Had a great time with Kahlia and Anthony. They kept the tour lively and engaging with stories and snippets of history despite me being the only person on the tour. We visited 4 very distinct bars covering spirits, beers and cocktails and even managed to squeeze in a few games of darts. We great fun overall!
A fun outing

Visiting the Seamstress Bar.
Fyi, the tour could be better if more history about the actual site of each bar was given, as well as someone from each visited bar talking about their respective establishment and offerings. And one final thing, it would be great if every attendee was able to take home their own bar map.
Wear sensible shoes, you’re in for a great time

We totally enjoyed this tour, with Juliet as our guide ~ she was so knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the 3-hours. She also passed on the names of other bars that are worth exploring during our stay in Melbourne. We would highly recommend doing the Melbourne Walking Tour with Juliet.
Gem of a tour and great cocktails

Great walking tour with a great guide. Each bar was fabulous, quirky and unique in its own way. Group probably could have been a bit smaller than 14 to save time at each bar. Thanks to our guide John, we will certainly be recommending it to our friends
Response from Host , Apr 2021
Thanks Jackie! Our normal max group size is 12, but I made an exception and let 2 others overfill this departure because their travel plans changed. I think you're right though — 12 is as much as we ought to take. I'm really glad you enjoyed all the bars, and I hope to see you again soon.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
