Hoteller i nærheden af Hidden Laneways: History & Progressive Lunch

A part of the code that I am not familiar with and great food along with informative tour

Our tour guide Sophia was exceptional!! She was very passionate and went above and beyond to go the extra mile. She cared about us as individuals and delivered a tour that felt curated just for us!! Thank you Sophia for a truly memorable tour!!

We decided to take some out of town family on a foodie tour and got so very much more. Christine was excited to share and show us all around the vibrant and interesting city of Melbourne. From the history, through the culture and influences of immigration we got a comprehensive understanding about all the things that have contributed to making Melbourne what it is today. The quality of information and knowledgeability of the guide made this a truely memorable and inspiring experience. Not to mention the selection of food venues- oh my, so good!!

This showcases the best of Melbourne. Paddock to plate venues, some hidden gems and some quintessentiaal stops all thoughtfully chosen to compliment each other. 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!

The tour we went on was vey good. The guide, Sophie, was excellent. She took us to interesting places with good food and told us lots of interesting and fun facts along the way. There was a lot of food, more than we could eat, so we even had delicious left overs for dinner the next night. We thought it was really good value.

We had Sophia as a guide in the city of Melbourne. Very pleasant knew a lot to tell: tailored the round to our preferences. Would definitely recommend her.

We had Christine as our guide for our foodie tour in Melbourne and it was the best experience we had while in Australia. Christine was wonderful, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the entire day, and took us to some incredible restaurants! Such a fun tour, would recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne.

We started our Foodie Trails tour at the impressive & intriguing immigration museum on Flinders Street, to the west of the city, away from the main train station & across the river from a moneyed symbol of modern Melbourne, the looming Crown Casino. Our engaging, informed & often funny guide Simon takes us through a potted history of the immigration waves into Melbourne over the past century or so & the culture & cuisine that arrived with each of these mainly crowded boats. For the next almost four hours we wandered through architectural wonders - some recognisable some really surprising. A highlight was the Gothic Bank, once the headquarters of the English, Scottish and Australian Chartered Bank, now a major branch of the ANZ Bank. On the food front we had some particularly Melbourne coffee - known as a magic coffee, it’s a ristretto with the bitter taste squeezed out - before sneaking into a Vietnamese restaurant for a delicious rice paper roll. A visit to Shane Delia’s original Maltese/!Lebanese restaurant, Maha, followed, where we were treated to some very slow cooked lamb shoulder. An amble through notable arcades (including a quick stop to sample some chocolate), led us to Chinatown where, at Mr Bo’s, we slurped some yummy dumplings - the famous soup in a dumpling, xiaolongbao, & a spicy pork “ear shaped” variety. Our finale was at a gelato show-stopping hole-in-the-wall at one end of the iconic Degraves Street. Choose your fancy & loosen the belt or buttons on your pants: what a superb end to a wonderful morning & afternoon. This is one of the best food tours we have been on & we’ve tried many at home & overseas.

Great and varied walking good tour with 5 stops. Our guide Sofia was engaging and interesting and gave us dome history sbout Melbourne too! Food was great and the tour lasted about 4 hours

The Foodie Trails team is professional, warm and extremely ‘in the know’ when it comes to Melbourne’s food history and culture. Linking lanes and sights with food, they bring to life Melbourne’s vibrant food scene As a family, it was a great way for us to experience the city in a short time (totally doable for kids ) . The ‘group’ experience was enriching as we got to meet people from all over the world. They truly are bringing people together one delicious bite at a time. Special mention of our guide Sophia and a big thank you to the owner, Himanshi!
