- Jenny Schmedt auf der Günne14/05/2025Such a great night. Small group, big fun.
We were only two guests plus our guide, but he really made an effort and created a fantastic experience. I had the best time ever. Delicious drinks, super cool locations, and a fun mix of street art and local history along the way. What’s not to love?
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and memorable night out in Sydney.read moreread less - John M.13/05/2025A great tour with my guide Steve, very friendly and informative with the information. Also great bars that you really wouldn’t have known as being in Sydney. Thanks for showing a different side to the city and a great and fun evening overall. Thank you once again.read moreread less
- Marion Dent10/05/2025We really enjoyed our Little Italy Food Tour in Five Dock today. Our guide greeted us with a cappuccino , ( thanks Justin!) and knew all the proprietors well and was knowledgeable about the local area. Lucky we didn’t have much for breakfast because by the end of the tour we didn’t need lunch or anything else till late afternoon! A thoroughly enjoyable experience.read moreread less
- Leilani08/05/2025I took a walking food tour of Chinatown Sydney with Bunny, a wonderful, friendly tour guide who showed us a variety of restaurants and food stops. All of us were very entertained by the short stories and background histories of certain buildings, restaurants and monuments around the area. She also gave us samples of some of the best snacks in Chinatown & I returned to some of the restaurants later because they were so good.
I highly recommend this walking tour to anyone curious about the food in Chinatown and would like to familiarize themselves to the wide variety of tasty snacks and foods offered in the area. It was super!!read moreread less - Joy Palmer05/05/2025We like to book a first day walking tour of a new city, when possible, as it brings the city to life and helps us to understand the layout.
The Local Sauce Sydney and the Rocks tour delivered in spades.
The tour guide, Michael, was very welcoming and made time to chat to each tour attendee individually.
The tour itself was everything we hoped for and more. Michael explained the history of Sydney from the British, Aboriginal and British convicts point of view, he explained the architecture, how it came to be, artwork and personal experiences of growing up and living in the city. We visited many of the big landmarks and also some more tucked away. He was open to questions and took time to answer them and put them in context.
He also took time at the end of the tour to explain different ideas for places to visit and how to get there, plus some of his own personal favourite eateries.
We had an amazing experience, exactly what we had hoped for when searching for and deciding on this tour. Highly recommended.read moreread less - Debra05/05/2025Michael was an outstanding host. He integrated history and storytelling very well, and the whole trip was super engaging, Michael was also personable and linked history and current events in Sydney to the home regions of the participants, in this case, the UK and US. The pace was so relaxed that we did not even realize how much ground we covered until the end. Michael also provided stellar and thoughtful food and excursion recommendations, We highly recommend Michael as your tour guide!read moreread lessChris Fagan04/05/2025I booked onto the Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour the night before after some deliberation about which company to go with and I have zero regrets!
Our guide, Jake, was fun, knowledgable and very easy to get on with, it felt like he’d been doing this tour for years!
The tour itself perfectly covered the key highlights of Sydney CBD, from Circular Quay, down to Hyde Park and finishing at The Rocks, covering a good blend of First Nations, Colonial and Modern history.
I would recommended Local Sauce Tours to everyone.read moreread less - Keith04/05/2025Melinda was a fantastic guide. Fun and knowledgeable and highly recommend. The tour around Newtown was informative and Melinda made the experience fun with the combination of food and drink. The tacos, pie, ice cream and falafel hit the spot and ended up in a cool brewery to finish. Great way to spend an afternoon.read moreread lessJeans04/05/2025This was an absolutely wonderful experience! I especially want to praise our guide Bunny, whose vibrant and energetic leadership style made the entire journey incredibly fun. Bunny was able to customize her explanations based on the situation, presenting Chinatown’s history and cultural background in an accessible yet thorough way, while guiding us to sample various authentic delicacies.
Through this tour, I not only tasted delicious street food but also gained a deeper understanding of Chinatown’s historical development and cultural traditions. Bunny’s extensive knowledge and friendly attitude made this experience truly memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Chinatown in depth!read moreread lessKing03/05/2025The bar crawl was a fantastic experience! It was such a fun and relaxed way to meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds. A huge shoutout to you both for being such thoughtful and attentive hosts Justin & Jack! it really made the night feel welcoming and comfortable for everyone. Your effort to check in with each guest didn’t go unnoticed!
I’d highly recommend this night out to anyone new in town, whether they’re just visiting or planning to stay longer. It’s the perfect mix of social, local, and memorable!
Thanks again for the great vibes! 🙂read moreread less - John P02/05/2025This is a “Do Not Miss” tour! Jake was our guide and he gave us a wonderful tour today.

Our tour guide, Steve, was very knowledgeable, informative, and funny. He gave us a very good overview of Sydney, so we knew the areas that we wanted to come back to when we had more time later during our vacation.

- Kristen L23/04/2025Great tour! I went on the Ultimate Walking Tour and really enjoyed the experience. The tour guide, Dan, was knowledgeable about the area and considerate to any needs or questions I had along the way. With knowing very little about the area before hand, I left the tour with a greater understanding of the history and the best areas to shop and dine. Tip: There are very few hill climbs making this tour great for anyone but make sure to wear comfortable shoes!read moreread less
- Varsha A18/04/2025Justin was such a great energy to be around. He has so much knowledge to share with the group, took us through Fivedock, and opened us to new experiences with respect to Italian food and culture. It was refreshing to meet people who are intrigued and curious about different cultures. Justin made us all feel very comfortable and took us on a walk through the great N road in Fivedock. I would rate this experience 10/10. Wanna do something fun and exciting with your friends and family? I’d highly recommend trying this tour.read moreread less

That limited some of our ability to move about as freely. Justin was very knowledgeable and engaging. We were in a very small group so that made the experience even more special and individualized. I would highly recommend this tour.read moreread lessEileen23/04/2025An absolute must-do in Sydney! The walking tour was a perfect blend of iconic sights and hidden treasures—from awe-inspiring stories behind city architectures to tucked-away laneways buzzing with street art and local cafés. The guide’s infectious passion for Sydney’s history and culture brought the city to life, weaving tales of Indigenous heritage, colonial history, and modern quirks with humor and warmth. The small group size kept it personal, ending with a at local restaurant where we swapped tips and laughs like friends.read moreread less
- Edmund21/04/2025Michael was knowledgeable, punctual, engaging and considerate. He gave us a real good feel for the history and important sites of Sydney. The length of the tour was not too long or short – it was just right. We highly recommend this tour to get acquainted with this wonderful city.read moreread lessFreddy19/04/2025Amazing tour! Justin and his team are great. We had Andrew and he was a superb storyteller, very good customer service and a locals perspective. Loved the history, the sites visited and a good option to learn about the city. 100% recommended. Book this tour yes or yes.read moreread less
- Quan13/04/2025Bunny was exceptional in her story telling ability. We thought we knew everything we needed to know about Chinatown since our hotel happens to be located in the heart of Chinatown and it was our 5th day staying in Sydney. But we were wrong! What we thought was a good tour was much more like a historical lesson that used food as a venue to transition. We learned so much about artwork, culture, history and of course food! Bunny was very accommodating with us bringing our toddler in a stroller. Overall a great experience that we highly recommend to anyone who thinks they already knew too much about Chinese food or Chinatown or knew nothing and wanted to learn more.read moreread lessBrad11/04/2025I did this tour on the day I arrived in Sydney for the first time.

We recommend whole heartedly.read moreread lessJoyce10/04/2025Daniel was a great guide, very engaging and knowledgeable. We are not massive art fans but wanted something a bit different- Daniel was enthusiastic and made the tour very interesting for us. The food/drink stops were very good too. Daniel went above and beyond at the end of the tour by escorting us to the bus stop and advising us what bus we should get and when to get off which was very much appreciated. Thanksread moreread less
- John08/04/2025What a terrific introduction to the Newtown neighborhood! Well rounded descriptions and back stories to the fabulous murals! Enough food and drinks mixed in to give a taste of what Newtown has to offer…and where to come back to next time. The glue to the tour? Our guide Danny! Personable! Upbeat! And certainly able to share funny tidbits about his old hangouts!! Don’t scroll by! Book now…and be glad you did!read moreread less
