This tour was fabulous!! Andrew was our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Friendly, funny, full of interesting historical facts about Melbourne, as well as all of the delicious treats he shared with us; he embraced the group of us as friends. My children and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We appreciated Andrew, the new friends we made who were part of the tour, and exploring delicious foods we’d not tried before alongside of fantastic versions of things we were familiar with. The hidden gems of restaurants we’d never have found on our own were delightful. This made me want to join a food tour on every future trip we take. Only hope future guides will be even half as great as Andrew was. Grateful for a wonderful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our tour host, Robert, did a fabulous job. He was engaging and very knowledgeable about the history of Melbourne and the businesses we visited. The food tastings were all enjoyable, as was the bar we finished up in. It was a great start to our Melbourne trip as we discovered some hidden gems we wouldn’t have otherwise known about. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend this walking/eating tour through the CBD of Melbourne. Our guide Andrew was fantastic, taking us to several off the beaten path restaurants and stalls, while pointing out several others for us to try on our own. . He gave us a brief history of the city, so it was a great introduction to the flavors of the city in every sense! I recently discovered the benefits of walking food tours and now it's the first thing I do when I arrive in any new city. It's a great way to get some background, a lay of the land, and insider knowledge of the best places to eat (besides the obvious tourist spots). Highly recommended!
