5.00This was an awesome tour! Steve shared his extensive knowledge of the history, culture and food of Sydney in a seamless manner. It was enjoyable as well as informative and even included a few groaner jokes. We all enjoyed the food and surprisingly even liked the Vegemite! We cannot recommend this tour highly enough.
Great tour!

5.00This was a terrific walking tour with Bruce. Although food was a focus, it was a much more expansive tour of central Sydney than many food tours, with lots of information and anecdotes. One of us is a pescatarian who doesn't eat shellfish, and they were totally able to accomodate this. The food was interesting and - in many cases - delicious. We highly recommend this!
Great tour

5.00We did the tour twice during our month-long visit to Sydney. Once with family and once with friends. We really loved the tour both times. Both Justin and Steve were great tour guides, giving us insight into Sydney's history and food. We definitely recommend this tour. Plus it was a great walk through Sydney's Central Business District.
Probably the best walking food tour I've been on

5.00Probably the best food and walking tour I have been on! Steve was knowledgeable, personable, funny and really responsive to the groups' needs. We saw sights that others might have missed, and learned about the history and backstories of the areas we saw. The tastings were unique, ranging from flat white, to vegemite, to meat pies, to (probably the world's best) strawberry and watermelon cake, and ended with a hyper-locally sourced charcuterie board at the Opera House overlooking Sydney Harbour. The maximum size of 6 meant we could always see and hear Steve, and ask questions. Instructions for meeting were crystal clear and came with links to Google maps and a pic with arrows. Local Sauce has set the bar pretty high for any future food tours we go on.
Diverse foodie experience

Outstanding introduction to Sydney

5.00Steve was a great guide! My wife and I had such a great time walking and experiencing so much of what Sydney had to offer. We made this tour our first experience after getting off the cruise ship and checking into our hotel. It proved to be an awesome way to very quickly be introduced to Sydney and what we could enjoy over the few days we would be there. Again, Steve was terrific!
Great overview of Sydney with interesting food

5.00My wife and I had a great food tour of Sydney with Justin. We had several stops for food unique to Sydney. In addition, we got to see a number of interesting sites and hear about Sydney history. The tour end at the Opera House where we had some nice snacks. We would highly recommend Justin and Local Sauce tours.
