5.00Our guide Peter tailored the tour to our interests, packing our time with interesting stories and information. He adapted his program effortlessly so that we could spend most of our time at the venue in which we were most interested. His commentary was positive but he didn’t avoid some of the controversies associated with sport and sports personalities and he answered questions very openly, revealing a true interest in the field and an encyclopedic knowledge.

Best way to see Melbourne

5.00Fantastic morning. Ben and Terry know Melbourne sports and the history of Melbourne inside out, and were really entertaining hosts. You get to see the Melbourne tennis centre (even play on one of the courts) and hear the whole history and all the quirky details. If you think you know it already: you don’t. You also get in to the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Magnificent 100,000 seat stadium nicknamed The Coliseum, which it is actually reminiscent of. All in all this was three hours very well spent.
A truly great experience
