About this tour
Spend three hours navigating Melbourne's laneways and arcades with a local guide who knows where to eat. Start on Degraves Street to see the street art, duck into Block Arcade for proper meat pies, then head to Emporium Melbourne for Japanese pastries. Your guide speaks Spanish, English, French or Italian, tailors the route to what you fancy, and it's just you and them—no group shuffle.

What to expect
Your guide collects you and moves at a relaxed pace through central Melbourne's best-kept food corners. You'll taste a working mix of street food—proper pies with hot gravy, pastries still warm from the oven, and whatever else your guide reckons is worth trying that day. Expect narrow laneways, a bit of history about each spot, and honest chat about why locals actually eat here rather than the tourist traps. The whole thing is on foot and covers maybe two to three kilometres.
Good to know
Fully accessible to wheelchairs and prams. Wear comfortable shoes for uneven laneway surfaces. Tips are optional. Public transport stops are close by if you need them. The guide adjusts the route based on your dietary needs and pace.
