Classier Than A Bar Crawl

Bridget 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.

The Crazy cat crew Super fun tour. Our group was nice and small, and all crazy cat people so we got along really well! Brigette was incredibly knowledgeable and great company and all the bars were fun with yummy drinks. Highly recommend even if you’re travelling solo.

An insight into Melbourne's dark past combined with a few drinks how can you go wrong What an amazing night! Our guide Bridget provided our group with historic accounts from Melbourne's early beginnings and dark past mixed in with bar stops along the way. A must do when in Melbourne!
