Melbourne Street Food Tour with a Local Guide

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This private walking tour is a simple way to get a taste of central Melbourne’s food scene without having to research where to go yourself. You’ll walk through some of the city’s best-known streets and shopping arcades with a local guide, stopping for food and drink tastings along the way. It leans more towards a curated city food stroll than a big eating challenge, so it suits travellers who want a social, easy introduction to Melbourne’s flavours and inner-city character.

Why backpackers love it

If you’ve only got a short time in Melbourne, this is an easy way to combine sightseeing and food in one outing. The private format means a more flexible feel than a large group tour, and the included tastings save you from figuring out where to start. It’s also a decent option if you want to see a few central spots on foot with a guide, rather than doing a standard city walk that skips the snacks.

What to expect

The tour starts with a walk along Degraves Street, known for its laneway feel and street art. From there, you’ll continue into the historic Block Arcade, where one of the featured tastings is Melbourne-style homemade meat pies. Another stop takes you to Emporium Melbourne for freshly baked Japanese puff pastry. The tour is private, so it’s just your group and guide, and it includes tastings as you go. It’s a walking experience at an easy pace and is listed as wheelchair accessible, with public transport nearby.
