What a great experience sampling off the beaten track food and drinks with a local that loves showing visitors his city! Hugo was an awesome guide with many interesting facts about Melbourne, but more importantly he knows where to find great food! Come hungry because you will get lots of delicious nibbles that will fill you up. He also gave us many recommendations that we didn't have time to visit during the tour. I wish we had time to do the bar tour with the company as well, it looks like a lot of fun! If you want to experience the variety of cuisines that make Melbourne a great food city, join this tour and enjoy the journey! Thanks again Hugo!
