The venues chosen were a perfect mix, the food was fabulous, the drinks (cocktails) were interesting albeit quite expensive however they were premium ingredients. If they had different venues I would jump at doing another tour. The stories told about Melbourne as we passed different venues was incredibly entertaining and it was a night to be remembered for a long time to come.
