Overview

Melbourne is a mecca for food with an eating culture bordering on the obsessive. But many of these best places are hidden from first sight in laneways and behind doors. This 3 hour small group walking tour lets you experience the best examples of what Melbourne offers. This tour offers the best aspects of Melbourne with the insight of your local guide that you cannot get from a guide book. Drink coffee, eat dumplings, sneak in a sweet treat and finish it off with a drink in a laneway bar the locals love – all included in your ticket price. See all the treasures of Melbourne and often it is said “wow – you wouldn’t even know this was here!” Do this on your first day in Melbourne and you’ll discover a whole lot more places to return to later in your stay!

Andrew was super. He weaved the history of Melbourne in with its food culture very seamlessly. His food choices were excellent and he gave us all a nicely curated of places to go on our own.

This is a must do even if you've been to Melbourne before. Andrew our tour guide was amazing with lots of fun facts about the city and the food was delicious going to places you would usually walk right by or never find.

Really enjoyed the tour, great to get lots of information about Melbourne and going to lots of independent traders. So much food! Definitely arrived hungry. It was only Sherrie our guides 2nd tour but she was excellent and you wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t said. Would definitely recommend 🤩
