Everyone knows Melbourne is famous for it’s love affair with the coffee bean. The cafe culture of the city has grown into one of Melbourne’s most enticing industries. On this Cafe Culture tour, your guide will lead you through the maze of Melbourne’s laneways as you explore how today’s coffee culture evolved – from the coffee palaces of the ‘50s to the abundance of both established and pioneering cafes of today.
This tour gives you the chance to escape the city’s most crowded spots in favour of smaller, less-frequented lanes, hiding away some of the most unique and interesting cafes. Soak up the aroma of roasting coffee beans, whilst tasting the delights Melbourne cafes have to offer.

The only "meh" part of our tour was lunch, but in fairness she chose a gluten free restaurant that was on my list of possible "go-tos." The meh-ness was not her but the restaurant.
I would take this tour with her again in a second. She did a great job and was a highlight of our visit to Melbourne.
Isabel warmed right up to the group and by the end I felt like family. She was very fun to spend the afternoon with.
I would highly recommend doing this day one in Melbourne so you can revisit some of the stores and restaurants you see along the way.
Must do tour to help you get familiar in a new city.
This is a must do, as your first activity in Melbourne, even when arriving on a morning flight. Your Melbourne stay will be so much better when you know the cities secrets.

From Samy & Angela.
& culture from an excellent storyteller was entertaining. Judy is a gem! Her added flair & kindness added a tremendous value to our small tour group of six. Thank you Judy!
small group size was perfect and it is a great way to explore the history and hidden gems
Even having lived in Melbourne (many many years ago) there was so much interesting info to learn.
So many great little alleyways that would be so easy to just walk past without knowing what pieces of magic can be found in them.
We found we learnt a lot about the city and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Best of all was the insider tips on places to visit, restaurants and bars. There really is a plethora of hidden secrets tucked away in the Laneways of Melbourne and this tour is the best way to discover them.
Please Melbourne keep what is left of the beautiful old buildings you have including their interior. They are stunning and once gone.. it’s gone!
Fabulous tour so informative. We learned so much. Thank you!!!

Deanne was so so knowledgable and went out of her way to make the experience very personalised,
Cannot recommend this more
Led by Fi, our knowledgeable guide, we wandered through Melbourne's laneways, unearthing hidden architectural gems and absorbing captivating stories of the city's evolution.
The highlight, of course, was the culinary exploration of Melbourne's renowned laneway restaurants. The selection of restaurants was exceptional and Fi's insights into the chefs and business owners added depth to the experience.
The tour was paced perfectly, allowing ample time to savour each dish and immerse ourselves the restaurant ambience. The small group size ensured an intimate and personalised experience.
There was ample food and perfectly matched wines.
This tour is a must for food lovers!
