Sydney bar crawl - Such a great small group tour that took us to some spots I would have never found on my own. Justin was a great guide that took ok us to some great spots that all had good crowds and different vibes. He also shared some historical stories of the neighborhoods we walked through as well as facilitating discussion amongst the tour group. This was a fun tour.

Great adventure to lowkey bars and new friends. - This was a great tour to meet some people, learn about the city, and find some truly cool bars. I walked passed a couple of them and didn’t even know they existed so you will definitely find new spots on this tour. Justin has lived in the city for a long time as well so is knowledgeable about any questions that come up throughout a bar tour.

Great Bar Tour with outstanding Dives and Bars - Went on the Sydney Bars and Secrets and Nightlife Tour and was not Disappointed, Jake our guide did an Outstanding Job in Highlighting the Bars and Dives of Darlinghurst and Oxford Street. I highly enjoyed the Toucana and Tios for its Music Playlist and just the Great Vibes that helped our Group Get acquainted for the Evening. Jake Thank You for an Enjoyable Evening and I look forward to taking a Local Sauce Tour on My Next Trip Down to Oz.
