We really enjoyed the three hour walking tour of Sydney with Justin. He was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the first nations history as well as the history of Australia. We covered a lot of territory and ended at a nice brewery with a beer and a toast. We appreciate you getting links for places to eat and neighborhoods to visit since this was our first day and Sydney. We discovered a new town as well as quite a few other interesting places and also ate in Chinatown. The group was 12 which worked fine I wouldn’t want a bigger group than that . We would have done more tours with Justin but our schedule conflicted with other activities we already planned

Andrew was a great guide! Really friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend for people wanting to get away from the typical Sydney CBD scenery, and explore more of suburban Sydney.

I had the privilege to do a secret pub crawl with local sauce tours. I had the best time with Kieran as he provided us with stories & insights of all the bars we went to l, what an Enthralling experience that was. The people I met were raging ones, I so look forward to another tour with local sauce tours. I had a fabulous time. Crawling back at ya when I visit Sydney. Cheers!!!!!!!

Absolutely fantastic tour with Andrew, who took us into the ins and outs of Aussie food culture! We loved the facts that the tour took place in 3 extraordinary quarters of Sydney which had a lot of historical and culinary experiences waiting for us. Walking distances are more than fine and you regularly stop for an interesting fact or delicious Aussie food. Guess we will drink our coffees from now on only through a TimTam :)

I went on the out with a friend and our host was Andrew. We went round Pyrmont and other areas. We learnt from Andrew that the areas were previously industrial ( wool and shipbuilding) and were quite rough. Today the area is pretty chic with some great old houses and converted warehouses. There are a lot of great local bars too. We finished our walk in a pub with a a beer and met the friendly cockatoo who was in charge :) Andrew was brilliant- knew the history and what goes on. My friend grew up in Sydney and was able to give some great perspectives as well.

We did this tour with Andrew who was great, very personable and knowledgeable of the area. He kept the tour engaging and informative the entire time. It was great to see and experience some of the lesser known parts of Sydney in such an interesting way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a way to spend a beautiful morning in Australia.

Justin is very nice and you can tell he loves his job. I loved the streets we passed during our walk. The weather was very nice that day and everything was very comfortable. I also met good friends during the tour, which is a very worthwhile tour.

Justin has guided 2 groups of our personal guests. Everyone enjoyed seeing the famous sights of Sydney. Getting to enjoy a lovely dinner at the end as well was amazing. Highly recommend using local sauce tours for any of your upcoming tours.
