Amazing tour - Did the creepy tales and drinking tour whilst on a holiday in Melbourne. Brigette our tour guide was funny, engaging and knowledgeable about the history of Melbourne as well as the bars that we visited. It was great to hear about parts of Melbourne history that people don’t often talk about.
Highly recommend to anyone in Melbourne

Creepy in the funniest possible way! - Our very knowledgeable and funny tour guide, Brigette, kept us thoroughly entertained for the entire tour. I now know so much creepy, gruesome stuff about Melbourne’s history and enjoyed some delicious cocktails on the way. Thank you Brigette for an amazing evening.

Fun walking tour with interesting stories - Did the creepy tales tour with Maria and had a blast of a Saturday evening. Interesting stories on Melbourne's past, cool hidden side streets, trendy bars and an engaging social atmosphere. A great way to see the life of the city with a local too

3 hours well spent - This is the second tour of Melbourne that we have done and it was as good as the first.
We were fortunate to have Bridgette (Crazy Cat Lady) as our guide on both occasions. She is extremely knowledgeable and tells some great stories about Melbourne, the laneways and bars and the dark past.

Another informative tour - This is the second time we have had Bridgette as our tour guide and her knowledge of all things Melbourne is fantastic. From the historical facts to urban myths and legends, she tells a great story whilst showing you places you would otherwise never discover on your own. Highly recommend!

Perfect activity for solo or groups: interesting stories, fab drinks and a lovely guide! - Brigette is a gun, thank you so much for a fun evening! I highly recommend this tour for visitors as well as locals (like me) who might be curious about local history, creepy stories or just getting to know the city bar scene better! Loved how well the creepy, historical stories tied in with the bars. Our guide was really engaging and funny, I learned a lot while having lots of laughs and delicious drinks - what more could you want!
