This is not just a foodie tour, it’s a cultural tour of the CBD. Our guide Colleen was so welcoming, knowledgeable and fun. We loved our 4 hours with her. The restaurants were exceptional, the food delectable the whole day perfect. Thanks guys 😊
Martina was friendly and engaging with lots of local knowledge, as well as the history of Melbourne. She took us to some amazing places that we would never have found on our own and we tasted some delicious food. We ended being the only couple on the tour on that day, so that made it a very unique, personal experience for us, but we understand there may be up to 8 people normally. We would definitely recommend doing this tour, but do it at the start of your time In Melbourne, so you can go back to some of the places you visit again for a full meal.
Had the best experience on our food tour that not only had delicious unique dishes but we were showed around the city and given a lot of information on the history of Melbourne. Our host (Martina) was excellent and very knowledgeable.
Hi Brian, thank you so much for your wonderful words:) Honestly, the pleasure was all mine.... you guys were a hoot! I loved spending time with you all. Thanks to Jennifer and you for booking our Bucket List:)) Safe travels home....
We had just flown in after two long flights (Boston to LA and LA to Melbourne) and we may not have been as sharp as we would have liked. The food choices were just okay and our guide was excellent, giving us local flavor in our walk around the CBD.
Thank you so much for your review, much appreciated:) Your tour guide Sandra was thrilled to tour with you both:) Thank you for joining our Bucket List Tour! Enjoy Melbourne.
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:)))
