It was absolutely wonderful! As a cricket enthusiast, this experience exceeded all my expectations. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the rich cricketing history of the ground to life. From learning about legendary Ashes battles to hearing stories about iconic moments that have unfolded on this hallowed turf, every part of the tour was captivating. Walking through the Members Pavilion, seeing the playing surface up close, and visiting areas usually off limits to the public was thrilling. It’s amazing to stand where so many cricketing greats have played - from Bradman to modern-day heroes like Kohli and Smith etc. Whether you’re a die-hard cricket fan or just appreciate sporting history, I highly recommend this tour. Thanks!

My husband is a keen cricket fan and enjoyed it very much . The tour was conducted effectively and the museum was very interesting. We visited the away teams changing rooms and he warmed on Tendulkar’ sit and the members pavilion and & ladies pavilions were also visited . We were allowed to take pictures near the ground and thoroughly enjoyed the tour . Would highly recommend the tour to ardent cricket fans

We are thrilled that our non cricket fans enjoyed the experience.
Whilst the Sydney Swans are a huge part of the SCG since 1982, we unfortunately don't get access to the dressing room.

Amazing experience. You get to see the dressing rooms which have hosted many greats of cricket. The guides are cricket fans themselves and you get to talk a lot about, well...... cricket. Add a dash of Ashesh tidbits and you are in for a great tour.

Fred_B, Oct 2025
I traveled from Northern Ireland to visit my son who is working in Sydney and as a cricket lover decided to take the tour of the SCG, this was a fantastic experience and our tour guide was so knowledgeable and made the whole experience special. The old Victorian pavilion is something to be admired and so much part of the history of this stadium and if you are considering taking the tour this is definitely the highlight of the whole experience. You get to see parts of it which you will remember forever like the changing rooms and the bar. Also the museum with all the Bradman and other’s memorabilia is amazing.
Response from Host, Nov 2025

Warm regards,

Jaime_A, Sep 2025
Tour of the SCG. Enjoyed being able to see the grounds however, felt a self paced/ guided tour (via map/ QR code) would cater better for a diverse group of participants.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed seeing the SCG grounds!
We completely understand your suggestion about a self-paced tour via map or QR code. Currently, our tours are guided to ensure all guests have a safe, informative, and engaging experience, as our guides provide access to areas not generally open to the public and share the unique stories and history of the SCG. A self-guided format wouldn’t allow us to maintain this level of access or ensure the same quality of experience for all visitors.
We appreciate your thoughts and will keep them in mind as we continue to look for ways to enhance the tour experience for our diverse guests.
Thank you again for visiting the SCG.
Roshan_K, Sep 2025
Visited the most iconic and historic cricket stadium of the world SCG. Our guide who really took care of our group with his friendly knowledge sharing about the history of the game, the stadium, some untold stories of cricketers associated with the ground. Was delighted to see the museum displaying some of the most rare collectibles and some cricket merchandise for fans to collect were available for sale.
Overall great cricketing tour at the iconic SCG.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your tour of the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground.

We hope to welcome you back to the SCG again in the future.
