Loved every minute of it. Great to understand coffee: it's source, history, how to get the most out of a coffee bean, and the local business that are passionate about it. Great to do the taste comparisons. Monique was a wealth of knowledge and a lovely person to boot!

The coffee lovers walking tour was the perfect blend of exploration, information and superb coffee, hosted by the warm, fun and super-knowledgable Monique. Her passion for coffee and Melbourne shone through three hours of chatting, strolling and sipping, which went by all too quickly. I particularly noticed how beautifully she included a participant who didn't drink coffee. No fuss, no eye-rolling – Monique ensured this person felt fully included and welcome. Likewise, she made it easy and comfortable to say if a certain coffee wasn't to your taste. Whether you love coffee or not, you will love this tour. Unreservedly recommended.

This tool was great fun. The tour guide Monique really knew her stuff and had a great deal of knowledge about coffee and all coffee related information. She imparted her stories with enthusiasm and they are extremely interesting and enjoyable. We had a chance to stop at a number of coffee places and tried not only different types of coffee beans but also different styles of coffee. Monique explained the background of each of the styles and had related stories. He was a great way to spend a few hours and have a lot of fun and enjoy some wonderful coffee. I have no hesitancy in recommending this tour to anyone, especially if you love coffee.
