Exploring hidden corners

Brilliant way to explore the unknown corners of the city. Jay, our guide, was knowledgeable, informative but, most importantly, entertaining. He filled the night with tales from both the past and present. He took us to three bars that we would never have found and tailored them to suit us. The night was filled with laughter, great vibes and cool cocktails. This tour was a highlight of our trip.

A surprise present for my partner - we loved every minute of the Creepy Tales tour. Jay (aka S-Jay) was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. The bars (and cocktails) were also amazing. We highly recommend DHT. We cannot wait to book with Jay again!
Exceptional! Highly recommend!

I had such an amazing time on the creepy tales tour. It helped me to view Melbourne in a completely different way. Tess was such a friendly, fun and informative guide. The bars we visited were incredible, with some of the best cocktails I've ever tried. And the banter between Tess and her colleague Jay was truly top notch and really added to the overall experience. What marvellous humans they are. I would 100% recommend this tour!

Jay WAS the tour and Melbourne showed us around Jays vivid imagination. Aside from his historic recall and his amiable disposition, Jays facts and theories filled Melbourne’s inanimate with energy and vibrations of years past. And his choice of bars was perfect.
Fabulous double-date adventure!

I really enjoyed the face to face storytelling, walking through the streets of Melbourne learning about the history and discovering Melbourne’s awesome bars! I also really appreciated the First Nations peoples stories. Tess was a fantastic, engaging tour guide!!!
