Best Food Tour Ever! The Foodies Bucket List tour was the PERFECT food tour! We were lucky enough to be guided by This Is Melbourne's owner and had a truly wonderful time. The length of the tour, variety of stops, and snippets about the history of Melbourne were all fantastic! We really felt like we got a great peek into the culture of the city, saw amazing sights, and ate wonderful food. We were given a bunch of ideas for other restaurants to visit and returned to a few tour stops for more. I only wish we'd had more time in the city to eat a dozen more meals! Learning about a city through its food is the best way to travel, especially when you can land on the local favorites and hidden gems that this tour specialises in.
The only (slight) bummer was that we had a little trouble receiving our post-tour info due to some technical glitches with messages going through Tripadvisor. If I could do it again, I'd just book directly through the tour operator and would recommend others do so as well.

Cosmopolitan Melbourne Great food, sites and restaurants. If you're just visiting, or have lived here all your life, this tour is a wonderful way to experience what Melbourne has to offer.

One of the best food tours we’ve done We thoroughly enjoyed this food walking tour. Martina was a super guide. She was warm, genuine, enthusiastic, and generously shared he knowledge of Melbourne and the eating scene. She gave us lots of recommendations for our upcoming days in Melbourne. We enjoyed every bite at every venue. She had curated a nice variety of venues.

A great way to tour the Melbourne side streets and discover fantastic food The guide was really informative about not only the food but Melbourne itself. There was a great selection of eateries and samples to try.

Wonderful tour! We had a wonderful tour with Colleen. It turned out that my husband and I were the only people on the tour, so Colleen was able to give us a lot of information about Melbourne's history, the architecture, and unique sites, along with the wonderful tastings we would have never found otherwise. A great experience that we highly recommend.

Melbourne delivered! A wonderful way to get to know a city. We had heard that has a good food culture. Melbourne delivered totally. We were a group of 3 and our guide Coleen hade time to answer all of our questions. The food at our stops was excellent and Coleen pointed out many restaurants along the way that my wife and i were interested in visiting during our remaining time in Melbourne. Our guide Coleen had a good knowledge of the city and pointed out many places of interest. In our opinion it is good to start any visit to a city with a personal guided tour. You get insights into the city that you don't get in a brochure or bus tour. The price of the tour was not the cheapest on offer, however 4 hours was a good amount of time to spend looking around and we felt we really got value for our money. We would warmly recommend this walking tour to anybody visiting Melbourne.

Foodies tour in Melbourne Excellent experience to discover the lanes of Melbourne and some unique tasting opportunities. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Great day around Melbourne w delicious bites What a great day to walk around Melbourne and learn about the history and some fun facts. The tour was wonderful and our guide delightful. The food choices we had were delicious and plentiful! I would absolutely sign up for this again.

Unique and tasty Our tour today with Sandra was amazing! She was a great tour guide. She gave us history and cuisine. We did a total of 8 tastings. The Argentina restaurant was our favorite. Tasty empanadas and chorizo. The Asian fusion was unique. The gelato was very good. The street art was the best ️ thank you very much

Cuisine and culture! A well-curated tour of Melbourne's international cuisine, with a fun stroll through the city's charming and artistic laneways. Highly recommended.

Fantastic, would definitely recommend this tour! Themis tour was fantastic! Marti was lovely. There was a great mix of history and foodie facts! The food was delicious and we hit some major landmark spots along the way. Additionally, my husband and I had a car breakdown just before our tour and Marti was so flexible and figured out how to get us our tour and food tastings!

Look elsewhere- not worth the hefty price tag Very disappointed with this tour. Very expensive for average places I would not return to. Guide had only a basic knowledge of areas we visited. She also ate our food!

A great way to get to know Melbourne and its hidden gems. Fab food with knowledgeable guide. Whilst I have been in Melbourne a few days Sandra, our guide pointed out lots of hidden gems in the arcades, different parts of the city and the street art. And especially taking us to 5 superb eateries - all different from chocolate to Peruvian food. Definitely recommend.

A must do when visiting Melbourne If you enjoy great food and drink, this tour is an absolute must while in Melbourne! Our guide was fantastic—treating us to an array of delicious bites, refreshing drinks, and a fascinating crash course in Melbourne’s history. The perfect way to explore the city through its incredible culinary scene. Highly recommended

Tourist in your home city - Melbourne A wonderful experience being a tourist in your own city. Great day spent wandering the streets, laneways & arcades. Beautiful food street art and information about Melbourne’s history & migration patterns and its impact on the diversity and quality of cuisines in Melbourne. Notably Koko Black, Movida, Lucy Lui, Pastuso and a delightful finish with fresh gelato and sorbets at the Grocer! Beautiful food pairings with wines and a cheeky cocktail or two! (Own cost) Highly recommend

Wonderful, informative experience through Melbourne cuisines. We had a great time on our foodie tour with Martina. She’s very knowledgeable and personable. We never would have found these locations and experiences on our own. Well worth the time and price for this great walking tour!

Yummy, Cool, Exciting, Differetn Was a really nice experience. Have never been to Melbourne before so it was nice to tour around the city eating amazing and different food I wouldn’t normally eat. Was a small group so felt more intimate than getting lost in a big group. Overall, very good tour and great food

Perfect combination of food, history, and overview of Melbourne. This is a must for any foodie or even any visitor to Melbourne. We were a group of 8 friends, and each one gave this experience 5 stars!!!

Great Melbourne Experience A fabulous day with a great variety of venues / food experiences that otherwise would not be possible.
We had a great guide - Colleen - who had a great vibe.
Highly recommended.

Excellent This was a great little tour of downtown Melbourne and the food was amazing! Ideal if you want to get a look around downtown and sample some excellent local restaurants.

Excellent value What a wonderful tour! The food was amazing and Colleen was a fantastic guide! Colleen is so knowledgeable about Melbourne and it was an added benefit to truly get to know Melbourne’s history and learn more about the beautiful buildings we walked past! I would highly recommend getting a true taste of Melbourne with this tour!

Wonderful way to spend an afternoon in Melbourne. Great afternoon wandering the laneways of beautiful Melbourne, with some fabulous food and drinks along the way. I was surprised by the amount of different food tastings. I think there was about 12 different tastings in the 5 establishments we stopped at. Met some nice people and had a great day in the city.

Foodie walking tour The food walking tour we did was great - we learnt about the history of Melbourne. We would never have found some of the restaurants tucked away down lanes - the food was first class and catered very well for vegetarians- would definitely recommend

Amazing Christmas celebrations! We had an amazing time! Martina was engaging and very genuine and we loved having her as our guide. Its was a Christmas function to remember :-)

Easy feasting and easy walking. Martina took us on a wonderful 4-hour foodie ramble. Best tip: don't eat before you take the tour. There is plenty to taste along the way. We enjoyed sweet treats, Australian chocolate, Asian fusion, Spanish, Peruvian, and got loads of sneak peaks and ideas of places to eat. Martina easily weaves tasty historical info into the tour. Glad we did this at the start of our trip so we can head back to some of the places she showed us.

A tastebud sensation! What an eye opener! Loved weaving through the laneways filled with culinary delights. Surprises at every turn. A great range of modern Australian tastes to excite the tastebuds. Thank you Colleen for a most informative and relaxing day in great company!

Eating our way across Australia Colleen was a great host, and the venues we visited were great.
She made sure they knew my dietary requirements and emphasised my nut allergies.

Great tour, delicious food Terrific tour with our amazing host Colleen!
An ideal tour for our first day in Melbourne, allowing us to see and learn about the city, and taste some delicious food.
Food stops were varied, and there was plenty of great quality food.

Collen was fun, informative, and knew her city well - a great host!

A wonderful introduction to discover more of Melbourne! Fantastic walking foodie tour! History, of Melbourne, quirky laneways & restaurants, varied quisines & amazing high quality tastings & plenty of them! Highly recommend this tour! Worth the cost!

Excellent Great experience. Just the right amount of history, stories and excellent food. Martina loves her City of Melbourne. Thanks.

Do the tour! I appreciated the mix between history/stories and visiting amazing buildings in Melbourne and the visits to food places. My group did a chocolate tastings, then to Spanish, Asian fusion, Peruvian and ice-cream with a twist. A small group of delightful people, with a great guide. The food was so different to what I have had before - a revelation. And the great thing is, I live close to Melbourne, so I can go back to all the places we visited.

Thanks to Sandra and my fellow foodies - lovely day. Clare

Bucket Lost Foodie Walking Tour of Melbourne Excellent walking tour with historical highlights. Very much enjoyed the Chocolate, Spanish, Modern Asian and Peruvian dishes (and paired cocktails!) we sampled and the Filipino Artisan Gelato. Highly recommend this experience.

Foodie walking tour A lovely friendly tour with Colleen - she was knowledgeable and interesting. We had a mix of stops plus an explore of the lanes and arcades of Melbourne. Highlights were tapas of anchovy and tomato sorbet, gelato and amazing honey chocolate

Great fun and great value! Had an absolute blast! Our guide Colleen was very knowledgeable and fun. We took this tour so it would give us an idea what was around the City and what places to go to during our stay. Highly recommend doing this tour especially if you don't know your way around Melbourne.

A fun afternoon The tour was 10 times better than expected. Great food and good craic with Colleen as our guide. Pleasant pace and enjoyable choices.

10 stars!!!
Martina took us on a brilliant walking food tour today. We visited 5 delicious locations, and did 6 different tastings - from stand up coffee, cheese and gelato tastings, to sit-down Asian fusion and Mexican restaurants. It was all well chosen and exquisite. But in addition to this, we were treated to a walking tour of Melbourne and it's history. Marti's knowledge is rich, and delivered in such a natural and engaging way.
Highly recommend!!!

Good interesting tour Started with a couple of samples in a chocolate shop in the lanes, followed by a couple of delicious tapas dishes at a Spanish restaurant (enjoyed so much we went back later in the week for lunch), then on to a Chinese restaurant where we had two more delicious dishes. Final restaurant was a Peruvian one with two.more dishes, nice but not nearly as special as the first two restaurants. Finished off the tour with an ice cream. Tour guide was very informative and we saw a lot of very interesting sights that we would not have experienced on our own. Overall a really good tour.

Great food, sites, and stories about Melbourne! Thank you Martina for a wonderful, informative and delicious tour of Melbourne city. We learnt interesting facts and stories about the city, restaurants and food and ate very well! Would definitely recommend this tour to visitors and locals.

great day! Loved it. I am a Melbourne local and it was fantastic to learn more about the city, find some great places to go visit and meet new people. Our guide was super knowledgeable, sharing info not just about the places on the tour but other restaurants and events too.

Outstanding guide and knowledge...awesome 4 hours throughly recommend this She was outstanding we walked a while and went to several different restaurants to sample there cuisine but on the way was several lane ways and awesome art to look at throughly recommend this tour as she is extremely knowledgeable and great to talk to I wish we had done this the first day we had arrived in Melbourne as si many places to go and see..

Amazing glimpse into the food experience in places we would not normally stumble across. Wonderful return information. Martina was so knowledgeable about the history of Melbourne, laneways, arcades and local food producers.
We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend.

Food Tour - not to miss! We loved our tour last week visiting some usual Melbourne restaurants - definitely wouldn't have picked them without the help of Martina. She was super knowledgeable and we had a great time exploring both the food and drinks in Melbourne CBD. I particularly loved stopping at a Peruvian restaurant and discovering the Pico Sour! We loved it so much we went back a few nights later for dinner. Thanks Martina for a wonderful tour around the city!

Delicious experience! Loved the tour!!! Such awesome vegan options at some of Melbourne’s finest!! I particularly enjoyed the beetle leaf with pineapple and tofu - yummm! Marty was so knowledgeable about Melbourne’s history and food scene and such a warm and friendly guide, willing to help with any questions! Would highly recommend to any foodies (both vegan and non)! Thanks so much :)

Family Food Tour Fun day with my family. A small group was a bonus. Guide had informative information about the area. Nice restaurants which were all accomodating to my dietary needs. Just thought that the restaurants were going to be a little different rather than mainstream restaurants that I had already visited all but one

Spot on. Informative, nicely paced, lovely food. A great way to get to know more about your own city and it’s hidden gems. Would highly recommend.

Awesome foodie adventure! The tour guide was very welcoming and had a wealth of knowledge about Melbourne's history, the restaurants she took as too as well as been very interested in us. Our adventure included Spanish, Asian, Peruvian and a ice cream desert what what made it so enjoyable were the guide and my fellow tour members. This was a great introduction to where to go in Melbourne town!

Recommend it!! I enjoyed every moment of it. Not only you can taste the foods, but also culture and the history. The whole tour helped me to know more about Australia! Sandra was very good in explaining.

Wonderful tour We had a wonderful tour with Colleen. She’s lived in Melbourne for many years and shared lots of interesting tidbits about the city and culture during the tour. We had the opportunity to try a wide range of food (desserts, Spanish, Argentinian and Asian fusion). Each of the dishes were unique and delicious. Great way to spend a day and familiarize yourself with the city.

A gastronomic tour of Melbourne! We had an excellent time on the tour. We were very lucky as it ended up being a private tour. Our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable - we learnt masses about the history of Melbourne as well as lots about the food of Melbourne. We enjoyed delicious chocolate, pork potstickers, a range of SE Asian delicacy’s, Peruvian food and finished with gelato. They also dealt really well with my nut allergy. Thanks for an informative and tasty tour of Melbourne.

Wow! Our fantastic guide was a 7th generation Australian with an intimate knowledge of Melbourne and its history.

The highlight for me was discovering hidden away restaurants that only the locals know about. Places you would never discover on your own.

The food itself was fantastic!

The tour really highlighted what culinary magic can happen when ingredients from a rich and vibrant multicultural restaurant scene are mixed with the unique tastes of Australia.

Great experience Great walking food tour of Melbourne. Guide extremely knowledgeable & personable. Went to 3 great places I never knew existed & food was wonderful!

Thoroughly enjoyable day with like-minded people who love food! Brilliant tour with fellow food lovers. Perfect amount of food stops and walking. Great to have a bit of time at each stop. Our guide Sandra shared so much about Melbourne - not just food.

Amazing food and history of Melbourne Thank you so much for the amazing food tour throughout Melbourne's gorgeous laneways! My husband and I travel to Melbourne quite regularly, but having someone show us the hidden gems and tell us about the history of the city was great. Each stop/restaurant was a foodie delight and I highly recommend getting the drinks package - matching cocktails with each course was delicious (and also cost effective). Thanks to Martine and the team for such a fabulous day. We truly earned an afternoon nap!

A fun afternoon exploring Melbourne's best Our group of eight really enjoyed the four hour food tour. It's a great way to explore Melbourne's many laneways and secrets. There was plenty of delicious food. A great way to spend an afternoon.

A tasty journey Recently had the pleasure of taking the bucket list tour with Marty and loved it. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide who provided insight to both the food on offer and the city of Melbourne. We navigated laneways and stopped at hidden gems we wouldn't have found otherwise making this a highlight of our time in the city.

A Flavourful Awakening A delicious and informative experience. It was so great to learn so much history of the city I live in. Walking through the laneways and arcades of Melbourne was so much fun and really beautiful. Every bit of food we had was amazing and such a great variety of flavours. The guide Martina was super friendly, funny and had great stories.

Delightful! We loved every moment of this tour! It was well paced but left us time to take pictures and ask questions in between absolutely delicious meals. The food was delightful and well chosen - nothing we would have just stumbled across on our own. While touring, Martina pointed out the history of the sights and the food places, along with other food places to try. Bonus points for being just as delicious despite accommodating my vegetarian diet. An absolute delight.

Great Experience This was a really nice tour to do at the beginning of our trip to Melbourne. We learned how to navigate the city, where the best restaurants are, when we need a reservation and when it's okay to walk in. And as a bonus we also learned a lot about the history of Melbourne and its food. One of the many highlights was Gelateria Primavera, where we go to try some great cheeses from a local cheese monger.

Amazing Melbourne Food Tour We did a Melbourne Food Tour with Martina as part of one of our Yoga Events, and we absolutely loved it. The food was amazing! Martina's knowledge of the city and its food culture was incredible, and it was such a fun way to experience Melbourne in a different way. Oh, and the floating market cocktail at Lucy Lui's was to die for! Highly recommend.

We did a Food Tour with Martina today following a yoga class at Skydeck as part of one of our day events, and we absolutely LOVED it. Martina’s knowledge of Melbourne city, and its fabulous food culture, is amazing. The food was fabulous, as was the floating market cocktail we had with our lunch stop. Highly recommend!
