What you’ll do

It’s a scientific fact that Melbournians have nurtured the deep-seated appreciation for good craft beer, so you’ll join one such person (aka, one of our local Melbourne hosts) for a craft beer tasting experience.

You’ll be sipping on a medley of Melbourne’s finest hoppy delights from bitter IPAs to crisp and fruity Weiss in no time.

Picture, if you will, flitting between taprooms, microbreweries, hipster beer gardens, and quirky brew houses, sipping on innovative new creations like a raspberry ice-cream pale ale and bourbon barrel-aged wild cherry red ale (or keep things more traditional, if a crisp pilsner sounds more like your vibe).

Pair your brews with pizza from a retro food truck out front of one brewery (we won’t name names yet), popcorn, and other hearty grub that you can eat without putting your beer down, and you’re onto a winner.

At some breweries, you can take a tour of the place and learn about their unique brewing process, at others you’re likely to catch some live music (this is Melbourne, after all, and people know how to have a good time).

So just let us know what your favorite tipples are, what kinda vibe you’d like and we’ll take care of the rest!

    Milo put together a perfect 6 hour day for us hitting the highlights of Kyoto. He has an impressive understanding of Japanese history, customs, and culture. He is easygoing and engages his clients with a show of interest and sensitivity. Very highly recommended for anyone visiting Kyoto.

    I just wanted to express my gratitude for the absolute pleasure from the tour myself and my dad had with Alex. He honestly could not have been any better and we had an amazing experience, hence why I wanted to write this email. I would honestly recommend Alex to absolute anyone no matter the age or background, he was an absolute pleasure. Thank you, Farrel

    I had an amazing time with Sofia! Since I already hit some of the prime sites, we took a drive around to see different islands and things off the beaten path. We then walked around her neighborhood, chatting and sharing stories. What a wonderful way to connect with another person and culture. She gave me recommendations for some extra gifts, took me to her favorite coffee shop, and even met her sweet dog! Very happy with my experience today.

    Ayaka was a delight, she catered the day to not only meet but exceed our expectations. I had my 72yo mother with me, so Ayaka made sure to take frequent breaks and choose entry and exit points at the stations and venues like Asakusa & Uena that were accessible by elevator. She introduced us to the vibrant side of Tokyo with off the beaten path coffee spots, amazing souvenirs stalls at the Ameyoko Street market, and little known food delights at Tsukiji Fish Market. Brilliant private tour! Highly recommend
