Next, participants move to a building opened in 1932, where they sample classic Australian dishes and hear about the building's significance. The tour continues to some of Melbourne's busiest laneways, where there is a 30-minute break to try more local foods and observe the area.

Another 10-minute stop is made at a grand covered shopping mall, where the guide explains how the mall got its name and its connection to Melbourne's wealthy past, accompanied by additional tastings.
