Queen Victoria Market

On this tour, we'll celebrate the local foodie culture at the famous Queen Victoria Market, the largest open-air market in Australia. With your local host and intimate group, you’ll discover the best of Melbourne’s bustling markets and multicultural community. Learn about local gastronomic culture as well as the history and culinary traditions that are unique to the city. We’ll visit the market in the morning hours before the rush. This will allow you time to interact with the vendors, as you gain rare insight into the history of the city and how the character of Melbourne has developed. Melbourne's oldest markets are packed with stories, and we’ll include plenty of samples, tastings, and time for you to explore, so you can get the true experience. Hear about how immigration has been a driving force in Melbourne which gives the city such a unique vibe. After the tour continue shopping on your own or ask your guide for some ideas of how to spend your afternoon.
