Classier Than A Bar Crawl

- Hidden 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.read moreread lessDavid E16/12/24
- Creepy 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!read moreread lessUte L20/11/24 - An 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.read moreread lessV6088UTjohnw02/11/24
- An 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.read moreread lessFNQFoodie01/11/24
- Australian “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.read moreread less328charleym31/10/24
