Overpriced, not worth it....

3.00Overpriced, not worth it. Rather take the MCG tour which was value for money, with getting inside the stadium, players change rooms etc. With tennis park it's just talk mainly about outside tennis park places, no tour of rod laver or Margaret court, just photos from the outside. Not worth $120 per person. Something that you can do yourself.

5.00A guided tour of Melbourne Park up to the MCG, with an hour to play tennis on one of the outside courts that is used for the Australian Open. Please note that there is no entry to any of the main arenas like Rod Laver and Margaret Court. Did get to go inside KIA Arena and the MCG though.
Excellent tour

5.00I recently took a local tour of Melbourne's iconic sports venues, and it was fantastic! Our guide Catherine was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing captivating stories about each location. The highlight was visiting the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where the history of Australian sports truly comes alive. We also explored Rod Laver Arena and Marvel Stadium, both of which were impressive. The tour was well-organized, allowing plenty of time for questions and photos. It was a great opportunity to meet fellow sports fans and soak in Melbourne's vibrant sporting culture. We even had a chance to play tennis on the venue! Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the city’s sports scene!
