Fabulous Melbourne Food Tour - We did the laneways and food tour with Kathy. The tour was very comprehensive and we learned so much about the history of the food found in Melbourne. We even experienced the first expresso coffee bar. I would highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed.

Melbourne food tour - Excellent tour guide Cathy. Very knowledgeable about the city and food history. We were lucky to be the only two the tour. We sampled excellent food and taken down lanes pointing out bars and food venues which we wouldn't have noticed. I would highly recommend.

Kathy - Melbourne Foodie Tour - Kathy was a fantastic host for a Taste of Melbourne Food. Her deep and intimate knowledge of the history of Melbourne and the individual restaurants which comprise its rich food culture was fascinating. On a day that was particularly hot she paid close attention to our comfort, making sure that each tasting stop served us water and that when on the street we were in the shade. This is a great experience that we highly recommend.

Our guide was engaging,... - Our guide was engaging, enthusiastic, and eager to give us an amazing insight into Melbournes food scene. We tasted many different cuisines all of which were delicious. We learned about not only the food itself but interesting stories about the restaurants and the people associated with them. We highly recommend this tour.

A great way to see Marvellous Melbourne! - A wonderful way to see this great city in a whole new light. Kathy was our very well informed tour guide. She was knowledgeable in an interesting way. Lots of different food to try including dumplings and egg tarts in Chinatown and a cappuccino at the iconic Pellegrini’s. We visited all the Melbourne hotspots and even got to meet Guy Grossi outside his (now former) restaurants. If you’re in Melbourne and want to do something a bit different, you won’t be disappointed in this tour! It was great!! Thanks Kathy!

Fabulous tour, well worth doing! - We enjoyed this tour thoroughly! Kathy was kind, interesting and informative. We loved our tastings, from gelato, cheese, dumpling, coffee and egg tart. Lunch at Fed Square was also fabulous. Very happy to do another of Kathy’s tours one day 🙂
