Overview
Melbourne didn't become the world's favourite food city in its laneway cafés. It happened in the neighbourhoods: the market halls, the corner cake shops, the coffee houses, the local pub. This afternoon tour takes you there by comfortable small bus, with tastings included along the way and free time that's entirely yours at every stop.
There's no queueing, no 10,000-step trek and no rush: a guide who knows exactly where to point you, tastings included along the way, and the freedom to wander as much or as little as you feel like. This is where Melburnians really eat.

What to expect
Queen Victoria Market
45m
Start among the calls of the traders at Queen Victoria Market, where a tasting of cheese and cured meats (yes, there's kangaroo) is followed by prawns or oysters fresh off the ice, and time to lose yourself in the aisles.
Fitzroy
45m
Roll on to Fitzroy, Melbourne's oldest suburb, where Victorian terraces and old factory façades now house the cafés, galleries and local designers that had Time Out rating its streets among the world's coolest. This stop is yours to explore.
St. Kilda
45m
Then it's St Kilda for a true vanilla slice, made by a baker who has been perfecting them for 55 years in Acland Street's first cake shop, with time for a stroll to the foreshore.
Port Melbourne Beach
45m
Then it's a drive along the bay to finish with a beer in a true Australian pub that has been pouring them since 1856 and still wears its original charm.
