4.00I had high expectations to play with my son on the famous Melbourne tennis courts. Sadly we had to share the court and played only a few balls. The tour would had been better if the tour guide would have informed everyone where we hatted to, after we stopped tennis. The last stop after we have walked around a big stadium with no explanation which was the end after we asked. The tour could improve if the guide would have involved the whole group in his conversation. This particular guide focused on only one guest.

5.00Incredible experience, an absolute highlight of our time in Australia. Ben was a fantastic guide. He clearly has a passion for the city, sports history and educating his guests. It was fun and comfortable and tailored, never intimidating or overwhelming. The access to venues was unbelievable. I mean, who gets to play on major tennis courts?!?!? We made lifelong memories and will always watch the Australian Open with an extra special feeling.
Best Of The Best Sports Tour!

5.00My wife and I went in. not knowing what to expect but Cathy led the best tour I have ever been apart of. She brought to life the sports fanatic city of Melbourne with her own personal knowledge and touch. The highlight having a hit on the actual AO practice courts. Could not recommend this tour enough.
