Great tour - We 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 - Probably 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.

Outstanding introduction to Sydney - Steve 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 - My 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.

I’d do it again! - I had a great time in this tour. The variety of food with the history was great. I wanted to taste local and indigenous eats. We had both. Our guide also gave extra recommendations for the Sydney CBD. Take this tour!!

Couple from Chicago first time in Australia - 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
