Learned a lot about the historic attributes of Melbourne and had some great food assortment. We loved the crunchy pork sandwich so much we went back the next day and bought 2 for dinner with a beer from the restaurant at the other end of Scott. Rita was great. She knows her stuff. She spoke loud enough to hear her clearly and met a couple from Sydney whom we exchanged contact information with as they are coming to California in the near future. I'd recommend this tour for anyone. Easy walk.

Discover some of Melbourne’s hidden highlights, tucked down lanes, alleys and arcades off the main streets. Hear about the history of the city and the future of the city while tasting some delicious morsels along the way. Your expert guide will provide the key to a variety of fun spots. Even locals may discover a few new sites! Go to one of the city's grand 19th-century arcades, and dive down grungy looking alleys filled with street art.
