The foodie tour was great. Lots of history about the market and plenty of foodie tastings. I’d suggest having a light breakfast cause you will be so full after the tour, you won’t need lunch and maybe dinner! Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable about the market.

Irene was very informative and brought the group together, we enjoyed everything about the tour. Guide, stall holders, information, company, food and drink.

This tour was excellent and a great way to learn about the history and operation of the market, plus of course learning about the "Flavours of Greece" available in the market. Stallholders who shared samples of their produce were very varied and generous together with being entertaining. The Tour Guide, Irene ; a Greek/Australia woman resplendent in Greek national colours was entertaining and informative and conducted a very relaxed tour which made for a great way to spend time to learn about one of Melbourne's must see locations.

Highly recommended- informative, fun and walked away with a full belly of many delights. Met people from around the world, all ages.

The tour guide was very nolagable about the architecture of the Market but the food tasting was very slow in coming. We spent alot of time walking up the fruit and vegies stalls, not tasting anything. We missed the Turkish delight tasting and we started off with a Roo and susage taste. Both were very nice. Oysters were nice. We got to my fav part of food consumption area, cheese, anti-pasto, and dips. Unfortunately there was a mishap and a jar of cappers was broken on the ground, and out tour guide tidied it all up - it took ages. I went off and did my own tasting at an Italian family run stall next door, brought cheese, crackers, dips to take back to the Hotel. While everyone else stood around and watched the tour guide clean up the area. There was also a very nice bakery I got some fresh bead from, keeping an eye on the tour group, all the while doing some tasting and buying. We finished the tour off at a wine shop and it was very nice but the tour guide very quickly left after our second taste. It was a good base tour, where I now knew the Market lay out and could continue to taste and shop. Do not really think the price of the tour was worth what we ended up with.

Couldn't fault it. The guide was lovely and extremely knowledgable. The stories from the various stall holders was delightful and their produce superb. I would highly recommend it to any foodie.

The tour guide was very engaging and the history of the markets was fascinating. We had plenty of samples and it was a good amount of time.

We had a fabulous morning touring the QVM with our guide Sophie. Amazing samples of interesting and delicious food over the 2 hours. Learnt about the history and rich culture of the markets and had some short presentations from some of the stall owners. Especially loved the Muscles, Kangaroo, Australian Cheese Shop, Eclairs, German sausage, Sicilian Gelato. Lots of small samples of food along the way. Would highly recommend this if its a while since you have been to the QV markets.

Fabulous connection with the vibrant and bustling Melbourne icon Queen Victoria Market. Rob our tour guide was fabulous. The traders we visited where overwhelming with their love and dedication to the market and their role in adding to the magic the QVM is. The food was plentiful, varied and delicious. We did not need lunch after the tour. Come hungry! I would highly recommend this tour to locals such as us (Richmond residents) and tourists. I will be telling all my friends about this tour.
