Brisbane Launch of Local Sauce Tours’ Award-Winning Urban Culture Tours

Justin Steele - 25th Oct 2024

PRESS RELEASE

Brisbane boy, Justin Steele returns to his hometown to launch his award-winning cultural experiences by Local Sauce Tours from Saturday, 26 October. Showcasing the city’s nightlife, laneways, public art and lesser-known stories of Brisbane’s history, tours are designed to appeal to both locals and visitors.

Local Sauce Tours launched in Sydney in 2018 and, in a highly competitive market, quickly became one of Sydney’s leading experiences. Justin notably achieved: Gold Award for Cultural Tourism in the NSW Tourism Awards in 2022 and 2023; #1 ranking for ‘Tours in Sydney’ and ‘Sydney Nightlife’ on Tripadvisor; and more than 2,000 five-star online reviews.

“As a Brisbane native, I’m so excited to bring our brand of fun, youthful and informative small-group experiences to Brissie. The city has grown so much since I last lived here, with world-class small bars, a thriving street art scene and amazing public art making the city more vibrant for both visitors and locals. I’ve been sharing the stories of Sydney’s culture, history and art (and winning awards for it) for almost eight years, now it is time to put the spotlight on my hometown,” said Justin.

The two new Brisbane tours include:

Brisbane Small Bars & Street Art

Over three hours, guests will experience Brisbane’s vibrant nightlife, visiting three speakeasy style small bars, and discover the city’s incredible street art with an expert guide. The Thursday itinerary starts in the city and heads across to South Brisbane and West End. The slightly more bar focused itinerary on Saturday evenings stays in the city centre. See murals by some of Australia’s most famous and talented artists, and learn about street art culture.

Ultimate Brisbane Walking Tour

Ideal for visitors and locals who want to go deeper into learning about Brisbane’s history, culture, and First Nations people. An expert guide will provide a range of perspectives on Brisbane’s development – from tough penal colony origins, to ‘colourful’ leaders, and more recent transformations. The tour ends with a drink at a popular spot overlooking Brisbane River.

Charismatic and passionate guides entertain guests throughout the experience with their impressive local knowledge and stories. Guests receive a map with all the places visited after the tour, plus recommendations on extra spots to check out. Tour pics can be shared via an online group.

With small groups of up to 12 people, tours are perfect for domestic and international visitors and solo travellers, or locals looking to make friends and explore their own backyard. Private tours can be booked for visiting groups, corporate events or special occasions.
