Classier Than A Bar Crawl

Great experience with this tour! We did the Drinking History - Legends and Laneways Tour on our first evening in Melbourne, and it was a great way to start our trip while learning about the city. Bridgette (Crazy Cat Lady) was an excellent host - informative, personable and funny with some great stories (and even better cat photos if you ask!)
Really enjoyed all the places we went to, and even returned to one later in our trip. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne!read moreread lessSamantha J07/04/25 -
3 hours well spent This is the second tour of Melbourne that we have done and it was as good as the first.
We were fortunate to have Bridgette (Crazy Cat Lady) as our guide on both occasions. She is extremely knowledgeable and tells some great stories about Melbourne, the laneways and bars and the dark past.read moreread lessFooto4425/03/25 -
Another informative tour This is the second time we have had Bridgette as our tour guide and her knowledge of all things Melbourne is fantastic. From the historical facts to urban myths and legends, she tells a great story whilst showing you places you would otherwise never discover on your own. Highly recommend!

Perfect 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!

Fun 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.
