5 star ratingPerfect activity for solo or groups: interesting stories, fab drinks and a lovely guide! Brigette is a gun, thank you so much for a fun evening! I highly recommend this tour for visitors as well as locals (like me) who might be curious about local history, creepy stories or just getting to know the city bar scene better! Loved how well the creepy, historical stories tied in with the bars. Our guide was really engaging and funny, I learned a lot while having lots of laughs and delicious drinks - what more could you want!

5 star ratingFun and Informative Our evening was truly enlightening. Brigette, our guide, showcased her vast knowledge of Melbourne's bars, laneways, and historic buildings. We stumbled upon unique bars, but regrettably, did not record their locations. For those in Melbourne, this tour is highly recommended.

5 star ratingA Spooky and Fascinating Night in Melbourne! If you're looking for a fun and eerie way to explore Melbourne, Creepy Tales, Bars & Laneways Walking Tour is a must! Our guide was an incredible storyteller, bringing the city's darker history to life with ghost stories, true crime, and urban legends. The mix of chilling tales and hidden bar stops made for a unique and memorable night.

The laneways were atmospheric, especially after dark, and it was fascinating to learn about Melbourne’s haunted past while enjoying a few drinks along the way. The group size was just right—small enough to feel intimate but large enough to add to the energy of the tour.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves history, mystery, and a good cocktail!

5 star ratingSo much fun! I do a ghost/true crime tour in every city I visit, and this one was the best that I've down so far! The stories were great, and the the bars were perfect. Tess did an amazing job as a tour guide: it was a super hot day so it could have been rough, but she made it really fun and comfortable.

5 star ratingBridget Bluestone waxes lyrical on Melbourne's seedy history. Tour was so much fun and Bridget (Bluestone) was the most enthusiastic and engaging guide I've ever come across. The stories were fascinating and the bars we visited really cute and in a great location. The final bar (Speakeasy) was brilliant. Such great value and a brilliant way to spend a Saturday afternoon and evening.

4 star ratingWhisky and Gin Joints Tour experience - January 2025 I joined a tour led very capably by Lenny. He provided lots of information and some good humour as we walked the Melbourne city streets and visited three bars with specialties in whisky and gin over more than 3 hours. Although I am a local, I was unfamiliar with these venues but will certainly return with people I know in the future. At each venue we were provided with a paddle of three tastings. Whilst I enjoy both whisky and gin, I broadened my knowledge and tasted an interesting variety of products none of which I had previously come across but several of which I hope to try again! Lenny was also able to recommend a number of other bars around the city centre to explore. It was a fun afternoon which I would recommend for anyone keen to discover great places to have a drink in Melbourne and taste Australian whiskies and gins.

5 star ratingHidden Bars & Creepy Tails. Bridget did an amazing job of keeping the entire group entertained with her stories & knowledge of those special places. Those places tucked away where you can enjoy a quiet drink with passionate barmen who know their trade and can whip up a cocktail in the blink of an eye. Had a great time.

5 star ratingCreepy Tales, Bars & Laneways of Melbourne Walking Tour We recently joined the "Creepy Tales, Bars & Laneways of Melbourne Walking Tour" and had an absolutely unforgettable experience. Brigitte, our tour guide, was phenomenal! Despite being the oldest in our group, we felt incredibly included and had a fantastic time.

Brigitte's storytelling was top-notch, sharing creepy stories that even some locals might not know. The tour took us to three hidden bars and some delightfully eerie spots in Melbourne, making it a unique way to explore the city's darker side.

We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne. Don't miss out on the chance to uncover its hidden, spine-chilling secrets!

4 star ratingFun was to see the City (and learn some history) This was a last minute booking which gave us a fun afternoon with 5 other guests, plus our friendly Guide Michael. Learned some fun facts about Melbourne and it's colorful past. The boys drank craft beers that weren't the run of the mill "on tap" variety beers. Downside for me, NZ Sav Blanc wasn't to be found in any of the bars. Found some cute hidden drinking spots though (stopping at 3 of them) and had a nice time chatting to the other guests. Michael made the afternoon fun - he obviously enjoys his job. I would recommend this experience to other travelers.

5 star ratingAn interesting tour of laneways, artwork bars, history and people. This tour company gives you what you pay for folks 👌👌 We were running a little late for the start but when we arrived, our tour guide Bridgette and the rest of the people in the tour were very understanding and we set off. Bridgette was very informative on all facets of the tour and kept us informed. The 3 bars that we visited in the tour were all different and very, very interesting. The times we all had a drink, we all got to know each other and from the time we were together, we found some really interesting and nice people to chat with whom we would love to bump into, at other opportunities and times.

5 star ratingAn entertaining and informative exploration of Melbourne's facsinating laneway history. Terrific walking tour of the tiny laneways and hidden bars of Melbourne's CBD. Our guide, Tom, is a passionate student of history and conveys it in a very entertaining and informative way. One could explore Melbourne's historical landmarks for months but this is a great way to get the abridged version over a few hours. Plus the 3 funky bars we got to check out were places we would have never found without this tour. Thoroughly recommended.

5 star ratingAustralian “Scotch is excellent. Vast knowledge of the history of booze and its affect on the early days of the city. Great way to see this history of the city. It was three hours of very interesting. Booze was pretty good also. Did not like last bar that requested tips on drinks. Nowhere else in Australia or New Zealand asked for tips. Will not be going back to that place.

Brigette led our group of 15 (we were a family group of four adults) on the ‘Hidden Bars and Laneway Legends’ tour with lots of energy and great knowledge. We learnt lots about our own city and its alcohol inspired past. Bars were varied, drinks were tasty. A great experience. Highly recommend.

Tom was a great guide, the bars we visited were fabulous and each was very different. I wish we had done this earlier in our trip, as Tom had a lot of excellent recommendations for other bars we didn’t visit on the tour.

Many parts made for grim listening but, hey that’s what I paid for. Great to meet other interested people and chat to them as we rambled and enjoyed the bars.

5 star ratingBrigette was a fountain of creepy and bar-related knowledge! My partner and I took my father-in-law on this drinking tour to get to know Melbourne at night over a few drinks. Our guide, Brigette, was super engaging, knowledgeable, friendly and funny, creating many gasps and laughs among our small group of five. We particularly loved visiting our first bar, a wine bar with an interesting 're-fill your empty wine bottles' concept called ReWine - as well as learning some of the darker stories of the Queen Victoria Market, university pubs and Melbourne's own Jack the Ripper contender. No corny jump-scares here, just a heap of cool history and drinks 🙂
