Memorable walk through Melbourne sports history and culture through the grounds of the Australian Open, Melbourne Cricket Ground and Collingwood AFL practice field. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with our very knowledgeable and experienced guide Ben, who left no question unanswered and we all left with a deeper appreciation for the evolution of sport in Australia, the incredible achievements of Aussie sports figures, and the intersection of sports with local politics/culture. We even had the chance to hit some balls on the AO practice courts!! Highly recommend.

The tour was fantastic. Ben our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, easygoing & happy to answer any questions from our group. Whilst we primarily took the tour for the tennis component, we loved learning about the other sporting venues. Being American we learnt quite a bit about cricket and found it interesting and informative. This tour is highly recommended, it clearly shows that Melbourne is the sporting and cultural capital of Australia because the venues not only highlight the popularity of sport in this amazing city but the diversity that comes with it.
