A comfortable stroll through the streets of Melbourne while enjoying tasty samples of food that your guide has picked out for you. Our group stopped at 7 different establishments for samples of local cuisine (kangaroo, crocodile), coffee, cheese, chocolate, wine and other delicious treats. Our guide, Jeanie, was wonderful and picked 7 winners for us! This tour was a great way to spend time exploring Melbourne's food culture. 100% recommend,
We appreciate you taking the time to share this. It’s great when the tour feels easy to enjoy the whole way through. Secret Food Tours would be happy to host you again!
Do not go on this trip. Nobody showed up for our tour and there’s no way to reach anyone. They tell you to email secret food tours in New York, but I didn’t get anything.
Hi Holly, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how disappointing it must have been to feel like the tour hadn’t started as expected. We’ve reviewed the details from that day, and our guide confirmed he was at the meeting point with the orange umbrella and waited until 11:45 AM before beginning the tour. The rest of the group was able to join and continue on as planned. As noted in our pre-tour reminders, our tours begin on time to respect all guests, and guides are not able to delay the group or step away to locate anyone who may be running late or at a different meeting spot. That said, we do appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’d welcome the opportunity to host you again in the future so you can experience the tour as intended.
