Solo Out & About Pub Crawl - As a solo traveler, I was nervous before the event, but wanted to do something, to remember my first day in Australia. Note, I had set in my mind to leave the event early, but Mitch was so inviting, and protective of his participants that he helped me relax and loose my fear of being in a big city all by myself. All of the sudden, I felt like - I was not alone; like e.g. I belonged to a group, part of the team, had friends, wasn't solo...He made sure we were all inclusive, and intrigued us with the stories and history of each fun place/pub/bar he studied and took us to. At the end of our alloted time, those who wanted to stay on, did so, but he had committed to ensure my safe passage back to the train station, so he escorted me safely there. This will be added to my fun experiences that I am pleased to have found on TripAdvisor. C. Bernota

Excellent tour of Sydney’s top bars - Mitch & Justin were amazing in showing us their city and its nightlife. Not only did we visit awesome bars with great drinks, we also went a step deeper in understanding the fabric of Sydney and its culture. All with some new friends too - highly recommend!!

Great way to kick-off your Sydney trip! - Joined the Saturday bar crawl around Darlinghurst & Surry Hills with four other people. Claudia our tour guide was knowledgeable of the neighborhood, and the itinerary was well-thought of while still offering some flexibility (we had the option to have some proper dinner at one of the places!)
What a fun night to meet new people and explore bars that I wouldn't have thought of visiting~ Def recommend to do this!

Book This Tour! - Husband and I went on the Saturday night crawl with Eddie and had a FANTASTIC experience. Our group had 12-13 folks from at least 5 different countries. We hit up some incredible little bars that we would have NEVER found on our own including one that had no marked door but you looked for the loitering cowboys in the alley. Eddie dropped a little local history at each location. Absolutely recommend this tour it was a highlight of our 24 hours in Sydney.

Great night out with an entertaining and informative host. - A great night out with Mitch. Excellent company and a knowledgable host who kept us entertained and informed. The bars were very much 'off the beaten track' and really interesting. I would highly recommend this tour and a great one to do at the beginning of a stay in Sydney.

Creatuve bar tour from a local - The secret bar tour was a great way to see the different types of bars that Sydney has to offer! Was the first of two tours we did with Local Sauce Tours. Would book them again in a heartbeat! If you like trying new drinks or just want to see the more creative bar scene Sydney has to offer, this is the tour for you!

Would Do This Again! - This was a terrific tour, and Justin was a great host. We visited a number of excellent bars we would’ve never found by ourselves. The drinks were unique, and the whole group dynamic was just as good. Justin‘s knowledge of the local bar scene put everything in context.
