Kumi02/02/2026Loved 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!read moreread less
Donna01/02/2026The 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 Australiaโs 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.read moreread less
Maggie P26/01/2026Really fun, and got my steps in 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!read moreread less
Aurelie25/01/2026I 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.read moreread less
AngelGlaraga23/01/2026Excellent! It is what we expected. The tour was great, we learn a little about Australiaโs 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 Squireโs Landing Restaurant! It was a remarkable experience for us.read moreread less
MetroBob23/01/2026Outstanding introduction to Sydney 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!read moreread less
Fran I22/01/2026Hidden gems of Chinatown 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.read moreread less

Wenkun21/01/2026Itโs been the most wonderful night I had in Sydney, even if you donโt like to drink, but you should definitely join this tour, youโll get to see the modern history of Sydney.

Fran I21/01/2026Insight into Chinatown 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.read moreread less- Irit Alony19/01/2026Great 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!read moreread less

- Sarah Rylands16/01/2026Incredible tours especially if you’re a history nerd and foodie! Even if you’re neither, you’re guaranteed to have a great and informative experience with this company!! Highly recommend the Sydney China Town Tour, everyone who works there is incredibly familiar and friendly with the guides and in turn he shares an immense amount of knowledge and wisdom from food to history ๐read 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

ttbc106016/01/2026We 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.

Fiona17/01/2026Justin was terrific! He answered all our questions and made the tour very interesting and informative. He tailored the tour especially as he asked each one of us what we were interested in knowing. So much history!
After the tour he sat and gave us dining suggestions and answered so many questions we had about places to visit, etc.
This tour is really worth doing, especially if you are new to Australia. Thank you.read moreread less
Corey17/01/2026Decided to book a tour on a whim whilst visiting Sydney. Not something weโd normally do but decided it could be fun. Met a great people, visited some interesting establishments that all provided a variety of different alcoholic beverages. If it werenโt for the downpour and getting soaked travelling in between bars it wouldโve been even better hahaha no fault of the hosts obviously. Fun, informative night that Iโd recommend to anyone wanting to do something a little different in their free time. Thanks again guys โบ๏ธread 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 wayโevery stop felt worthwhile, wellโtimed, 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 less
- Lorinda12/01/2026We 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
- Anna20/12/2025I 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 ๐read moreread less
