Nowhere in Australia is this more true that in Melbourne, home to a thriving cafe culture. On this small-group walking tour through Melbourne’s maze of narrow laneways, hear from your local guide the stories of the coffee revolution, from the large coffee palaces in the 1950s to today’s hip boutique coffee bars.

As you walk, enjoy the rich aroma of coffee roasting and smell exotic herbs and spices coming from the cafes. Discover the individual characteristics of each cafe, which together make up the best cafe culture in Melbourne.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Dee was a wonderful guide and shared her knowledge, wisdom, sense of humor and great tidbits of information. She opened our eyes to the cafes and restaurants hidden in the lanes of Melbourne...we would never even have known they existed. Our samplings were delicious, whether coffee or sweet treat and lunch was a special surprise in another hidden away restaurant.

I really enjoyed the tour; there were only two of us on the tour plus the guide so I guess that made it all the more interesting and friendly. I really enjoyed the chat and the titbits we had along the way were beautiful, especially the Koko Black chocolate. We visited several of Melbourne's coffee haunts and had lunch at a quirky place that served us a very nice light lunch (I had chicken with avocado and asparagus salad) and fresh lemonade. Surprisingly though, our guide left before we started eating - I assumed she would stay longer.

This was so enjoyable as a local melbournian as we got to learn about the coffee history and culture but also about architecture and many hidden secrets! Jess and Harriet were amazing guides with fantastic knowledge and personalities. We felt by the end we had made some new friends! Highly recommend this tour and can't wait to take some of the others on offer

Excellent introduction to the city history, culture, and cafes. Jess was awesome. Very informative, and excited to share her knowledge. We visited several local cafes to try different kinds of coffees and ended up having an awesome lunch at a trendy place. We are glad we started our day with this tour.

There were 4 of us on a lovely sunny day and we enjoyed being taken across Melbourne's sights, history, laneways and of course coffee hot spots. Our guide was relaxed and engaging with her knowledge and personal insights. Lunch was also included, so it was good value. Recommend.
