Great foodie tour - This foodie tour was brilliant. Lorraine was very knowledgeable about all cultures and cuisines that are often well hidden and unassuming until you try them. The was plenty of different foods to sample and enjoy along the way with lots of tips on other places to try when we come back to the area. (And we will) highly recommend this tour if you want to enjoy low profile but high quality in a local community vibe.

Great Tour for Food Lovers and Culture Seekers - I recently joined the Street Food Tour in Melbourne’s Inner North and had such a great time exploring Fitzroy’s food and culture. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, giving great context about each stop while also sharing stories about the area’s history and community vibe. The variety of food was excellent — plenty of flavours that really showcased Melbourne’s multicultural side — and the pacing meant you could enjoy each stop without feeling rushed or overstuffed.
Overall it’s a fantastic way to discover hidden gems and eat like a local. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience Melbourne through its food and laneways.

Amazing Food & Walking Tour - We had a great time with Joe and Lorraine our excellent tour guides. It was really interesting to see local neighbourhoods outside Melbourne CBD and experience some great food including a legendary Melbourne sando, cheesecake, tacos, savoury donuts, a hot sauce tasting, and a lemon bun from the ‘world’s best’ croissant shop. We thoroughly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to enjoy Melbourne like a local. A word of advice - go feeling hungry and enjoy!

Fab morning with friends - Joe was a fabulous host. This tour had perfect amount of food to walking ratio. Serving sizes were large and was a great range of food types. Joe was able to amend the plan on the go based on how the group was feeling and our preferences. While it was a long walk we didn’t feel rushed or as if we were on a massive hike. Highly recommended.

A great way to see two neighborhoods and try a lot of different foods and restaurants! - A delightful way to spend a morning in Fitzroy and Collingwood walking around the neighborhoods and trying a large variety of tasty bites! Luckily I had my backpack so I could save some for later. Lorraine was a great guide and very well-organized by pre-ordering items at some of the more popular spots. She also asked for our input of sweet vs savory which was well appreciated and the balance was perfect! As a solo traveller it was wonderful to be able to share with others so I could try more! I highly recommend.
