Better than I expected!!!

Justin Wills 10 September 2026

Me and a few mates got given this as a Father’s Day gift (our wives organised it for us). We were just expecting to try a few different dumplings and enjoy the food experience. It was actually a bit of a walking tour with a bunch of Melbourne history during the walking. All of us were born in Melbourne and everything we learned about was so interesting! I’m not really into historical stuff but was actually really fun. Of course all of the dumplings were amazing! Great little spots for next time we are in the CBD. Highly recommend it. We had a lot of fun.

Delicious dumpling discovery

Sandra 17 November 2025

What an incredible thing to do. Andrew was our guide and what a wealth of knowledge he possess. Not only did we get to eat way too many scrumptious dumplings but we learned their history and origins and as a person born in Melbourne I also learned interesting facts about my city that I didn't know. At the end he also gave us a list of recommended places to visit. We will be going back to the restaurants we visited. The food was so good. Highly recommend.

Our tour guide was so excited to share her experience and knowledge with the group. The different types of dumplings were out of this world with flavour and texture. I really enjoyed learning history about Melbourne and China.

A fun dumpling night out in Melbourne!

Rebecca 30 August 2023

My husband and I had a great night on this dumpling tour. Not only did we get to try dumplings at 4 different restaurants, but we learnt about the history of both Melbourne and dumplings from different regions which was super interesting. I'm glad they have this in Melbourne. Overall a very nice night and would highly recommend!

Dumplings Heaven!!

Ray 19 May 2022

Fantastic night of sampling some of Melbourne’s dumpling havens! Really enjoyed the variety of not only the types of dumplings but also the different venues and their particular ambience…I mean who would have expected being served by a robot!! Sue was a really great chaperone who also introduced the historical connection between China, Melbourne and Australia and the simple dumpling. Met some great people, who also enjoyed a great experience that I would definitely recommend for a very interesting night out!!

Delicious

Dumpling Tour was a great experience

Chloe 6 January 2021

The dumpling tour was an overall fantastic experience! It showed some hidden gems on Melbourne that I otherwise wouldn't have known existed. There was a very large variety of dumplings, and we left feeling very full! The tour guide, Sue, was very friendly and had lots of knowledge to share. Would definitely recommend!
