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!

This was a great tour to get to know the ins and outs of Melbourne. Our tour guide Chev was awesome. The food was great and so was the company. It was a small group of 9 so that was nice.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour through Melbourne on our first day here. Not only did we get a taste of the foodie culture but we learned a lot about the city! Andrew was a fantastic guide, giving us tons of info about the founding of Melbourne, the historic landmarks and streets we passed, in addition to explaining the backgrounds of the different foods and restaurants we stopped at. Would 100% recommend, especially for newcomers to Melbourne!
