It was our privilege and a pleasure to participate in this small group.
The company was also very accommodating to dietary restrictions.
Christine was an excellent tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share the city’s history. I would highly recommend this tour.
Honestly, it was such a treat — our guide Will was an absolute delight and the other guests were great company with wonderful conversation.
Last year we spent three months in Europe and did fifteen food tours. I can honestly say none compared to this one. It made us feel so proud of our incredible city and the amazing produce we have here. And it was lovely to discover something new too.
We can't wait to to book another one!
Perfect tour to dip your toes into Melbourne's food culture.
The highlight of the tour for me was definitely Baha. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere was perfect. If you're looking for a unique and delicious way to explore Melbourne's culinary culture, I can't recommend this tour enough. Thanks again, Christine!
What a great way to spend our first day here!
Thank you !
I highly recommend you book this tour , you won’t be disappointed !!
Food was great and the tour lasted about 4 hours
We explored the story of Melbourne’s growth through its food, starting from her insights at the immigration museum to tasting dishes that reflected every wave of immigration: from fresh oysters and marlin to tender lamb shoulder, delicious dumplings, aromatic spices, artisanal gelato, and of course, Melbourne’s famous “magic” coffee.
It was the perfect tour. thoughtful, delicious, and full of heart. You can truly tell Christine loves what she does. Her logistical planning made sure we never felt rushed. Highly recommend!
taken aro
und to some of Melbourne's best
dining/bar experiences,
Our guide Simon from foodie trails kept
the night interesting and was seamless
in delivering us to our different venues
and tables and ordering a selection of
delicious food while we relaxed and
soaked up each different atmosphere.
Highly recommend the experience!
We ate a variety of food including Australian, Chinese, and Indian, and Christine’s choices for us were ultra delicious, but also were thoughtful and well-balanced, plus sensitive to our preferences.
Another dimension of the tour was Melbourne architecture of which Christine has vast knowledge and appreciation.
By the end of our tour we felt as if we’d spent the day eating and exploring with a dear friend, and a very fun one at that! Another experienced tour guide, Verity, joined us because she was learning for herself more about the food culture in Melbourne. She was also a delight.
Many thanks to Christine and to Foodie Trails for the outstanding and unique journey through this wonderful city.
We began our walk with a hot coffee from a hole in the wall. We walked at a comfortable pace so that Christine could stop and talk about the history of numerous places of interest throughout the city. We went to a variety of eateries. Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Australian and one of my favourites a delectable gourmet cake shop then an to an ice creamery and a gorgeous aromatic spice shop.
Each Restaurant served up beautifully presented fresh food that we all loved. By the time we finished our tour we were not only full, but all felt that we had made friends with our fellow foodies as well as Christine. I would highly recommend going on this great Foodie trail.

A big thanks to our host Christine Guilfoyle. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. She went above and beyond to make our day special and filled with laughter.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, fun and tasty way to explore the food and culture of Melbourne.
The trail's all about exploring the local food scene, meeting the people behind the produce, and enjoying the unique flavors of Footscray. I highly recommend this tour & am telling my friends to give it a go - you won’t be disappointed.
Highly recommend!
It’s amazing the places that you don’t usually go to, or see, in your own city.
Christine was our informative and cheerful guide. We were able to visit places that we had never been, or had overlooked in the past.
We were so pleased that we took the opportunity to do this walk as the architecture of the Victorian times is truly remarkable and the food was delicious.
The stand out was Big Esso by Mabu Mabu. It was a restaurant that we’ve been meaning to go to for ages and haven’t, so that was a big plus, as was finishing the tour with gelato in Degraves Street.
Thank you Christine and Foodie Trails for showing us something new in our own city.
Not one complaint! Himanshi did a great job reading her audience and she kept us all engaged from beginning to end. Her restaurant/food choices and knowledge of Melbourne’s best was top notch!
I can’t recommend Foodie Trails enough!
The trail was a wonderful amalgamation of food with melbournes cultural heritage, highlighting some iconic structures and the history behind it!
The restraunts picked out in this trail held true to their authenticity and told a story with the delicate balance of flavours and their origin! Our foodie guide Christine gave a lot of importance to the comfort of her guests curating an experience suited to a finer palate.
Having not been very adventurous with food myself it was an absolute delight to have made this trip with other fellow foodies!
This is a wonderful way to experience the city and I would love to explore more :)
