We had so much fun!! We were taken to Collingwood to visit 3 different breweries who were all unique. Tristan was a fantastic guide who also recommended a delicious falafel place after. Great, small group experience.
Great tour! Tristan was a very good guide Got to find a lot of new spots in Melbourne, good local ethical businesses :) thanks very much
Tristan was excellent (!!!) and a wealth of knowledge, great sense of humour and easy to get along with. This tour was really fun. Our group had an excellent time and would definitely book another tour like this. Highly recommend, if you can get Tristan as a tour guide!!
We had a very nice time with Tristan. He took us to some interesting places and we really enjoyed the beers we tried. We got to know a lot about beer as well as the places we visited.
A must do! Great information, great time. Be prepared to walk, but get to see super cool neighborhoods of Melbourne that you might not see! Great guide!
Great beer tour! Tristan really took the time to explain the craft beer history of Melbourne and got to know what kind of beers I like. And the three breweries were all amazing.
I want to congratulate waitress Marielly because she really made our service different this time my daughters were super happy with the deal and she was super attentive unlike all the boys. Congratulations!,
Tristan was brilliant with his knowledge and guidance around Collingwood. And of the brewery’s we went to. Each brewery was welcoming and chatty as well.
There was no memorable part, our tour guide was unenthusiastic and not knowagable. The tour would’ve been better if we had a different tour guide who actually knew what he was talking about and more enthusiastic.
Hello Courtnie – Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are sorry to hear that this tour was not memorable for you and you felt this due to the tour guide. Your experience is important to us and I will be liaising with our operators to further investigate your concerns. We will be in contact shortly via email. ** Courtnie, would you mind reaching out to us via email at customercare@intrepidtravel.com** Kind Regards,
We did get to taste some beer. However, we did not learn much about beer tasting in the sense of learning how to appreciate differences between different kind of beers.
