely join this tour, you’ll get to see the modern history of Sydney. Food and drink are always good representative for culture, that’s how it was presented in this tour.

Great walking tour with a knowledgeable guide. Fun & informative!

We had a great time on our tour with Michael! He was very knowledgable and it was a great way to kick off our visit to Sydney.

Justin was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and appreciated his effort to accommodate everyone’s interests. Great intro to city of Sydney!

Tom was an amazing guide who was very interesting & had fantastic historical knowledge of Brisbane. His passion for Brisbane shone through. He answered all our questions thoroughly he was very interactive and funny & very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Tom.

We had Saskia as a guide. It was a blast seeing the street art and visiting some great bars along the way. A very enjoyable evening spent in great company.

Our guide Saskia was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic – the whole tour was a fun learning experience. I would recommend to anyone who wants to know about the history of Brisbane.

Loved this tour. Was great to meet new people in some great bars. Small group, no one is asked to introduce themselves so it isn’t confronting for people that are shy. Though no one is shy after a few drinks. Highly recommended!!

Excelente tour, Justin un genio! Todo muy bien explicado que no era necesario ni preguntar. 10 puntos!

This was such a great almost 4 hour walking tour from start to finish. The itinerary was packed in the best possible way—every stop felt worthwhile, well‑timed, 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.

We 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.

Tom was a brilliant guide! We learned so much about Brisbane Street art, the history of art in the city and a bit of general history too! The Thursday night route is brilliant and the small bars they bring you to are absolutely fantastic. Well worth the money!

Really interesting insight. Thought some of content mat be a bit dry but was really interesting and great anecdotes. Matt is a great guide.

Justin was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Ari was amazing, the bars were great and loved meeting new people

The guide was great and very knowledgeable about the history of the city.

Great tour of the city. Our guide was fantastic – very knowledgeable & we covered all the major historical landmarks of Sydney. The drink at the end of the tour was most welcome😁

Michael is an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge and insight. He is attentive and answers to all our questions. We have learned so much from him!

Our tour guide Justin was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the food choices.

I 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 😉

Jake had a bunge of information about the history of Sydney. I love it to start exploring an unknown City with such a tour. Very appreciated been part of the tour.

all was great!
