Where exactly do I meet the guide?

Meet at Southern Cross Station at 09:30. Your booking confirmation will include any additional meeting details — look out for your guide there.

Do I need to pay for public transport separately?

Tram or train fares between markets are not included in the tour price. Your guide can help you purchase a Myki card or tickets at the start of the tour.

How much food is included — will I need to eat beforehand?

The tour includes tastings at each of the four markets, so you'll try a good variety of food across the morning. A light breakfast beforehand is sensible, but you won't go hungry.

Is this tour suitable for children?

Yes — children aged five and under join free. The tour moves between markets using public transport, so it's worth considering this if you have very young children.

What time does the tour finish?

The tour ends at approximately 12:30 at the last market visited, or your guide will help you get to the nearest public transport back to the city.

Can I join if I have dietary restrictions?

The tour covers a wide range of cuisines, so there is likely to be something suitable. Contact the operator in advance if you have specific allergies or dietary requirements so they can advise.
