Walk Melbourne Tours

Fantastic experience: Great value for money. Learn Melbournes history while enjoying amazing food locations you would never know about! Monique our guide was personable and ensured all our offered food was multicultural and offered plenty of choice for us. The small group size meant we had time to enjoy each other’s company while savouring the options offered.

Fantastic experience: Great time. Very informative and everything we ate or drank was very good. Finishing at a bar was the icing on the cake. Chev was our guide and made the whole thing enjoyable

Fantastic experience: My husband and I visited Australia for the first time recently. While in Melbourne, we did the food walking tour - it was wonderful! We walked around the city and learned a lot about its history and culture. We had the best time! Everything we sampled, including coffee and fresh dumplings, was delicious. We enjoyed a variety of savory and sweet items throughout the tour. I highly recommend a Melbourne tour with Chev! She is a great tour guide!

Fantastic experience: I did the Coffee Walking Tour with Monique and had a wonderful time! Monique was incredibly knowledgeable and informative and took us to many great places to taste lots of different types of coffee that she had already briefed us about. The tour was smoothly ran and you can tell Monique is a true local as everything was professional, thorough and well done! Thanks for a great time and thanks to the other wonderful people on the tour! It was a lovely day and the weather made it even nicer in the end!

Fantastic experience: Monique led us on a great coffee tour of four amazing and unique coffee shops. We had amazing drinks of our choosing at each one and learned a ton about coffee and Melbourne’s rich coffee heritage. A few pics below of our drinks. Two huge thumbs up!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing, friendly, knowledgable guide and delicious dumplings, with a side of history. Not to be missed! The Melbourne Dumpling Walking Tour, for which we had Chev as our guide, was nothing short of extraordinary. From meeting fellow dumpling appreciators, to learning about the history of Chinatown, as well as the stories behind each location, to of course the delicious dumplings themselves, was the perfect way to spend a cold Melbourne Wednesday night. Chev was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour, offered amazing insights into each restaurant and the types of dumplings they served. She also offered suggestions based on the tastes of the group, and kept conversations flowing allowing everyone to get to know each other better. I'd highly recommend this tour, you won't be disappointed. Especially with Chev as your tour guide, you'll be in good hands, as well as enjoy an array of amazingly delicious dumplings (seriously, some of these dumplings are heavenly). One of the best parts is discovering restaurants (both small and large) that you wouldn't otherwise visit! Definitely adding to the list of to-visit-again locations. Thanks Chev, and thanks Walk Melbourne Tours!!

Fantastic experience: Chev was our lovely tour guide on the dumpling tasting tour. We got a lot of interesting melbourne history along with tasting some authentic yummy dumplings.

Fantastic experience: Awesome tour, Monique took us to some little out of the way food eateries that we would never had found. The samples from each place were amazing. Plus Monique’s knowledge of each establishment and how they came about was fascinating. She also is a wealth of knowledge about the Melbourne City itself. A must do tour whilst in Melbourne

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this walking tour for any coffee lover! Monique was super knowledgable and charismatic. She taught us a lot about the history of coffee in Melbourne and was very deliberate with her recommendations. The highlight for us was enjoying a latte from the oldest coffee machine in Melbourne. Definitely a 5/5 experience!

Fantastic experience: A different way to explore the city. It was great and really fun. Monique shared a lot of her knowledge about coffee and its relationship to Melbourne. Since this tour I’m looking at my coffee with different eyes. A clear recommendation!

Fantastic experience: Monique knows her stuff! I emailed Monique at short notice as I had heard great things about her foodie discovery tour and couldn't find any availability online. She got back to me quickly and booked me onto a tour later that week. The tour provided a great balance between tasting some delicious food and drink, and sharing local knowledge about the beautiful city of Melbourne. I would recommend this tour to anybody interested in food whilst visiting Melbourne. Thank you Monique!

Fantastic experience: Monique had such a wealth of knowledge about Melbourne and her selections for macarons, coffee, gelato, chocolate, banh mi, dumplings, and cocktails were diverse and top notch. A truly wonderful way to experience one of the more unique cities of the world. If I were to use one word to describe Monique’s tour, I’d have to borrow an Australian colloquialism: LEGEND!

Fantastic experience: An enjoyable afternoon of food, history and camaraderie. Monique does a wonderful job of interweaving Melbourne's history with the stories of the different cafes and food shops. We loved the arcades and laneways, especially beautiful with the holiday decor. The food and beverages were delicious, and the cultural diversity of the city was well represented.

Fantastic experience: A lovely morning

Fantastic experience: I did the foodie tour just yesterday. Absolutely amazing! Loved meandering through undiscovered little eateries, restaurants, shops and bars. The little treats along the way were absolutely divine! I was surprised too to find that I was another Geelong local to have done a tour like this, I thought I'd be the weird odd one out . Learning about historical areas and facts of Melbourne sites was a huge highlight too. As I am in a wheelchair.... Accessibility is paramount when doing these tours, and Monique definitely took great care with this as well. Big thankyou for a lovely afternoon :)

Fantastic experience: We went on the Melbourne Coffee Lovers Walking Tour with the lovely Monique! We had a fantastic time walking through the CBD while we learned about (and tasted) the history of Melbourne’s coffee scene.

Would highly recommend to long time coffee lovers, as well as newbies to coffee (like myself!).

A great way to explore a city and sample a range of delicious food! A must do whether you are a visitor to Melbourne or locals like we are :-))

Fantastic experience: Been on a few tours and this one was the best. Do this tour first and learn melbourne history along with a selection of the unique cafes and restaurants in Melbourne. Accommodating to all dietary requirements including halal. Monique was amazing and friendly. You don't feel rushed and its a sml tour size so you get to meet new friends to explore melbourne with. Amazing Tour - highly recommend it!!

Fantastic experience: If you only do one thing in Melbourne, make sure it’s the Foodie Walking tour. We joined Monique for 3 hours and were taken on a ‘foodie and historical’ journey extraordinaire. Our three children (aged between 10 and 15) were enthralled and delighted for the entire duration of the tour. Monique had an entertaining historical story or anecdote around every corner, and we were filled with the most delicious food and treats along the way. We sampled the world-renowned Melbourne coffee, chocolate, and gelato. The mouth-watering Asian cuisines were demolished whilst sitting in the trendy Melbourne laneways. Monique is a foodie through and through and incredibly knowledgeable about Melbourne’s past and present. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you, Monique, for showing us the fabulous food, culture, and history in your fascinating city.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant tour! A taste of Melbourne's best with some very interesting history of a few different spots throughout the city. I have lived here for 30 years, but never discovered my favourite city like a tourist. Loved it! Highly recommended for tourists & locals too!!

Fantastic experience: Such an enjoyable morning spent strolling Melbourne's lanes and tasting some of the world's best coffee. Monique's commentary was so entertaining and informative, and she made everyone feel warmly welcomed whether they drank coffee or not. Very very highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: We loved our coffee walking tour of Melbourne on Saturday morning. We were on a staycation in the city & Monique took us to places, and showed us parts of Melbourne we had walked past hundreds of times, but never actually ‘seen’ or visited. She is a wealth of knowledge about all types of coffee & gave us a fantastic education on some of the roasting techniques & coffee jargon. Would highly recommend to Melburnians and visitors to our town (& she can also give you some fabulous dumpling recommendations for a post tour lunch!)

Fantastic experience: Monique brought Melbourne to life through vivid history telling and awesome food! We've done food tours around the world, and Monique provided a first class tour!

Fantastic experience: Amazing tour, would recommend! Really great value for money and you get lots of delicious food. Would recommend to anyone visiting or even living in Melbourne. Thanks for a wonderful day!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic tour full of food, fun and fabulous people. Our guide Melinda was extremely friendly, welcoming and engaging, and took us to all the places you need to go but would never find on your own. I’m a Melbourne local and was still surprised by delicious dumplings and brilliant Bahn Mi from places I never knew. Definitely do this tour!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic tour! We did the foodie tour, with a group of 9 people total. Monique was so friendly and informative, and took us to some delicious spots we would have never discovered on our own. Well worth the price!

Fantastic experience: Informative and so delicious! I was a little skeptical going into this, knowing that local tours can be a bit uninspired and dull, but I was so impressed and surprised. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to some of the tastiest foods I've eaten in years, most of which I'd have never found by myself. My family and I did the street-food tour and it was definitely worth it, giving us a variety of food, drinks, and historic information on landmarks that most people wouldn't think much on until they learn the history.

Fantastic experience: Well paced tour of laneways and arcades with plenty of backstories and a nice array of foods and drinks. Been to Melbourne 6 times and almost all of this tour represented a new experience for me. Highly recommend

Loved learning about our city and enjoying coffee along the way. We definitely recommend Walk Melbourne Tours and are planning the next one we’ll do

Fantastic experience: We did the coffee lovers tour of Melbourne and it was fabulous. Monique the tour guide was excellent and knew a lot about coffee. She took us to a variety of coffee shops and explained the background and also we had opportunities to try different beans and different styles of coffee. There are also lots of other stories that made this a very entertaining few hours. If you like or love coffee this is a great tour to go on. It was a lot of fun and very enjoyable

Fantastic experience: Monique our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgable about Coffee and Melbourne’s history. We learn’t so much about the different notes you can enjoy with coffee drinking as well as the different pours.

Fantastic experience: We took the Melbourne Coffee Lovers Walk in January 2021 and thoroughly enjoyed the experience which took us through the history and culture of coffee in Melbourne. We stopped at a range of cafes where we learned about coffee trends, tried different blends and bonded over our shared appreciation for caffeine. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and inclusive, making for a very pleasant morning which the whole group enjoyed. With things still a bit uncertain in Australia due to changes related to Covid-19, the tour guide was prepared and acted in accordance with the current guidelines, making everyone feel at ease. If you are looking to get back into the city and to grow your appreciation for our coffee culture, I thoroughly encourage people to join one of these tours. We will definitely be looking at the other tours run by this company in the future. Thanks for having us along!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism

Fantastic experience: Hi, Just wanted to let you know I purchased tickets for my daughter, son in law and two grandsons to do your dumpling tour. They attended tonight 6/1 and the 11 yr old couldn’t wait to FaceTime me on the way home and excitedly recount the entire evening. Thank you so much. They all had a ball. Such a great idea for families to experience Melbourne and its history , as well as yummy food. Congratulations on an excellent service.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed a very informative, fun and caffeine filled few hours around Melbourne with Monique our guide. Monique is ver knowledgeable about coffee and Melbourne and even though I’m a local, I learnt new things and discovered new coffee places to visit. Great experience! Highly recommended ☕️

Fantastic experience: The Tour Guide was very professional and had a wealth of knowledge. If you are a coffee lover you will come away with an amazing appreciation of coffee flavours and types of coffee to enjoy and savour. As the very first Tour since COVID restrictions and lockdown for Melbourne CBD, at every moment of the Tour I felt safe and all restrictions were adhered to and practiced. This is a very professionally run Tour company and knowledgeable Tour Guide. I recommend any coffee lover to take this Tour and enhance your knowledge and ignite the true authentic flavours of coffee beans and types of coffees you can experience all these flavours with. Thank you to Monique and Walk Melbourne. Well done and I will definitely be back to do the “Foodies Walk Tour!”

Fantastic experience: Monique was extremely knowledgeable about the whole process of coffee, from farming to roasting and how delicious coffee ends up in our cups. It was an enjoyable way to spend my birthday. My partner surprised me with the walking coffee tour and it made my day! We are both coffee lovers but this was a nice way to spend a few hours, getting to know a couple of local spots in the CBD, the roasters, history of coffee in Melbourne and about the farmers across the world. Highly recommend Monique, she's professional and passionate which makes the learning experience more enjoyable. Not just a job for her but one of lifes passions!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved this tour! Even though I live in Melbourne, there are still so many hidden gems to discover.

Fantastic experience: A very informative and friendly tour, learnt a lot. Also some hidden gems in the city! Would definitely recommend to other coffee tragics such as myself.

Fantastic experience: This tour was a birthday present for my 15 year old son and it was absolutely amazing. We were fortunate to have Melinda all to ourselves, totally spoilt and a really special experience. Melinda’s tour of the city, its history, coffee, laneways and food was one of the best things I’ve ever done and my son loved every moment. We travelled back to the city a couple of days later and returned to some of the places we visited and a few new spots that Melinda suggested. Melinda’s knowledge, enthusiasm and love of the city shines through and we would recommend a walking tour with Melinda to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I thought I knew about coffee. I didn’t. Monique taught me ten times more in two hours than I’d learned in a lifetime. From bean production, quality, export, roasting, blending, and grinding to the intricacies of espresso, filter, cold brew, and pour overs; this tour has the lot. Not only that, along the way you get a bit free city of Melbourne history and CBD architecture tour as well. Warning: I was pretty wired for a couple of hours afterward, so do it on a day when you want to be super productive afterward.

Fantastic experience: Was a perfect tour for us, me Melbourne raised and friend from the UK both introduced to delicious eateries, tastings, hidden laneways and interesting Melbourne history. Monique has created a relaxed informative walk. So pleased we discovered her tour it was good to meet a person who is passionate about Melbourne and the small but excellent businesses she introduced us too.

We stopped at Short Stop Donuts and explored several donut and coffee options there. She is a foodie’s foodie and we enjoyed her immensely. Five gold ⭐️. Doesn’t get any better! Thanks again Monique!

Fantastic experience: The tour was fun and well planned out, with historical and contemporary highlights and not too much walking. The food choices were excellent and plentiful - I was stuffed by the end, but not uncomfortably so. The macarons in particular were phenomenal. Our tour guide, Monique, was informative and entertaining, offered great suggestions and quips about Melbourne, was adaptive to the needs of the group, and very generous with her time. Highly recommend, and as a (newer) local, I plan to go again when I host friends/family from back home.
