Stella by name and Stella by tour
It was a great way to see the markets and Stella was a wealth of knowledge. She was very accommodating on dietary needs and was happy to focus on the groups preferences. Great tour and one to do if you want to see all that the Queen Victoria markets have to offer.

Great Tour Guide
This tour was a great way to explore the food halls of the famous VIC Markets. Stella was an enthusiastic friendly guide and introduced us to delicious tastings of local foods over a 2 hr period ending with local wine samples. A great thing to do while in Melbourne and my only advice would be to come along with an empty stomach ! Best wishes to you Stella.

Greatest tour of Victoria Markets
We recently joined the Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour, and it was an absolute standout experience. Our guide, Stella, was brilliant — her knowledge of the area, the history, and the market itself was exceptional. She brought the whole place to life with stories, insights, and a genuine passion for the local produce. Stella took us through a variety of food outlets, each offering something unique and delicious. From fresh produce to artisan specialties, every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. The highlight for us was definitely the cold meats and cheeses tasting platters — beautifully presented, full of flavour, and a perfect showcase of what the market does best. If you’re thinking about exploring Queen Victoria Market and want a tour that’s fun, informative, and absolutely delicious, I’d highly recommend booking this one. Stella made the experience memorable, and the food alone is worth the visit. A must‑do for locals and visitors alike.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you.

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $107 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 Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food 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 Melbourne Flavours Queen Victoria Market Food Tour?
+
