About this tour
If you don’t know the rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney, it goes a bit like this: Sydney people think we’re a bit stuck up (half true), while we think Sydney people have the depth of a bottle cap (absolutely true!).
Sydney may have its giant coat hanger and a snozzle of schnozzes (Harbour Bridge and Opera House), but we have The Holy Trinity: Coffee, Culture and…Conversation! And streets that are built for walking. Do you hear that, Sydney? Walking! It’s a verb.
No wonder we were voted the most liveable city 7 times in a row!
Let’s grab a coffee and come along on my irreverent walking tour where I take you on a journey of the Indigenous custodians, laneways and arcades, street art, how immigration built this city, the dubious characters, before finally cooling your heels at a riverside bar and finding out once and for all how this Sydney-Melbourne rivalry all began!

Melbourne Food Tour through Chinatown and Laneways with Drink
Melbourne, Victoria
Most food tours hand you a printed menu and walk you through the same venues every time. This one doesn't. Your guide meets you at Gordon Reserve at 11am, learns what your group eats and what you don't, then builds the route from there. Four to six substantial tastings across Chinatown and Melbourne's laneways, chosen around what's seasonal and worth your time. The venues shift, but the format stays consistent: hand-folded dumplings, Michelin-starred yum cha, regional Chinese street food, oysters, soft cheeses, Indian dhai puri, and one drink at a top-tier laneway bar or cellar door. Non-alcoholic options available. Groups are capped at eight, giving your guide time for questions and the stories behind each stop, including how immigration and laneways shaped Melbourne into a food capital. This is built to be your lunch, so come hungry. We accommodate vegetarians and religious dietary requirements. Built for adventurous eaters. Wear comfortable shoes for two to three kilometres.
“Wheelchair accessible. All venues have ramp or elevator access. Stroller accessible. Service animals permitted.”
