Fantastic tour, would go again! - Joined in on a last minute bar tour and couldn’t be more happy with my experience. Being from Melbourne myself, I wanted to discover some unique and interesting spots to add to my list of go-to’s, and I walked away with that and more! My guide was very knowledgeable about the history and fun quirks of some of the venues and landmarks we walked by between drinks. Before we all went our own ways, we were even given a list of places to visit after to keep the night going! For $90, I’ll be going again with friends, would highly recommend this to both locals and tourists, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

2st bar tour. - Not being a cocktail drinker normally, I was really surprised. Enjoyed the whole night. Enough food was supplied at the second bar, almost like dinner stop.

Tiny hidden bars - Ethan’s background information and the smallness of the bars we visited. Also some nearby bars that we didn’t visit but seemed interesting for a future night out.

Not Ideal for Younger Solo Travelers – Better Suited for an Older Crowd - My original tour was cancelled at the last minute due to low bookings, which in hindsight should have been an early warning sign. When it was rescheduled, I was placed on a tour with 11 other participants — all women aged roughly 60 and above. As a solo male traveler in my 30s looking to meet people closer to my own age, this unfortunately wasn’t the experience I was hoping for on a Saturday night, and it did put a damper on the evening. While I understand that the company can't control who books each tour, the marketing on the website does give the impression of a younger, more mixed-age crowd, which was part of why I booked in the first place. I have no issue with an age-diverse group, but when there's a complete generational gap, it can make socializing difficult and impact the overall vibe. At $90, I found the tour to be overpriced for what was offered — particularly since drinks aren't included and it appears to run irregularly due to limited interest. If you're in the 60+ age group, this might actually be a great fit for you. However, if you're a younger traveller hoping for a more dynamic social setting, I’d recommend looking into other options.
