Before you book

Why combine food with local history?

The main appeal is discovering Melbourne through its food culture rather than simply visiting restaurants independently.

Reviews frequently praise the guides' knowledge, the balance of history and food and the discovery of places many visitors might not find alone.

What is included and what should you know?

The tour includes a live English-speaking guide, a CBD walking tour, seven tastings, coffee, two savoury dishes, sweets, one drink, Walk Melbourne recommendations and wet-weather equipment.

Extra food and drinks, transport and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. Bear in mind that this is a three-hour walking activity and toilet access can be limited during parts of the tour.

Who is this tour best for?

It is particularly suitable for food lovers, first-time visitors, couples, solo travellers and anyone who prefers a small group.

It may be less suitable if budget is your main priority, if you are not comfortable following a tour in English or if you want full freedom over where and how much you eat.
