Whether you're solo or with a crew, you'll walk between bars at a relaxed pace, sampling finger food along the way. Unlike commissioned tour operators, your guide takes you to places they'd genuinely recommend to mates.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide and a small group (solo travellers welcome) before heading into Melbourne's backstreets. Expect a leisurely walk between three confirmed bars, each with a distinct vibe and clientele. Your host will chat about the venues' histories and point out nearby shortcuts, heritage details, and other spots worth returning to. Finger food appears at some stops. You'll order and pay for drinks directly at each bar—no hidden markups. The pace suits all fitness levels; there's no rushing or excessive walking.
