Excellent, knowledgeable guide. Very hot but he made sure we were comfortable and not rushed at all. Enjoyed conversations and food samples from the traders. Overall an enjoyable and informative experience.

Charlene C

Good introduction to the Victoria st markets however only a few tastings and not really value for money. Some knowledge gaps on what is at the markets.

TresScalini

We really enjoyed the whole experience. Our tour guide Tristan was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of food to try . Highly recommend

Bruce_M

We visited the South Melbourne markets because the Queen Victoria markets were not open that day. Our guide, Tristan said he was less familiar with these markets but reassured us that they were good to visit. The markets are definitely worth a visit but largely we felt we could have made our own way around them without a guide and would have had just as good a time. Apart from a small number of places where we were welcomed by the owners who talked to us about their businesses and showcased what they had to offer, most shops were just random visits without any pre-arranged presentations. Having done other food tours in Australia and overseas, we were left with the impression that, with more preparation and more dynamic delivery, the tour would have represented much better value for money. Overall, it was disappointing and definitely not value for money.

It gave a different story to the market. I felt we could have seen more of the market. I fell the cost was a little high for what we did.

Kristina_H

The guide was highly knowledgeable in the history of the markets and Melbourne surrounds. The quality of the food offered for tasting was adequate but the variety and quantity was minimal. The tour meeting point was more than 30 minutes walk away from the venue. The cost and title of the tour was very misleading. Congratulations to Tristan for making the best out of a difficult and unrewarding food tour.

Mark_S

Our guide Tristan was so knowledgeable with the history of the background of the food and culture! Really knows his stuff !!

Catherine_W

We enjoyed hearing about local identities and tastings of local food from vendors: magic Melbourne coffee, Greek, deserts teas, &Asian food…. All wonderful!

Katherine D

We loved our tour of Queen Victoria Market led by Tristan! We scheduled this experience for our first full day visiting Melbourne and were so happy we did. Not only did we taste great food, but we learned so much about the market and found ourselves returning a few times over the course of the rest of our trip. It was a great way to orient ourselves. Tristan also gave us a handful of restaurant recommendations that we also tried and enjoyed. (Booked as an Airbnb Experience)

Wasn’t to keen on doing this tour has we had already walked a lot of Melbourne a couple of days prior, I was wrong couldn’t believe how much more I hadn’t seen of Melbourne, Tristan was awesome and we learnt and saw so many different parts of the city if it wasn’t for the tour👍🏻
