About Us

The Local Sauce Tours Story
My name is Justin, I’m the guy with the “tour guide hands” in the photo. I started Local Sauce Tours back in 2018 after escaping a corporate law career. I realised that I was working around a lot of unhappy people and I thought, “I want to work in a more enjoyable industry – let’s try tourism!”
From starting with one walking tour on a Saturday morning offered on Airbnb Experiences, we’ve grown to offer a wide range of unique tours and experiences, led by a team of amazing hosts.
In 2022 and 2023, we were awarded Gold in the NSW Tourism Awards for Cultural Tourism. We’re also ranked #1 for all Tours & Activities in Sydney on TripAdvisor, so you’re making a great decision to explore Sydney with us.
What our tours are like
Our tours focus on showing guests around Sydney with an expert local, weaving in entertaining stories about the area while visiting excellent, independently-owned bars, restaurants and cafes.
We limit our group sizes on all of our tours to 12 people, as we’ve found this is the magic number for guests to meet each other, bond and have a fun time. If you’re visiting Sydney or travelling solo, you’ll probably meet people on the tour to hang out with while you’re here!
You’ll quickly discover that a tour with us is a little bit different to a regular one, as we focus on making it feel like you’re just in a group of new friends hanging out and enjoying themselves, with your host keeping everything flowing and telling you stories.


Our promise
We love having each and every guest along on our tours. Whether you’re visiting Sydney or a local looking for something new to do, we know that you can choose from a million other activities – but you chose to join one of our tours and hang out with us!
We take that commitment from you seriously and will do everything we can to give you an amazing experience and the best possible introduction to Sydney. We guarantee you’re going to love the Sydney that we show you so much, you’ll be asking “when’s the next tour?” and booking again with us!

- Tia Duck27/06/2025We loved our Chinatown tour with Justin today! Such great spots to visit that we wouldn’t have known about otherwise and very yummy food. The history was so interesting to hear about and our young daughter also enjoyed being immersed in such wonderful culture. We will be back for another tour very soon! Thankyou Justin.read moreread lessSamantha Tinkham27/06/2025What I liked most about the tour was Steve. He was prompt, knowledgeable (even when asked obscure questions), clever (seriously, a bottomless pit of ‘dad jokes’ about tour topics, psychology, History, maths, or just whatever conversation popped up), engaging, and entertaining. His suggestions for food, additional sources for information, etc were spot on. His impressions are top notch, sense of humor delightful, insight into regional/national/international Aussie views are historically based and hilarious (everyone are rivals and also get along).
I highly recommend Local Sauce in general (we took a tour with Justin as well in Chinatown), but especially if you want the nitty gritty regarding all things Sydney because Steve will not disappoint!read moreread lessGetYourGuide traveler27/06/2025What I liked most about the tour was Steve.

- Alex18/06/2025We had the best time with Justin in Newtown! He is incredibly knowledgeable of the area, and we were amazed at the variety and volume of restaurants and bars he pointed out and knew the history of.
It was really nice to have him as our guide because he already knew most of the bartenders and owners, which made the evening feel so personable.
We couldn’t recommend this enough, and would go on more of his tours if only we lived closer than Missouri, USA!
Also, the Turkish ice cream was the perfect way to end the night!read moreread lessIsabella C.16/06/2025The Newtown Food & Street Art Small Group Tour led by Andrew was amazing!

Great decision! It was such a lovely way to spend our Saturday morning. We started the tour with a hot drink (winning!!), organised by Justin – our awesome guide.
Our favourite stop was at the most incredible, 17th generation(!), butcher where we got to sample delicious house made sausages – simultaneously delighting us & ruining supermarket snags forever.
Justin made sure we all had a great experience – he looked after everyone & made sure we all had enough food. Don’t eat breakfast!! You won’t need it!!!
It was so lovely to see the rapport between Justin and the business owners, there’s genuine care & friendship there – It felt like sharing food with family.
