The dumplings! - Recommend doing this tour. Our guide was friendly and gave insights into the background of the dumplings we tried out. We visited 4 dumpling places and each gave us the opportunity to try out different styles and flavours of dumplings.

Informative and yummy! - Such a fantastic tour. As a local Melbournian, even I learnt so much about the city and some great local spots to eat delicious dumplings. Our tour guide, Sue, knew so much about each different dumpling and the significance of each dumpling to Melbourne and the Chinese region the dumpling extends from. Fantastic experience, well worth going.

Fun evening - We enjoyed the tour, meeting Monique and of course eating great dumplings. As locals we learnt new things about our great city along the way. The fact that it was an amazing Spring evening also helped. It was really interesting.

Yummy informative night - Went on the dumpling walking tour with 7 other people. We were taken to 4 quality restaurants that we had never considered entering. Our tour guide explained the different provinces of China and the differing types of dumplings. Fun night with plenty of quality dumplings to eat. Learnt so much about the history of the Melbourne settlement of 1800’s along the way too. Fun night out!

Delicious and Delightful Dumpling Tour - We couldn’t recommend this tour and the lovely tour guide higher. Very lovely and relaxed tour guide who was very informative about Melbourne and dumplings. We were a very small group which made for a cosy night and guide was very accommodating about some unforeseen circumstances on our part. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
