Forgot history textbooks and boring guidebooks, we’ll undercover the real characters and hidden history of Melbourne /Naarm (alongside a hidden bar or two!) that have made marvellous Melbourne what it is today. Experience the city’s unique bar scene with a local guide and have a drink at three amazing venues. By the end of this tour, you’ll discover that history really is better with booze (as if there was ever any doubt)! Because everyone’s drinking preferences and tolerances are different, rather than include drinks, we keep our tour price low and allow you to purchase drinks as you go. Most establishments accept bank cards, but there is occasionally a minimum spend. You may wish to bring cash if you want to avoid this.

My husband and I joined tour guide Flo for this tour over our anniversary week in Melbourne in July of 2019. Being the only signed up for this particular tour was awesome as Flo was able to take us to locations of interest to us along with the normal stops of the tour. We had a great time talking history as we explored various bars and interesting locations of Melbourne while imbibing a nice variety of local alcohol. Flo also takes the time to follow up with an e-mail filled with further points of interest in Melbourne based on what we talked about. This is a great way to spend an afternoon in Melbourne!
