Perfect whiskey and gin experience Wow what a fantastic way to explore some beautiful Melbourne bars and taste delicious whiskeys and gins. Brigitte entertained us and informed us of the history at the same time - her knowledge and passion for the subject was amazing. Would definitely recommend the tour.
Special mention to our "nemesis" tour guide Jay who ran the laneway tour at the same time - that's the next tour on the list.read moreread less
Janine C18/06/26 - Hidden gems we never knew existed - Right in our own home city!!! Brigitte was an absolute gem of a guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly loves what she does. As people who consider ourselves pretty familiar with the city, we were genuinely surprised by how many hidden gems we discovered right in our own backyard. Melbourne CBD has so many secret spots we never knew existed. A brilliant way to see the city with fresh eyes—highly recommend for visitors and locals alike! We now have a new appreciation for Gin and Whiskey!read moreread less Navigate2665141404115/06/26

It was the perfect experience with our tour guide Maria, who was enthusiastic, informative and very lovely on a winter afternoon. A great way to end the tour at the Little Lon Distilling Co. with a tall glass of mulled gin.read moreread less mayio201806/06/26
- Tourist in my own city thanks to Maria! Thank you so much Maria for the most incredible tour! I’m a Melbourne local who went on this tour to explore my own city and have a fun night out, which is exactly what I got. Maria is a natural story teller who had us all captivated and entertained for the entire tour! I learnt so many great facts about the history of Melbourne that I had never heard, despite living here for years. All the bars were fantastic, delicious drinks and great conversation. Maria was awesome to chat to and the whole group were so much fun! Was so great to meet Marco, Brenton, Lydia, Jodie, Tom and others (who I’ve unfortunately forgotten the names of!). I recommend this tour and Maria both so highly, to both tourists and Melbourne locals alike.read moreread less lozh202305/06/26
