A fantastic selection of tastings and all the staff we met were so welcoming! Would definitely recommend!!read moreread less Jolene L17/05/26
- Definitely the drinking tour to book I had an amazing time with Maria on my tour! The bars were unique, cozy, and well selected and I learned a lot about Melbourne's history. Sometimes the tour doesn't stop there either, being a solo traveller and having no plans for the rest of the night, Maria invited me to dinner with herself and a friend, and I got a few more bar recommendations along the way. All in all, the tour was exactly what I was hoping it would be and was absolutely worth doing, especially if you have Maria as a guide!read moreread less
Mariah G17/05/26 - A spine-chilling time! Had a blast with this tour! Maria did an excellent job taking us through unique locations in the Melbourne CBD and telling creepy, engaging and surprising stories. All the locations were exceptional and fit the vibes of the night very well. Would recommend!read moreread less Akira H15/05/26
- Fantastic Experience! A surprise present for my partner - we loved every minute of the Creepy Tales tour. Jay (aka S-Jay) was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. The bars (and cocktails) were also amazing. We highly recommend DHT. We cannot wait to book with Jay again!read moreread less JoC217311/05/26
- Exceptional! Highly recommend! I had such an amazing time on the creepy tales tour. It helped me to view Melbourne in a completely different way. Tess was such a friendly, fun and informative guide. The bars we visited were incredible, with some of the best cocktails I've ever tried. And the banter between Tess and her colleague Jay was truly top notch and really added to the overall experience. What marvellous humans they are. I would 100% recommend this tour!read moreread less Jessica B10/05/26
- Newts critique of Jay Jay WAS the tour and Melbourne showed us around Jays vivid imagination. Aside from his historic recall and his amiable disposition, Jays facts and theories filled Melbourne’s inanimate with energy and vibrations of years past. And his choice of bars was perfect.read moreread less Global3784377628810/05/26
- Great tour of places I would have never been with new friends. Maria our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of bars and hotels. She was also friendly and extremely helpful. It was interesting tour that took us to places we did t know despite having travelled to Melbourne on many other occasions. Our group stayed and talked well beyond the set tour time and left feeling like friends.read moreread less Rob J19/04/26
