Brillant tour - As recent time immigrants to Melbourne my Husband and I decided it was time to do some bar research. So pleased we did the Hidden Bar tour with San on Friday night. Covering no less than 20 bars ( some we went in to and others we looked from the outside) we went at a leisurely pace for 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed all the knowledge that San generously shared. If you would like a fantastic night out with good company and cocktails this is highly recommended!

A great evening - Great evening - like being with old friends. Met our tour guide Sam who was very punctual and organized.
A small group so very easy to chat and make decisions on which bar to have a drink at.
Sam was knowledgeable and shared insights and stories.
Bars were great, some we knew and others we would never have found on our own. We were able to stop at some and take a peek at others.
Well worth out time and a good evening.

If you are a local you must do this tour! - Kathy took us on such a great tour of the Hidden bars in Melbourne. She just went with the flow. If we wanted to stop and have an extra drink somewhere she was happy to oblige. It was such a great night and as a Melbournian I now know somewhere cool to go for a drink in the city!

The best tour to find the hidden gems of Melbourne. - We had the best time being introduced to the hidden bars of Melbourne.
We live in Melbourne and felt like a tourist in our own town.
San was the best guide so knowledgeable about Melbourne and pointed many things out to us.
Can’t wait to do another tour with MELTours.

Hidden Bar Tour - Amazing! - San was our guide for our Melbourne Hidden Bar Tour and he was fantastic! We went to multiple arrays of secluded venues - even when they didn't have room, he managed to get us a spot. It was our first time in Melbourne so was pointing out other things like good eating and shopping places while we were on tour. He asked what we enjoyed drinking and made sure to incorporate places that would suit us. I'm a travel agent and will absolutely be recommending him to my clients.
