Peter gave us great explanations on the various sports and the venues Getting to play on some of the courts was fun Great for kids
A great tour & a must for all tennis & sports fans. Ben our tour guide was so engaging & knowledgeable. It was amazing walking around the grounds of Melbourne Park, home of the AO & getting to have a hit on a court. A real pinch me moment. Walking around the impressive MCG was icing on the cake. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH CATHY I WISH YOU HEALTH, WEALTH HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE.
This tour provides a thorough overview of Melbourne Park. Not just the tennis, but history of its development and other venues within the area.
When you say Australian sports you say Ben! Three hours of great stories and funny anecdotes. As a lover of sports and tennis 🎾 in particular, I was completely satisfied. Ben tells the most beautiful stories with passion and humour. The three hours have flown. Highly recommended and a must for sports enthusiasts. In short ‘an excellent tour!’
Ben was an amazing guide whom had heaps of knowledge of the entire melbourne park and being tennis fans ourselves, he gave further insights into the history of the majors and also AO. highly recommended to go on this tour as you get to play on one of their courts as well :)
I had such a great time! I’m a sports fan and this tour isn’t only about the Australian Open, it includes the whole Melbourne Park with all its sports and history. And I found it so fun and interesting! The highlight is that you get to play tennis on the blue courts of course. And our guide was a very good photographer too 😄
Great tour. Extremely informative. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting and fun.
I had a great experience on this tour. For one, I'm not really a tennis fan, but this tour helped me get an appreciation of the game and enjoy playing it. Our guide was very informative and went out of their way to explain the various bits of interesting history of the game and locations. All in all would highly recommend even if you, like me, aren't a huge tennis fan
Our guide Ben was full of knowledge. We had a great time wandering around the tennis centre and looking at it at a different view as there were no crowds. We had a game of tennis on one of the practice courts. We got to watch the Collingwood football team practice. We also got to go in and view the cricket ground. Definitely a fantastic tour . Thanks Ben 🤗
