Reviews
Great experience. the guide is very passionate and willing to share. The bars are great. as started at 3pm, not many guests and u can really enjoy the drinks. highly recommend it as a part of Melbourne experience
We had the best time… such an easy going tour with short walking distance between bars and given information about the area as we walked to the next bar. Great variety of bars. Had the best time mingling with the other people on the tour and I would definitely recommend and I’d do again
Small group. Hugo was great, shared lots of fun fact about Melbourne. Brought us to real hidden gems bars. Highly recommend if you like to meet new people and enjoy cocktails.
Ian was excellent in Guiding us thru the hidden bars....
