Andrew with Walk Melbourne gave a great walking food tour of Melbourne’s CBD. Excellent knowledge of history and architecture of Melbourne and delicious selection of different food stops along the way. Highly recommend!

This was our first walking food tour and it has wetted our appetite for more. Rob was an excellent guide and not only provided background about each of the establishments we visited but also provided interesting history about the location. Wonderful way to explore a city and visit many parts you previously could have ignored.

Good thing to do after arriving Melbourne while waiting for your hotel room to be ready. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Food was good and nice variety. Guide pointed out where one can go to try kangaroo and other Australian foods.

Fantastic experience! Will be doing more. This experience shaped the rest of my trip, it was essential to having a great city break. I learnt about the city, its streets, lanes & alleys & of course the best places to eat and drink. Our guide (Chev) was so incredibly helpful with tips & advice & her knowledge was amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne.

Lovely tour for both learning about Melbourne history and eating some tasty treats! Everything was delicious and we went to places I would not have found without a guide.
Karen_T, Oct 2025
Fabulous trip to do on our 1st day in Melbourne. It gave us a great deal of information about the city, its history and we tasted foods from vendors we would have been unlikely to find ourselves. We had a great guide who gave us loads of tips about getting the best from our stay.
