What a great experience.
Touring the laneways and hidden bars of Melbourne was truly amazing.
Visiting places we wouldn’t normally venture to without the knowledge of our awesome guide Ian was priceless.
Ian was very knowledge, friendly and accomodating. He tailored our tour to the guests present and really took the time to get to know us all. Would highly recommend this tour. Would definitely do it again next time we are visiting.

This tour was fun and we enjoyed discovering hidden bars with new friends. Marc was an enthusiastic host with lots of information on exciting bars to explore in the future. We enjoyed a variety of cocktails. Definitely purchase the premium package and have your drinks delivered to your seat. A very special tour.

Although we live in Melbourne, we went to bars we had never been to before and had the best time with Ian (our tour guide) on this tour - so much fun and Ian was so knowledgeable and friendly. Can't wait to do another tour with Ian!

Great evening with a fantastic and passionate guide going to some great laneway bars. Ian loved to share the history around some of the places we stopped or even walked past, which was a great bonus. Even as Melbourne locals, we found some new waterholes and the whole tour group was so lovely we went for kick-ons afterwards. Definitely recommend!

Had a great afternoon with our guide Ian and all the wonderful people we met. Discovered some hidden gems and Ian's knowledge of Melbourne's history was impressive. Watching elite mixologists crafting delicious cocktails was an experience in itself! Ian's tips and list of other hidden bars meant that those of us who wanted to continue on after the tour finished had plenty of other hidey holes to try! A fantastic experience for Melbourne locals and visitors alike.

We had 6 friends and another 4 joined on our tour. We all paid $90 each = $900. The tour guide was nice, but we got nothing else for our $90 each. We walked to 3 bars and took a free tram to another. We had to buy our drinks on top of the $90. So it was not goos value. We could've Google the secret bars and saved the $90 each.

The tour was super great Beau provided. He showed us so much of the city and places we may never have found on our own. The stories were really great. I really enjoy educational and entertaining tours and Beau provided both.
