Great day would highly recommend. Learnt so much about food and highlights of area . Lovely group and great host
Hi Louise, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are thrilled you enjoyed our Foodies Bucket List Tour:) All the very best:)
We had such a great time on the Foodies Bucket List Walking Tour. Colleen was a fantastic guide—so engaging and genuinely welcoming, she made our whole group feel comfortable from the start. Each stop offered something special, with spectacular food across all the venues. It felt really well thought out and beautifully paced. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and delicious experience.
Hello, thank you so much for your lovely review - taking the time to tell us what you thought of our Bucket List Tour. THANK YOU!!!! This is very much appreciated:) Colleen loved touring with you and your group. Thanks again.
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.
Wow! Thank you so much for your very kind words. The pleasure was all mine - I had a ball touring with you:) Thanks again. And thank you for the feedback regarding the post-tour email, much appreciated.
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. This is very much appreciated. We are thrilled you enjoyed touring with us:)))
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.
Wow, thank you so much Penny for your lovely review. The pleasure was all mine. I loved touring with you:)))
Andrew provided excellent instructions for finding the meeting point, which made the start of the tour very easy. The tour itself involved quite a bit of walking, along with a tram ride. Aside from the chocolate at the beginning and the gelato at the end, most of the tastings were seated experiences in various restaurants. We appreciated the chance to sample different cuisines—dishes we likely wouldn’t have tried on our own—even if the flavors didn’t quite match our personal preferences. Overall, we enjoyed the tour, especially the historical insights and the opportunity to taste a variety of foods.
Thank you so much for your review Gail. And wonderful Andrew's instructions were excellent, in getting you to our meeting point. Thank you again:)))
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 to read your review, thank you so much for taking the time:) And we are thrilled you enjoyed our tour. THANK YOU!
Great introduction to the food and culture of Melbourne Ask for Martina if she is available. Perfect host.
Wow!! Thank you Barney for your lovely review. I had a ball with you and Robyn - and all our other foodies on tour:) Thank you so much:)))
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.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Colleen will be thrilled. He loved touring with you both:) Thank you again.
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to 'review' us:) This is very much appreciated. Colleen was thrilled to guide your tour - and loved showing you our Melbourne. Thank you again:)
