We were lucky to be hosted by the Big Bossman Ben as he brought us on a walk down CBD across a few landmarks, such as QV market down south to Flinders. Tale by Tale, Pint by Pint we were delightfully entertained with stories of creepy/scary/ghostly history bits of Melbourne City which you wouldn't come across even if you walked every single pavement of the CBD. Thanks for the introduction to the laneway bar scene as well!

Throughly enjoyed our tour with Tom- very informative, loved learning about the history of melbourne and found the backstories of certain streets and bars really intresting. The bars that were recommended were very fun with aspects of secrecy and good drinks

We did the Hidden Bars & Creepy Tales tour on the weekend and had the best time. We learned so much interesting, grisly and spooky history walking through the streets of our state’s capital, thanks to our fantastic, knowledgeable and fun guide Lenny. The three bars we visited were very funky and made THE coolest looking cocktails. Definitely considering a return to Melbourne soon for another tour from your offerings. Thanks for a fun afternoon.

Excellent history and drinking tour of Melbourne. Have lived in Melbourne most of my life and still learnt so much and saw parts Ive never noticed before. Brilliant guided tour with Alda who made sure we all had a great time exploring the hidden laneways full of creepy stories. We also stayed hydrated in some great bars along the way. Bravo Alda!! Highly recommended..

A fantastic opportunity to combine learning some history of Melbourne, some really creepy tales and some amazing bars with a lovely group of local tourists

Our tour guide had heaps of information and each bar was unique. A great way to access bits about Melbourne. Thanks Alba, we had a great afternoon.

The guide was good, the creepy tales were interesting & the historical tour stops were appropriate... but the hidden bars were disappointing. Bar #1 - Workshop: average (at least we had a decent place to sit & get to know other tour-goers). Bar #2 - Ferdydurke: the worst (they crammed us in the back of the bar & obviously weren't prepared to seat a large group. I don't know why this bar was chosen for the tour as it wasn't a big enough place, when already full of the usual patrons. Also the music was garbage & too loud to actually chat, so we all sat awkwardly drinking our drinks until it was time to leave). Bar #3 - Jack & Bones: average (decent food & drinks + available seating, but the guide bailed soon after arriving due to needing to catch a late tram home, so the tour felt like it fell flat at the end). Honestly, due to the historical nature of the rest of the tour, we would have preferred to attend historical bars instead (E.g., Oxford Scholar + Young & Jackson).

Highly recommend Alda— interesting bits of history and on top of hitting good bars, she gave great recommendations.

Our tour guide, Alda, was very nice & knowledgeable about Melbourne, took us to 3 bars, Alda had lots of stories to tell us at different locations, we also loved meeting others in the tour group,

I was on this tour with a friend for his birthday present. The tour guide was very informative and had lots of information about the history of Melbourne distilleries. We went to 3 bars and although everyone on the tour were whiskey lovers we had more Gin than Whiskey. I was a bit disappointed as we thought we were getting a whiskey tour. If you like Gin this is definatley the tour for you.

Guide very nice but tales not very creepy or interesting and took too long to get the actual reason for the story. Would have been nice to have more than a “quick drink” in each bar. First bar nice and quirky 2nd bar terrible and 3rd bar excellent.

Our guide Alfa was very knowledgeable and the stories she told were interesting but I had expected a more ghostly and slightly scary experience. The bars were fun especially the last one with a hidden door. But overall the description did not match what I expected.

It was a cold night, but that didn't matter. We enjoyed the walk, the stories, the bars and the drinks. Although we've lived in Melbourne for many years, we got to see a side we hadn't experienced before, and that was great.

We had lenni as a guide and I must say, he is extremely enthusiastic about his job, but he actually MAKES the tour. Lenni is a wealth of knowledge, and a great tour guide. He seems to be a really good person and really excellent with people. I would indeed go on a tour like this again, but me personally I will wait for summer and I will have a whole group of friends do the tour with me... Highly recommend... A+++++ THANX LENNI AND #DRUNK HISTORY TOURS ❤️

Great idea for a chance to see a different side of Melbourne and learn some quirky yet relevant history of the place. Lenny was great! Highly recommend
