Neil was the tour...

Sridhar_U, Sep 2026

Neil was the tour operator and first of all he was on time and I am the only person in the tour. He walked me all of the MCG sports precinct area, MCG, Rod Laver arena, Margaret Court arena, and explained in detail all the history of the cricket in Melbourne and how it started and of other sports as well from Tennis, Rowing, Football, Rugby etc. He gave me the history of how the ashes started and also took my pics while giving the tour. Offered me Umbrella when it was raining while he didn’t bother to have it himself. I would highly recommend to take this tour from him.

More than just a sports tour !

K_B, Feb 2026

Would recommend this for everyone not just sports fans although that is obviously the main focus. Neil our guide provided us with a wealth of information about the history of Melbourne as well as its wide and varied sports. Highlight for me was the MCG but I saw and learned about so much more than just cricket.

Excellent tour of Melbourne sports venues.

David_G, Jul 2023

What an excellent experience this was. Neil the tour guide has an immense amount of knowledge about the sports venues in Melbourne, even those not on the tour. And a big kudos for still running the tour with only one participant i.e. me. A lot of organisations would have cancelled so for this to still run was very much appreciated.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hi David, thanks for such a great review! We're so pleased you enjoyed it and thrilled that we were able to run it for you. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and have passed it on to Neil, who is also very grateful.
