Interesting and enjoyable tour of Melbourne laneways and select bars. Our guide was excellent. Highly recommend this tour.

Donna_R

Ian was a friendly, knowledgable guide who took us to four very cool bars. Each bar had different vibes and excellent cocktail lists. The bar snacks provided were delicious. Our group really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it. Thanks for a fun few hours Ian.

Mark_P

What a fantastic way to get shown some amazing places. We had a great afternoon being guided by a very knowledgeable host to some really cool places. Places we probably wouldn't have ventured into or found had we not been on this tour. We were lucky enough to share this experience with 3 other great couples and a single from Melbourne and NSW, which made the time even better. Fully recommend.

We had a fabulous afternoon and enjoyed every cocktail. For us it was worthwhile to pre buy our drinks and receive a discount. Laura was great and very informative. At the last bar, we had dinner in the restaurant below, which was also amazing. Something I would definitely recommend for a fun afternoon!

The tour was so interesting. I have never expected that I could find something like this as a city tour - but Melbourne just has too much to offer! We experienced 4 nice bars with lovely drinks. All 4 are so different but nice. Definitely give it a try if you
