A fun lesson in Melbourne food and history - We were taken through beautiful old arcades and lanes that had great history. Along the way we had ample time sampling a variety of food/drinks from different cultures. It was great to hear the story of how they established their business. Monica was an excellent guide.

Expert guide, excellent tour - Just wow. Fabulous walking tour included stops at 2 restaurants for food and wine and a final stop for gelato. All stops provided outstanding food. Our guide, Monique, also showed us many historical and architectural highlights of the area. She was very knowledgeable and the pace of the tour was perfect.

More than just a taste of MEL! - Couldn’t imagine a better intro to Melbourne. This was the perfect start to a quick visit from the states. Andrew our guide was hilarious and informative. Still in awe of all the places we managed to visit in such a short time. If you’re only in the city for a few days, this experience is the perfect way to see and taste A LOT.

Second time, just as good. - This is the second time that we have done the Melbourne Foodie walking tour. This time we took along another member of our family. The tour is comprehensive and mixes together talking about Melbourne's unique historical buildings, icons and people of notoriety with some exceptional food experiences. The guide we had this time (Andrew) was well versed in Melbourne's history and you could tell that he has a love for Melbourne and its food culture. The venues that we went to didn't vary from the last time we went. However, that didn't worry us a bit as we looked forward to revisiting every place and experiencing them again. If you are new to Melbourne or just want a really great food tour to do with family or friends, I cant recommend the Melbourne Foodie discovery tour any more highly.
