The secret bar and stories tour was amazing . Jake was the best . A great mixture of history and making history . In fact , Jake may have even saved a woman’s life ! True story. If you want a tour that’s like having drinks with a friend … this is the tour.

The tour was great and Andrew was fantastic.

Let me start off by saying, I’ve never written a review before this and w that being said-Jake merits this and more. This review is mainly, almost solely, based on him (Sydney bars were cool too though). Jake’s personable, informative, even quite charming, and that made the experience what it was, amazing. I saw this man put out a fire on some Aussie lady’s head, explained Australian government/culture and simultaneously handed me drinks. In short, like most things in life-experiences are always better with good company and Jake is that and more.

Jake was great! Very down to earth and good hospitality.

Loved our tour! Great insight into Sydney’s Chinatown and its history. Roger was a fantastic tour guide, I highly recommend Local Sauce

Fantastic walking tour through key parts of Sydney. Matt was spectacular to chat with a fantastic guide through the entire thing.

We did three Local Sauce tours while in Sydney – the bar tour, food tour, and the city tour. Each was an excellently done. The guides were informative and fun. We learned so much about Australia and were able to get recommendations or things to do for the rest of our stay.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a wonderful time on the Chinatown tour! It was a great way to discover Sydney’s history, culture, and delicious food.

Richard was an amazing guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and very passionate. He made the tour fun and interesting from beginning to end.

Highly recommended! Thank you, Richard, for such a lovely experience! 😊🥟❤️

Great experience. Michael is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting tidbits about the area. Would recommend for those who want to learn more about the history of Sydney.

Great walking tour. Michael was very informative and patient with all the questions. We have a great time. Would recommend this strongly.

Michael is a great tour guide. Learned a lot about Sydney and its architecture

The food choices were absolute bosh and the tour was well planned out. Cheers to Richard for answering my questions about travelling, I’d love to get a beer with him sometime!

Andrew was absolutely amazing! He was patient, kind and knowledgeable as he took us through some wonderf! sites. Had a great time!! Highly reccomend this tour pespecially if it’s your first time in Sydney!

We had a great tour of the Sydney central business district and more. Our guide Steve was awesome. He told us a lot about history and the landmarks around us. But that wasn’t all of it. We learned and saw birds and artwork and other unique things in Sydney. It’s a tour worth booking. Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and you will have a great time.

It was an amazing tour! Andrew is very nice, informative and knowledgeable. We visited major areas in Sydney. Really recommend this tour.

We had a great informative tour with Andrew. He was very kind and accommodative. We enjoyed the tour so much. Thank you

This is a perfect tour to see many of the city’s highlights efficiently. Jake was an awesome guide – knowledgeable, personable, and I really appreciated how well he acknowledged the marginalization of the aboriginals. Our smaller group lent itself well to a more personal experience and easy to navigate crowded streets and hidden pathways. Well worth the price! Book directly with Local Sauce for a free coffee on the tour!

Jake was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Great tour.

Matt was very friendly and informative. Loved the history knowledge of Sydney. Matt even has ties to where we live. He made it a very personalized experience for us. Would recommend it to any foodies out there.

Justin, our tour guide was knowledgeable and helped educate us on the best spots for the best Chinese cuisine. We had a great time. We learned about the area while trying delicious foods!

Had an excellent food tour in Chinatown. Within 3 hours, we tried a variety of foods which were all delicious and learned about the history of the area. Even though it was a walking tour, the walking area was relatively flat with short walks between the different eateries. Justin was very friendly, made sure we were fine at all times and gave lots of helpful tips on where to eat and activities to do while in Sydney. This is certainly a tour for someone looking to explore the amazing food scene in Sydney!!

Eddie was a fantastic tour guide, shared stories about Surry Hills and Oxford Street in an entertaining way, and was very engaging. Absolutely recommend this tour whether you’re just passing through or have moved to Sydney. Will be back to these bars as well!

Justin was a great guide. Super flexible when he discovered we had already visited a location on the tour. Provided us with history, culture and other suggestions to further experience Sydney. Thanks for a great afternoon!

I live in the inner west, so secretly wondered what new and exciting places Justin could show me on this tour. I need not have worried, as this tour took me to see amazing places I’d never have found if not guided by Local Sauce. This is history, art, street grit, amazing food and company all rolled into one. I can’t think of a better way to spend 3 hours on the weekend in the inner west of Sydney than doing this tour. @rebecca_foreman

Merci a Andrew super guide qui parle couramment le français bravo 👍 Une visite de Sydney très riche et convivial en famille Nous recommandons a faire

Great way to see beautiful Sydney. Our family enjoyed our small group tour of 4 people with Michael, who is patient and kind. The meeting point at Customs House was very convenient for us. The pace was pretty leisurely and the tour was interesting!

We were the only ones signed up for this tour so it was a ‘private’ tour for us. Roger, our tour guide was punctual, informative, and professional. We are both Chinese Canadian from Vancouver, BC, Canada and grew up eating a lot of different Chinese cuisine. We never appreciated where foods originated from China. This tour put 2+2 together. We enjoyed a taste of these familiar foods. We also liked hearing how Chinese immigrants struggled in the early 20th century in Sydney and how Chinatown was established. This tour is a little off the beaten path, but if you are interested in food and or history, you should take this tour. Travel tip: You should be full after this tour, but if not, visit Paddy’s Markets/Hay Market food stalls next to Chinatown.

Great tour! Well worth the money ✌️

Best way to meet new people!! Claudia was amazing she was so welcoming!! She explained everything, and even got us drinks later which was amazing. I would recommend to anyone who wants to experience a Sydney night life, and meet new people.

Justin is the best guide ever. The tour was amazing. There was a lot of history shared, we discovered hidden bars which were disguised so well and Justin was there warm, kind and full of facts about Sydneys past.

It was a good decision to take the tour as a first timer in Sydney. It was a convenient way to explore without losing so much time. I got to identify places I wanted to visit after. Matt, our tour guide was funny and energetic. The walk did not feel 4 hrs with how he engaged and managed our group. I just found the price a bit steep.

Excellent walking tour of Sydney. Very informative. Andrew was an excellent guide. Highly recommended.

Great tour. Great tour guide, Great tour company. I loved this tour. I believe it would be hard to beat local Source tours I’m from Sydney, live close by, yet still were introduced to great new bars and food venues!!

Enjoyed the tour conducted by Eddie very much! Eddie was entertaining, humourous, and did well with helping the group break the ice, which I thought was really important for such a tour. Would recommend and would definitely try out the other tours they conduct 🙂

Excellent tour. Our guide, Steve, was exceptional. Knew his history and was really funny. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the city and learning about how special Sydney is. We even got to see a kookaburra in the botanic garden.

Such a great way to get to know Sydney and it’s history!!! Loved it! Matt was super knowledgeable and time flew! Highly recommend 🤩

This was such a fun bar crawl. We got to go to some cool places that I never would have noticed just walking down the street. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Sydney.

Absolutely amazing experience! Excellent atmosphere, loads of interesting information. Our tour guide Justin did an incredible job making everyone feel welcome. All the hidden bars we visited you would never find on your own or bare minimum oversee when walking by. If you only had one thing to do in Sydney this is hands down the best experience. Worth every singly penny! Highly recommend!

Fantastic walking tour with Matt! Lots of great facts and stops along the way and also nice to do it in a small group.

The experience was so good, also with food exploration understood a bit of history. The event was fun. Would definitely recommend! A big thanks to Richard. He is so welcoming and did the entire tour on a fun note.

Had an awesome time with Steve on this tour! He was extremely knowledgeable on the history and had plenty of fun facts to offer as we took in the sights on our walk. Highly recommend.

Great tour, lots of stories with beautiful street art, interspersed with wonderful tastings. Expert and friendly guide, in short, recommended!

Colour & Meaning FUL experience. Tasty places makes this walking tour in Newtown unforgettable

We left after 2 bars because it was boring.

Despite the bad weather, we truly enjoyed everything about this tour. The history, culture, detail discoveries hidden all over this experience’s trail – and witty anecdotes from Steve is worth dedicating Sydney time for. The best way to appreciate Australia from the lens of its rich and resilient past, relevant sentiments from the present and what will for sure be an even promising future. The 3+ hours we spent with Steve felt very comfortable and as familiar as being with a friend☺️

Andrew was a great guide, and it was a wonderful group of locals and travelers. We really enjoyed the experience and meeting everyone!

My husband and I loved our tour with Roger! We appreciated the selection of dishes from different regions of China/Taiwan sampled from restaurants we wouldn’t have otherwise thought to stop in. I am pescatarian and appreciated how accommodating the tour was of my dietary restrictions. While this was a food tour, we also enjoyed learning about the art and history of Chinatown and the Chinese in Australia. Roger was engaging, knowledgeable, and informative. Highly recommend!

If you love history, you will definitely love this tour. It was so detailed and informative. I learned so much about Australia and Sydney. The tour takes you around some historic parts of the city. I think this is a must do for all tourists.

We had a great time seeing different places with Eddie and the other guests. Thanks for a well organised tour.

We had a great time! Eddie did a fantastic job of taking us to cool and unusual places with interesting facts thrown in. He made sure we were comfortable and having a good time. Definitely would recommend!

Eddie is a LEGAND.
I did the tour 7 years ago and was in awe how incredible it still is re-vamped and just as memorable.
It is a must do if you are visiting Sydney!!

This tour was an absolute blast! Our host Steve was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed his friendly demeanor. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and informative experience.

We were hosted by Eddie, a warm and jovial person, leading our group from one establishment to the next with remarkable enthusiasm. His warmth and genial manner transformed an ordinary evening into a truly memorable occasion.
Many thanks again to him.

This was a good walking tour to understand Brisbane’s history and a general overview. Tom was friendly and gave myself and the others a lot of information. Even if you’re in Brisbane for a day, it’s a worth while tour because you can retrace your steps afterwards.

This was a fascinating, off the beaten path tour. The food was delicious and I’d recommend it highly to folks who are interested in an aspect of the Australian experience that is not necessarily a part of every tour package itinerary. My kids enjoyed and tried quite a few new foods they never would have otherwise. Thank you!

Roger was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgable and the food was enjoyable showcasing different regions of China.

Tom was a fantastic tour guide! He’s very knowledgeable and passionate about Brisbane and its history. Definitely recommend if you’re in Brisbane!

Excellent tour discussing the history of Sydney and Australia. I am so thankful that Local Sauce doesn’t cancel if there’s only one person booked. I learned a lot from Steve, my guide, and appreciated all the information and jokes.

A wonderful three hours were spent with Saskia. Very informative. One of the best walking tours I’ve done. Highly recommended.

I had a great time at the tour! Tom was a wonderful guide, he took us to hidden, interesting locations, gave some good recommendations and told many stories. Highly recommended!

A wonderful tour with both history and current insightful information that brings Brisbane to life.

Absolutely loved this walking tour of the city, I learned so much and our guide, Matt, was perfect. This is a must do to immerse yourself into the area.

We had a great time with Richard and a lovely small group. It was such an interesting tour with great good! We never would have tried the food or explored the area in such detail had we done it on our own.

Ryan was very educational, informative and funny. My daughter and I learnt a lot about the history, art and interesting facts of Brisbane. We live locally and learnt a lot of things we didn’t know.

Ich habe Dank Steve einige Einblicke in Sydney erhalten. Die Tour war zwar mit 3,5 h sehr lang und man sollte sich bewusst sein, dass man viel laufen wird, aber für die unterschiedlichen Einblicke war es das auf jeden Fall Wert. Steve hat durch seine Fragen und Witze das ganze sehr gut aufgelockert.

Absolutely amazing! Roger was a great guide, loads of hidden gems. Would definitely recommend as a must do in Sydney!!!

Tour was good overall. Felt it could have been more structured in terms of heating the story of Brisbane in chronological order. It felt a bit random. However, our guide Tom was really nice and friendly and had a wealth of information to share.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The content and history covered were thoughtfully curated and delivered with genuine passion and enthusiasm. We especially appreciated the small details, such as Matt remembering everyone’s names and taking the time to engage with each person individually. He made an effort to get to know us, which added a personal touch to the experience. Matt’s passion for what he does truly shines through, and I cannot imagine a better person to guide you through Sydney’s history, culture, and stories. His knowledge and storytelling made the tour both informative and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sydney. I’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for other tours offered by Local Sauce in destinations I travel to in the future.

Great

Awesome day. Richard was incredibly enthusiastic and his energy rubbed off on all the group. The food was great, topped off by the nicest dumplings we ever had. Also an insightful history overview of Chinatown past and present. Hugely enjoyable experience 😀😀

Steve our tour guide was great. Very friendly and informative. Told some bad jokes though! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour.

Tour was very informative. We felt like we learned a lot and were able to cover a lot of area. Matt was a great guide!
