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.
