5.00Our guide (Troy) was well informed about Melbourne’s history and the lesser known places to visit to experience Melbourne’s abundant food/coffee/wine culture. He had an easy going style and made the tour feel like e we were all friends out for the day. Heat experiences and good value. We’re are from Melbourne and went to places we’ve never been to.

5.00We had a great day with Jeanie, there were only 5 of us so it was a small group. We sampled several items and it was just enough for a complete meal. We even got to do a wine tasting which was lovely. I would highly recommend this tour!
Exceptional food experience!
