Great Melbourne Tour with Tess - Was a great night! Our amazing host, Tess, was wonderfully warm and kind, and she blew us away with her bizarre and mind blowing stories of the city and the history it holds. Love loved the Melbourne night life and the little hidden bars down inconspicuous alley ways. Our favorite was the last bar which felt like we were in a warm and cosy living room. Definitely recommend if you are wanting a different view and perspective of Melbourne. Thanks again Tess!!!

Tess is the best - TESS was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing! I have learnt so much about the history of Melbourne. We were unlucky with the weather (outside of anyone's control unless your name is Zeus) but despite this we had an incredible time. Highly recommend to local and visitors! ❤️❤️❤️

Discovered some interesting stories about legends and how the city kept the dead! - Our lovely and patient tour guide Maria told us interesting stories and history behind the venues we visited, as well as about the cemeteries and morgues that existed within Melbourne's CBD! I discovered some unique and fun venues I never would have gone to had I not gone onto this tour. Thank you for an informative and fun night out!

Amazing tour with Maria - I just had the most amazing time with Maria on the creepy tales tour!
Between Maria, who was a very friendly and welcoming tour guide and the small intimate group it was more like bar hopping with friends then a heavily organised tour.
I absolutely loved it and can't wait to try the other tours up for offer
