Creepy Tales, Bars & Laneways of Melbourne Walking Tour - We recently joined the "Creepy Tales, Bars & Laneways of Melbourne Walking Tour" and had an absolutely unforgettable experience. Brigitte, our tour guide, was phenomenal! Despite being the oldest in our group, we felt incredibly included and had a fantastic time.
Brigitte's storytelling was top-notch, sharing creepy stories that even some locals might not know. The tour took us to three hidden bars and some delightfully eerie spots in Melbourne, making it a unique way to explore the city's darker side.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne. Don't miss out on the chance to uncover its hidden, spine-chilling secrets!

Super interesting and fun! - I highly recommend taking this tour and count yourself lucky if Bridgette is your tour guide! She was super personable and knowledgeable. The tour is well curated so all stops were interesting and she was wonderful about answering questions. The bars she took us too were so cool! Definitely a good way to get your feet wet if you're in Melbourne for the first time.

Best birthday present idea - Lenny was the best tour for our tour. My friend and I did this together and we learned so much and really enjoyed all the fun facts. We have both done a few tours now and Lenny was by far the best one we have had as he also took the time to get to know all the people on the tour as well. 10/10 recommended and would love to do another tour with him!

Book it - you will not regret it! - Tom and Harley were fantastic guides and very passionate about history! The tour was very fun and is a great thing to do for any couples or solo travellers. The bars were fantastic and not something you would just stumble across yourself.
