I really enjoyed this tour. Relaxed vibe, very friendly host (Tess) who was happy to elaborate and address any questions. The bars which we visited were really cool and we wouldn’t have found our way to them otherwise. Highly recommended!

We went on a very chill jaunt around Melbourne. Lenny's story delivery was top notch and the bars were all really cool in their own ways.

But the bullet and decided to book the tour solo, Bridgette was amazing at making everyone feel comfortable and included, learnt some very interesting facts about Melbourne’s history and the bars were just as great

So much fun! Learned some very interesting history while walking the city and enjoying local bar offerings. Brigette was a great guide as well!

This tour was fun and informative. Bridget is obviously passionate about history (and cats) and we were hanging on to her every word. Highly recommend

We had a great experience with our tour guide Bridgette! Learned a lot of cool new things about Melbournes history and went to some bars we hadn’t tried before. Bridgette was clearly passionate and so engaged and we really appreciated her knowledge and enthusiasm. Thank you so much!

Better late than never... I did this tour a few weeks ago and loved it so much that i just finished another laneway tour with Drinking History Tours. Tess was so much fun to listen to, the stories about the creepy Melbourne history were fascinating and the bars are awesome. I actually discovered my new favourite hidden bar on this tour! So, the summary is: A MUST DO!!!
