5.00This was the very first thing we did on our recent visit to Melbourne. As lovers of all things foodie, we were keen to delve into the culinary side of the city as soon as poss, and boy did this tour tick all the boxes. Kathy was our guide, and we were lucky enough to be the only ones with her that day. She was so knowledgeable and shared interesting stories of the early food pioneers in the city, and how the food scene had evolved, whilst wandering the area and tasting and sampling lots of delicious treats along the way. The three hours went so fast, but we packed a ton in. Can highly recommend this for anyone wanting to learn about the food history of this gastro forward city.

5.00Fantastic cheeses! Could have stayed there trying more. Kathy was informative and entertaining. Her tour made me want to come back to Melbourne to try the new places. It would be great if all foodies did this tour before booking any eating out.

5.00We loved Kathy's tour! In fact, I meant to ask if we could stay in touch - if she's willing please give her my email address, which you have. She was knowledgeable, adjusted to our interests and focused on questions we had, was a great conversationalist...we had a marvelous time. I wish I coudl do her Miss Fisher tour (if I had time, I would!). Have already recommended the tour to others.
