What a great way to experience Melbourne - Our guide Simon was very informative and very knowledgeable. He clearly loves sharing his love of good food and this showed throughout our tour of several locations we visited. We learnt a lot about the buildings in Melbourne as well as trying foods we would never have ventured with before. Can’t recommend Simon enough. Have already recommended him to our Australian friends.

Very knowledgeable guide with excellent taste - Well worth the experience. I only had one evening in Melbourne for a long layover and thoroughly enjoyed this experience. I was so impressed with Simon's knowledge of the food scene in Melbourne. He knew the owners, their stories and interesting tidbits that kept us going. He was very conscious of food allergies and restrictions. He even taught me about some common ingredients that were incompatible with my food allergy!

Gold star for Simon - The guide Simon was knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. He made the experience exceptional! He doesn’t go to the same places for all the food tours, he customizes it depending on group size and availability in the restaurants, as well as based on how the group is feeling. We left feeling very full and much more knowledgeable about Melbourne’s food culture!

Simon was an amazing... - Simon was an amazing guide! He was so knowledgeable about the restaurants, melbourne history, and the local cuisine. It was a blast seeing parts of the city we would not have thought to go to. The food was delicious and filling. Tried Indian, Japanese, oysters, ice creams, and wine with a sommelier. Simon took into consideration our favorite foods and gave us such a wonderful experience. He gave many great recommendations to try afterwards as well!

The Best Guide - This food tour was incredible, we travelled around Melbourne to some amazing spots, eating some of the best food we’ve ever eaten. Our guide Simon was so knowledgeable, entertaining and tailored the tour to the individual members on the tour. We enjoyed it so much we booked the same tour again the next night + went on the bar tour with Simon as well. I’d recommend these tours to everyone and I’d do it again
