5.00This tour was great value for money. Justin was really friendly and informative and knew so much about the area we were in. He got us in some really cool bars I wouldn’t have noticed without a guide and i got to meet other tourists too. I wish I had done this tour earlier in my visit to Sydney so I could revisit some of the amazing spots he showed us but it’s a great excuse to return !
Between now, past, future, a whole part of Australia's history, not to mention the openness of mind!

5.00This was an amazing tour! We saw a variety of art covering political, cultural and social themes. The small bars were full of locals and not tourists, and our guide Justin was full of information and very easy to talk to. The bars were a great way to take breaks during the tour. We were also very impressed that even though my husband and I were the only two who signed up, the tour was not cancelled. We highly recommend this tour.

5.00Justin was an outstanding tour guide. He is quite pleasant and fun to hang out with, and quite an expert on all the hidden and less known bars. We visited some fantastic bars with him and had a good time. It was so much fun that we can't wait to do it again on our next visit to Sydney!
Perfect Evening with Friends (new and old)

5.00Wowie! I did not expect so much from one part of Sydney! And Justin was the perfect guide. Myself and two other country girls felt very much at home in the big city with Justin as our guide. Highly recommend the small bar and street art tour to get your bearings on a new city, find some new bars or simply do something different.
