Bar Tours

An amazing our with our guide Lenny, he has so much knowledge of Melbourne. The bars we went to were amazing and so was the hospitality. Ihighly recommend this tour when in Melbourne. There are so many hidden laneway bars that it is impossible to find them all.

Fabulous experience!

Whether you’re a local or not, this tour is a must! It’s not just about alcohol but that’s a big plus 🤣but also the CBD history and architecture. Mercedes is extremely knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. Life’s too short to not step outside and smell the roses once in a while!
