Melbourne Food Tour
We spent an incredible morning with Matthias (“Matt”!) who is a wonderful guide. Not only is Matt very knowledgeable, he is also very personable and easy to talk to. He took us to several different parts of the city that we would otherwise not have visited on our own. We loved seeing Melbourne through the eyes of a local! I hope we have an opportunity to have Matt guide us again on our next trip to Melbourne

Fabulous Eats and Art tour with Matthias
Matthias was very personable and took time as soon as we met to get to know my wife and me and personalize our tour to what we wanted to see and do and eat. I have a gluten issue and Matthias considered that the entire day. He suggested things we didn’t have a real interest in like the formula one track that was being dismantled after a race last week and it was actually very interesting to drive the track and see what the drivers had to navigate. He drove us through several sections of the city and told us about the various sections. We stopped at a small local cafe early in the day and it was excellent. He also took us to several other spots we could have experienced the treats, but we were too full from the first stop. We tend to be very light eaters, most people would probably be able to eat at the wonderful places Matthias took us to eat. We also saw several beautiful buildings with drastically different architectural styles in very close proximity to each other. I love architecture so that was very enjoyable. We also went down several streets that exhibited street art and Matthias told us about several of the artists and how some are commissioned but most are not. We even got to see an artist at work on Hosier Street that Matthias knew. We went to a small “street art” gallery that was absolutely amazing. There was a dedicated Banksy room with a large variety of his art. It’s hard to believe the art displayed was street artists, it was amazing! Then we stopped for a gelato that was fabulous. We were heading back and Matthias was telling the story about the bar “Naked for Satan.” Great story and as we got close asked if we wanted to stop for a drink and we did, an early cocktail at a very unique place. It was beautiful inside and the rooftop bar was beautiful with outdoor seating with a great view of the city. We took pictures with the woman making drinks in her Naked for Satan t-shirt, she was a lot of fun! Then Matthias dropped us off at the hotel and gave us suggestions for Grampian National Park, our next stop. Matthias is a great tour guide and an even better person!

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.
How much does Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs cost?
+
Prices start at $420 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 Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs?
+
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 Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs?
+
Around 8 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Street Food & Street Art, Backroads & Boroughs 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 Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, 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.
