Wonderful,historical cultural, foody tour. - An excellent three hour tour which details the history of Melbourne and its CBD. We were shown wonderful arcades and laneways we would never have discovered ourselves. The food and drink samples were very high quality with great stories about the owners' backgrounds. Dave was an excellent guide. Highly recommend this tour.

A great and informative tour - Chev was excellent, funny and full of information. The food was not overwhelming in quantity but interesting. We appreciated all the history shared with us. It was a nice way to spend 3 hours. I also command her on keeping her composure when a situation occurred in one of the alleys on our way to a food stop. Altogether, highly recommend!

Fantastic food & history tour! Vegetarian friendly - Went on a fantastic food tour with Andrew! The food was amazing (7 stops!!!) and he taught us interesting culinary and architectural history. He also shared great recommendations for the city for all kinds of food and experiences. Highly recommend! My husband and I do a food tour in every new city (Europe, Asia, US) and this one was the best! Andrew easily accommodated for me as a vegetarian, too

History of Melbourne with Food and Drinks - One of the best short tours I've experienced for the money. Our guide Chev gave us a concise history of Melbourne and took us into some very interesting food alleys and places that I had never been before in my previous trip to Melbourne. Her friendly nature and good humor made the tour very enjoyable, and the variety of food and drink stops were just right in terms of the length of the tour. Would recommend this tour for those visiting Melbourne, especially for those whose visit is for the first time.
