Excellent Newton / Enmore Small Bar and Street Art Your. Totally recommend
Excellent introduction to the Newtown and Enmore city night scene, such fun visiting the hidden bars, checking the local street art and savouring the diverse local cuisine. Thanks to Mel, our entertaining Sauce tour guide, who made us so welcome!

Brilliant
This tour was great value for money. Justin was really friendly and informative and knew so much about the area we were in. He got us in some really cool bars I wouldn’t have noticed without a guide and i got to meet other tourists too. I wish I had done this tour earlier in my visit to Sydney so I could revisit some of the amazing spots he showed us but it’s a great excuse to return !

Fantastic tour!
Fantastic tour with Robyn - she was just awesome! Friendly, knowledgeable and made everyone feel at home. We had 4 delicious tastings and covered quite a bit of Newtown - also got some tips on where to go after the tour

Awesome insider tour.
I had a great time on this tour with Justin. He pointed out and provided interesting back stories about the street art and bar scene, and brought our group to great bars. Highly recommend this tour.

Great Tour, Highly Recommended!
This was an amazing tour! We saw a variety of art covering political, cultural and social themes. The small bars were full of locals and not tourists, and our guide Justin was full of information and very easy to talk to. The bars were a great way to take breaks during the tour. We were also very impressed that even though my husband and I were the only two who signed up, the tour was not cancelled. We highly recommend this tour.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $53 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney Small Bars and Street Art Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
