5.00I had such an amazing time on the creepy tales tour. It helped me to view Melbourne in a completely different way. Tess was such a friendly, fun and informative guide. The bars we visited were incredible, with some of the best cocktails I've ever tried. And the banter between Tess and her colleague Jay was truly top notch and really added to the overall experience. What marvellous humans they are. I would 100% recommend this tour!

5.00Jay WAS the tour and Melbourne showed us around Jays vivid imagination. Aside from his historic recall and his amiable disposition, Jays facts and theories filled Melbourne’s inanimate with energy and vibrations of years past. And his choice of bars was perfect.
Fabulous double-date adventure!

5.00It was an enjoyable tour. Maria was a knowledgeable tour guide. She also brought us to a couple of super cool pubs (one Alice in Wonderland theme and the other fully hidden Great Gatsby Speakeasy) that we might otherwise never know about.
