Jake was an outstanding guide during last night’s pub crawl. Not only is he easy on the eyes, but he also made sure everyone felt included, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the night. His witty, nerdy jokes helped break the ice and made it easy for everyone to connect and have a great time together. Jake created a fun, welcoming atmosphere that turned a group of strangers into friends by the end of the evening. I would highly recommend this pub crawl to anyone looking for a memorable night out, and Jake in particular is a big reason why the experience was so enjoyable. Thanks for an amazing night!
Great tour of local bars and secret locales. We did our tour with some locals, which made it fun and interesting.
Traveling solo through Sydney and was looking for a fun way to connect with others and visit some of Sydney’s bars/nightlife and this tour didn’t disappoint. We were like the United Nations on this tour with nine people representing six different countries, super fun. Loved our guide Kieran and his passion for showing us his city. The bars we went to were all different and all fabulous including some darts and live music thrown in. I did this on my first night in Sydney and I can’t recommend this tour enough, especially for solo travelers.
What a fantastic night we had - there were 13 of us - various ages and from different countries - so much fun. Great bars - places I never knew existed. We had Kerrin as our guide for the night - very knowledgeable- very fun - had everyone connecting with each other. Definitely recommend doing this one - you won’t be disappointed.
This was such a fun night! Kieran was great! He took us to some great bars with cool backstories, ambiance, & drinks, gave us some fun trivia about the city, and also fun quizzes about Aussie slang. Highly recommend!
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.
Each bar we visited all had a little history with it and it was super fun to learn. Really great drinks as well. The group I was with as a solo traveler were fun so it made the night more memorable!
Our guide Kieran was great and took us to hidden bars we didn’t know existed. Varying drink options hit the spot for those opting for beer and whiskey specialties.
Despite the heavy rain at times, the venues were exciting and enjoyable. Our guide Justin was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took the time to ensure that everyone was having a good time.
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.
