The tour details are vague and don’t explain the degree and distance of walking and as such not what we expected. A beer pub crawl usually involves breweries in close proximity to each other. The various beers and food were great but the tour guide was personality minus. After the first stop we walked a country mile to stops 2 and 3. Being 4 seniors, this was quite exhausting! Stops 1 and 2 had tables set aside for us. Stop 3 was so crowded with no reserved table so we ended up in the outside garden sitting on metal beer kegs. Our tour guide indicated it would be about a half a mile to the tram in order to return. We decided to use an Uber instead due to the darkness & distance. This was not the tour we expected and it would have been nice to have a guide with a little more enthusiasm, knowledge of beer as well as the area, and concern and awareness of the age of our group and our transportation issues.

Fun tour
Tristan was a great host and we had an awesome night exploring Melbourne. The beer was great and we met some cool people. Loved it
B
Good Beer
Excellent three hours with great beer at the Mill Brewery and fun vibe. The jaffles at Bad Frankie’s are great and host is knowledgeable about all things alcoholic especially Aussie spirits. Finished the night at Foresters beer hall with a Fixation IPA , great beer. Flo was our enthusiastic guide, thanks for the great night.
Operator response

Great Beer and Jaffles!
We had a great time on the tour with Mick. He took my wife and I to a few different bars/beer halls. Our favorite part about the tour was that it was like you were out with a friend, not a tour guide. We had great conversation, great beer, and a great overall experience. After the tour, we went to a nearby brewery and got a private, late night tour of the brewery. Mick went above and beyond and we highly recommend this tour.
Operator response
Thanks so much for your review! One of our aims is to feel you like you are out with a local friend showing you their best spots to visit! Please visit us again next time you are Melbourne.
