Had an amazing time on this bar-hopping tour in Melbourne with Simon! We visited five incredible hidden bars, each with its own unique charm and top-tier drinks. Simon’s knowledge of the city’s history and his storytelling made the experience even more special. He has a great way of bringing the places to life, making you feel like you're uncovering Melbourne’s best-kept secrets. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and unforgettable night out!

For a first timer in Melbourne, this tour was great if you like to find cool and unique places to have nice drinks and maybe some food too. Simon our guide was very knowledgeable of the places we visited and provided some local history along the way. The small group was perfect too.

Beau was our guide for the Hidden Laneway Bar Tour and was informative & had a great sense of humor. We had a great experience and the quality of drinks was amazing. Should we ever return to Melbourne, we wouldn’t hesitate to do the tour again. Thanks Beau!
