Cheese and charm - Fantastic cheeses! Could have stayed there trying more.
Kathy was informative and entertaining. Her tour made me want to come back to Melbourne to try the new places. It would be great if all foodies did this tour before booking any eating out.

Nancy and Tony follow Kathy and love it - We loved Kathy's tour! In fact, I meant to ask if we could stay in touch - if she's willing please give her my email address, which you have. She was knowledgeable, adjusted to our interests and focused on questions we had, was a great conversationalist...we had a marvelous time. I wish I coudl do her Miss Fisher tour (if I had time, I would!). Have already recommended the tour to others.

Taste of Melbourne is delicious - I am a local and I took my mum from overseas on the tour. Kathy was our tour guide and she was fantastic. She has a wealth of knowledge about the restaurants and she links it to the history of Melbourne. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The highlight is the Spring Street Gelato.

Fantastic tour, enjoyable and a great way to get to know Melbourne - It was a very pleasant tour, I got a good idea of the Melbourne life and how the city developed. It was very entertaining and I would recommend it for foreigners but also for locals. It felt like walking through the city with a friend not just with a classic tour guide. It was my partner's and my wedding gift, and I would not have wished for sth else.

Fantastic tour, excellent value for money - My partner and I, both from Melbourne, loved this tour. The pace is relaxed, yet we managed to cover plenty of ground. We were both delighted to learn about hidden lunch spots so close to our CBD offices. Kathy is an excellent guide - we both remarked that she felt more like a hip friend than a tour guide! Highly recommended.

Enjoyable and Informative Tour - What a wonderful tour, Kathy's knowledge and passion for the food scene in Melbourne was amazing. Very pleasantly paced, did not feel rushed at all. Was great to learn the history of the places you’ve walk past a million times before and the ones you never knew existed.
Would highly recommend this tour.
