Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour

Great Food Tour

Really enjoyed the tour today, Russell was a great host and was very informative. The food selections were lovely and all the staff at the various stops were friendly and attentive. Would certainly recommend

Excellent

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

Loved it.

What an exceptional day. Colleen is a wonderful tour guide. Not only was the food incredible, we got to see some of Melbourne's amazing street art in the many laneways we visited. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and one that I would highly recommend.

Highly recommend

This was one of the nicest food tours I have been on! The food was excellent, very high quality and awesome variety, also gave us a great list of restaurant recommendations, and showed us some great parts of the city. I’m coming back with my husband soon and am going to do this again - highly recommend

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.

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

Highly recommend

A memorable day of great food and excellent company with my tour group participants. Our guide Sandra was well scripted with local knowledge and knows a thing or two about where to eat! Food portions start off as snack and progress to moderate. I was very full by the end of the tour however larger appetites may be left wanting more.

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

Exploring and eating around Melbourne

This tour took me to venues that I just would not have found myself - chocolate, Spanish, Asian fusion, Argentinean and gelato. A great day exploring and eating my way around Melbourne.

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.

Foodies Bucket List is the best tour I have ever done

This is the best tour I have ever done. I have been holding onto the memory of my favourite tour in Vancouver, Canada but this Foodies Bucket List in Melbourne is now on top. Our guide was super enthusiastic and passionate. We discovered the history, explored all the laneways and ate generous portions of delicious food. I was amazed at the value for money. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Melbourne.

Excellent Food Tour -- And More

This is an informative walking tour through the CBD of Melbourne. The food stops were excellent and higher-end restaurants. Sandra provided an excellent narrative, explaining each eatery and each food that we sampled. In addition, Sandra was well informed about the history of the city which added to the tour immensely. Our group was small, so we were able to easily dialogue with our Guide. We highly recommend the Foodies Bucket List-Walking Tour.

Great experience

Martina was fabulous! She took great care of us all, while walking and in the restaurants. She told us so much interesting information about the city.

Must do tour !!

Sandra was great … we had a great time and great food !!! Learnt a lot about our own city . Must do tour ….. plenty of fun and food

Taste , Colour, Flavour and Fun

What a amazing few hours we had. Martina our Guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. You felt like you had known her forever. The choice of venues to visit complemented each other and flowed from one to the next. All the food was DELICIOUS. It was great to try things that normally you would probably gloss over and not try. Truly a Taste sensation tour. Worth every Dollar. The history and the lane ways were amazing and it showed that you should not judge a door by its paint job. Dont walk past GO IN !!!!

Great Way to See and Taste Melbourne

We recently returned from 24 days in Australia and New Zealand. Although we enjoyed many tours on and off our cruise in both countries, being shown around Melbourne with Martina from "This is Melbourne" was a highlight. We were lucky to have her all to ourselves, but I have no doubt that her larger group tour is equally impressive. She offers great insight walking around the town and when you reach the next restaurant, a reserved table is waiting for you and their delicious specialties are brought over quickly. Touring with "This is Melbourne" is like being shown around by a good friend.

Great food

Thank you for a lovely day, our tour guide Colleen was wonderful, even being Victorian we learnt some new things about Melbourne. It was great walking up laneways and arcades that we didn’t even know existed and trying different foods.

Great food, and an all-round good time.

Russel was a great guide. He had lots of information about Melbourne, its food spots, and history. He kept us engaged, got the entire group to come together and enjoy ourselves like we were old friends. All the eateries we visited were outstanding, and Russel ensured that the dietary restrictions that a few of us had were taken care of.

Yummy!

Very enjoyable, food was wonderful and varied. The guide, Colleen, was very informative and the walk interesting.

Melbourne foodies

This was a wonderful tour! Our guide, Sandra, was fabulous and took us to such charming little out-of-the way places that we would never have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour!

Sandra is wonderful !

Walking through all the lanes and the food tastings Sandra was wonderful helping me find a lift to avoid some steep stairs.

Great foodtour!

Nice way of learning more about Melbourne. We had a nice walk, took the free tram and tasted really great food. Sandra is great guide!

Solo travellers dream tour

Colleen did a fabulous job showing us around the lane ways and restaurants of Melbourne. Traveling on my own, this was such a safe and enjoyable way to learn more about the CBD with no worries about getting lost. I could not recommend this tour highly enough.

Great way to spend an afternoon

It was a fabulous afternoon, great background information, great venues with delicious food and cocktails and I met some wonderful people.

Delicious food

We had a great time. Our guide was fun and informative. We went to great restaurants and tasted delicious food. Exactly what we were looking for

Great Tour

This is our first time in Melbourne. Colleen gave us great information on the city and some additional suggestions for things to do while we are here. Great restaurants and excellent food. The portion sizes were perfect.

Tasty and insightful

Lovely dumplings, cool cocktails the guide knows her stuff and has an amazing amount of general knowledge about Melbourne.

Finding new places to go...

Finding new places to go out eat yummy food But I did find the tour more a history tour more than a foodie tour We only went to 3 restaurants and a ice cream place I was very disappointed in the amount of food we god It was all on entree sizes and we shared between two people I though we would have good more food and lest history of Melbourne Maybe you need to call it Melbournes foodie/ history tour and people my think twice about going on it It might have been more interesting if you where holidaying from overseas but for us we go to Melbourne and know a bit about the history of Melbourne So yes once agin very disappointed and wouldn’t recommend it I thought there would have been more food

Absolutely wonderful

I would highly recommend this tour. It was like going around the city learning with a group of friends. History, great food, beautiful views and insights into the Melbourne food scene.

Melbournes Best Tour

Loved the food, loved the company and tour leader was first class. Made our trip to Melbourne very memorable. Will definitely do this again next time we are in town.

The best culinary and historic tour of Melbourne!

Martina was an amazing guide! She knew so much about the history of Melbourne and it was a joy to share in her delight of delicious food. It was the best tour from our whole trip and we couldn’t believe how much we were able to eat, drink and experience the throughout the tour through Melbourne. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, and would do again!

Phenomenal

Our guide was perfect. The food was layered, rich, indulgent and intriguing. I have been on many food tour and this set the bar high.

A Delicious Experience

Martina was an excellent guide, not only introducing us to wonderful food places but also telling us about their background and snippets of the history of Melbourne. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all participants: overseas travellers, visitors from other States and regional Victoria and even those from Melbourne. Recommended.

Great tour!!!!

This was a great way to see and learn about Melbourne. The food choices were delicious. And loved seeing different parts of the city.

Great way to learn about Melbourne and Australia

The different foods we ate were all delicious. And learning more about Melbourne and Australia in the process added to it.

I had so much fun and...

I had so much fun and Martina, our guide, was amazing. We enjoyed the most delicious food accompanied by very interesting information about Melbourne.

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.

Fabulous experience!

Martina was lovely! She made us all feel comfortable and special. We made friends on our tour. we learned a lot and had great food and a great time

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!

Nice food but too long travelling between places

Good small group tour and some new insights about Melbourne. Food was nice (Spanish, Argentina, Thai and gelato) but not sure if bucket list worthy. Majority of the time was spent travelling between places - walking and trams. Could have been planned better

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

Foodie tour

This was one of the best food tours that my husband and I have been on. Coleen was very knowledgeable! We had great food that started with delicious unique plum chocolate to wonderful boa buns and ending with magnificent chocolate and salted caramel gelato. There was a small group that also made this fun! I would recommend this experience!

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.

Great food and tour

Nice mix of different food cultures. Easy walk. Good knowledge of the foods mixed with interesting facts on the history, streets, buildings and architecture. Would recommend as we have already gone back to a few of the venues for a full dining experience.
