Sports Walking Tour Experience

We had an incredible walking tour with Ben yesterday and couldn’t recommend it more. Ben was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate throughout the entire tour. His insight into every area of Melbourne Park was outstanding, and he shared so many interesting stories and behind-the-scenes facts that we never would have known otherwise it was brilliant. He made the experience enjoyable from start to finish, taking the time to answer questions and ensuring everyone felt involved. If you’re visiting Melbourne or have an interest in sport, this tour is an absolute must do with Ben. Thanks again, Ben, for such a fantastic and memorable experience! Couldn’t speak any more highly of it. It was legendary. Thanks Ben

Informative and Enjoyable

Our 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.

EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS - brilliant tour

Wow ! We had high expectations from having read great reviews prior to booking our walking tour ... and Ben did not disappoint. Fantastic tour, we learnt so much, we appreciated Ben's informative, personable, friendly chat. Highly recommend to anyone who loves sport.

We don't always exceed expectations but we do strive to do it every single day because we get that you only ever do this tour once and we don't get a second chance. You probably don't appreciate what it means when we hear this feedback so a big thanks for taking the time to write it.

Best way to see Melbourne

Fantastic 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.

Operator response

Hi Nigel - I think you nailed exactly what our experience is about and how we try and bring Melbourne to life through our sporting precinct, world class events and culture.
