The street art and food were great ways to learn about Newtown and the area. Didn’t feel too touristy, and we were shown some really cool places along the way for food and drink.

Justin ist nicht nur unterhaltsam und abwechslungsreich, sonder gat ein super Hintergrundwissen, vor allem in Geschichte und Bauwerken, und dies gewürzt mit Anekdoten vorgetragen. Er beherrscht auch die Kunst, einen Überblick zu geben und trotzdem Dir Spannung zu erhalten. Und die sehr unterschiedlichen Highlights sowohl erzählerisch zu verbinden als auch durch geschickte Abkürzungen und Passagen vor Ort. Auch zwischendurch hatte er auf fast jede Frage eine Antwort. Schon fast liebevoll setzt er sich für die australischen Ureinwohner und führt an versteckte Orte, wo man Aborigines Spezialitäten verkosten kann up d gleichzeitig noch etwas für die Community tut. Die Bierrunde am Schluss ist auch für Nichtbiertrinker wie mich ein Highlight, man fühlt sich schon fast wie ein Sydneysider, der mit Freunden unterwegs ist. Obwohl Justin gar keiner ist, sondern aus Brisbane stammt. Aber manchmal haben Menschen von außen, besonders nach 10 Jahren, den besten Blick auf ihre Stadt.

FYI, depending on the day of the week, Justin will take you to a different bar locations, I’ve taken the Saturday tour. there was a person in our team that took all of the days and said it’s worth checking it out a few times on different days. you also get a different crowd.

From the moment I met our enthusiastic guide, Andrew, his passion for Sydney’s history and culture shone through, making the tour engaging and informative. The tour provides a great overview of Sydney. We explored iconic landmarks like the Sydney Customs House, Museum of Sydney, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, Hyde Park, QVB, the Strand Arcade, and the historic Rocks district with insightful commentary that added depth to each location. The tour ended at Campbells Cove with a fantastic lookout for the stunning Sydney Opera House and the majestic Sydney Harbour Bridge. Andrew also shared valuable local recommendations, enhancing the overall experience.

He is always well-researched on the food and the places he takes us to – whether hidden drinking spots or China Town eateries, Newtown’s various delights, etc. But in August we joined his new tour requested by Fivedock to renew interest following severe disruptions to its business street due to a new rail station being constructed. This is part of Sydney’s inner west noted for its Italian food – from a butchery the owner of which is the 13th generation of the family to take up this skill – and what an amazing person and business. There was a delicatessen, a cafeteria (coffees, hot chocolates), a pasticceria – and a gelateria, too. Every business traced its foundations back into Italy (including the gelato of Sicilian provenance. Authentic, in other words. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it all thanks to Justin and his thorough preparation and general bonhomie not only with those on our tour but with the businesses which we visited – and though this review is written three months later and from Salt Lake City – we remember it with much enjoyment. read lessElizabeth H04/11/2023 – TripAdvisorWe had a great tour with Justin of Newtown and the street art!

We had been in the CBD for a couple of days prior, but never saw the several sidelanes, tiny architecture, great eateries that John pointed out to us – and all with better perspective, history included. Thanks John for a wonderful tour of the city! read less

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 less
- Kate Chen14/12/2019 – FacebookJustin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 lessBen Ridding11/12/2019 – Facebook5 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 less - Sarah Ann12/04/2019 – FacebookI went on Justin’s secret city bar crawl tour in Sydney with a friend.
