Local Sauce was the 3rd and final food/drink tour I partook in while I was in Sydney Australia on holiday recently and I have to say, it was the best in terms of price, keeping me interested/engaged, AND food offerings.
My instructions were to meet the group at the “I Have A Dream“ mural in Newtown, which was easy enough for me to find. Once I got there, I quickly identified others with the same lost expression and knew I’d found my tribe, lol. Shortly thereafter, Daniel appeared, introduced himself, and herded us around the corner to one of the most beautiful murals I’ve ever seen.
From there we had an icebreaker where we each introduced ourselves, then we were off. We walked a bit with Daniel pointing out art and historical references along the way until we arrived at the first food venue which served meat pies. I shared a beef pie with another tour person and it was AMAZING.
And so it was like this the rest of the tour. We saw amazing murals and learned of Newtown history in between walking to the other food venues. We stopped at an Egyptian place that served falafel balls that were to die for. Next was a vegan taco place where I had the best tacos in my life, EVER. No joke. And lets not forget the Turkish ice cream place, where it was so hard to choose between delicious flavors.
We ended the tour at Young Henry’s, which is a super cool brewery with all kinds of crazy murals and tchotchkes.
Daniel was a good spirited and knowledgeable guide. I enjoyed his guidance and energy. Overall, I was very happy with my Local Sauce experience and definitely recommend it for natives and travelers.
