Great tour and a lot of fun! - The tour with Justin was really fun and we had a great time. We got to experience Sydney in a completely different way and met so many wonderful people that we’re still in contact with today. We’ll be back in Sydney in October and will definitely book another tour with Justin.

Evening bar hops - Kieran is a knowledgeable and gregarious host. Our group of 7 moved through The Rocks and surrounding Sydney at a comfortable pace at the watering holes were interesting.

Instant night out plan - Kiernan's tour made for such a fun night! As someone who didn't know anyone in the city this was an amazing way to have a fun night out, meet some interesting people, and see some cool bars around town.

Amazing tour from start to finish. - Such a fantastic experience! This tour was incredibly well curated, and you can really feel how passionate the owner is about making sure everyone has an amazing time. The bars were unique, intimate, and places I never would have found on my own. Great energy, great people, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience Sydney nightlife in a more personal and memorable way.

Great time mixed with some history. - This was a great tour. We visited bars that you would not normally know about or maybe even find with a small group.

amazing sydney - Sydney has so many wonderful and charming bars. I’m truly grateful to our guide Ari, who showed us so many great places and shared such a fun time with us. Ari is a warm, kind-hearted, and passionate guide who genuinely enjoys this job and spreads a positive energy that makes everyone feel happy and comfortable. Thanks to Ari, we drank, laughed, and enjoyed ourselves so much that I ended up getting completely tipsy! I sincerely hope Ari’s liver stays strong and healthy. Thank you so much

Book if you're into the 3 W's! - I went with a friend and it was such a fun night out! Ari was an excellent tour guide who took us to some amazing bars that I have never been to despite living in Sydney. Highly recommend if you're not sure where to get a good drink in Sydney!
