Not just a foodie tour
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 😊
Response from the operator: Hi Rita, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are thrilled you enjoyed our tour:) Colleen mentioned what a wonderful day it was for her too.... Thank you again:)

Walking & eating - fun times in Melbourne…
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.
Response from the operator: Wow! Thank you so much Jodie and Peter. Truly the pleasure was all mine. I had a a ball 'touring' with you both. A wonderful day for me:))) Thanks again, all the very best to you both:)

Best Food Tour In Melbourne
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.
Response from the operator: 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....

Great Guide - Decent food stops
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.
Response from the operator: 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.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $141 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.
Is Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 291 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour?
+
Around 102 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Melbourne?
+
On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Cider & Chocolate tour, Melbourne: Epic Yarra Valley Wine Tour & Lunch - Gin/Beer Upgrade, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Melbourne?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Melbourne?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour?
+

Please inform us at least 48 h; and Delicious food tastings. Not included: Drinks (available to purchase); Hotel Pick Up - Our tours depart from a central MEETING POINT.

Where is the meeting point for Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour?
+
Your Tour Leader will meet you outside BEAR BRASS CAFE. There are escalators and a large colourful sculpture located right next to Bear Brass Cafe. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Foodies Bucket List - Walking Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
