Exceptional Tour - Enjoyable Experience - I had an incredible outing today led by Ben as we toured through the sports grounds. I loved the passion he had for this city’s heritage, as well as the wealth of knowledge he expressed with animation and a personalised approach.
We then had tour guide Bill through the MCG stadium which was fascinating, pretty keen to now see the stadium come alive for an event. Would come back to in future, cheers

Thank you to the entire team especially Cathy and Ben. They truly bring the passion of sports and induce into the overall experience!

A must do tour for sports enthusiasts! - If you’re a sports enthusiast, this tour is for you! Curated by Ben to cover cricket, football, tennis and a walk about the Olympic park. MCG part of tour was with an MCG official. Ben met us before and after MCG for the rest of the tour. He is knowledgeable and engaging with many interesting nuggets of information. The unplanned and amazing highlight for our family was to be able to play tennis on the practise grounds. Huge thanks to Ben for organizing this and letting us use his rackets too! A great way to spend half a day in Melbourne.

eye-opening experience - I recently went on the walking tour of the MCG and Melbourne Park tennis venues, and it was an eye-opening experience. The guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about the history, players, and memorable sporting moments. Walking through the stadium, locker rooms, and tennis courts gave me a real sense of being behind the scenes of Australia’s most iconic sporting grounds.
The tour was well-organised, I engaged well with the guide, and he offered a perfect balance of history and fun facts. As a sports fan, it was unforgettable to stand where champions have played and feel the energy of these world-class venues. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne or wanting to appreciate our sporting culture more deeply.

The Great Melbourne Insight - Great insight of the area especially enjoyed the sports knowledge but was far more than just sports and so did my partner and 13 year old son so great for all ages and genders

AO Olympic and MCG - Good meeting place and Catherine was early and had communicated and confirmed details earlier which always reassures me
Having been involved in the AO she was able to give little insights behind the scenes which was very interesting. The MCG was just awesome and the tour guide was excellent

Well worth it! - Ben is a fantastic host, very knowledgeable and friendly. He clearly loves his sport and this shows in his enthusiasm. The only reason that this wasn’t 5 stars was because we couldn’t have the tour of the MCG stadium as there was an AFL game playing, however he did give us the option of full refund/book another day or tickets to the game. We chose the later and had a great time!
