Unbelievable tour. Our guide, Tamara, was fantastic. She knows everything about Melbourne sports, and everything about sports in Australia and just Australia generally. She was so much fun to talk to and get to know. I can’t recommend this tour enough for any sports fans that come to Melbourne. The guided tour of the MCG was also a highlight as that is led by very knowledgeable volunteers. Just so good!

Tamara was brilliant, couldn’t fault her. We drove around the City in a Luxurious Minivan which was so comfortable compared to the standard ones that are more commonly used. Between each destination we had a lovely in-depth conversation besides sports and beer which she was very knowledgeable in, she’s also knowledgeable in some history of the City itself. It was awesome to see all the Sport Stadiums and Arenas. Hubby really enjoyed tasting all the different beers as beer is his favourite alcohol drink. Happy days!!!
Our guide Tamara was a wealth of information about all the sports venues we went to and provided information that was of great value. We were a small group and we had a fantastic time when we visited F1 Circuit, Flemington Racecourse & MCG were I was able to go into the change rooms of the Mighty Tigers. Lunch was provided at a nice cafe in Richmond and the tour finished at a Craft brewery in Sth Melbourne. All in all a great day had by all, thank you Tamara and your team.
Tamara was our guide and she was fabulous wiith her knowledge in showing us everything on this tour up close and personal in our small group including Flemington Racecourse, inside the MCG, driving past some former footy grounds and of course a brewery tour. Highly recommended for anyone to do
Had so much fun on this tour. Went to all the major sporting grounds and got to hear the history of each one. Andrew was really accommodating and knowledgeable. We did have to do a last minute change for lunch, but that was all taken in stride and easily fixed. Would highly recommend this tour for any sport fan
This was made for a day with sports crazy mates. Not too over the top, just great guide, great information and topped it all off with beer with the tour. Certainly great way to spend some time with family.
<p>Really fabulous day, Tamara was great, knew lots of interesting facts and very friendly. Clean transport and was great to get picked up and dropped off because it is a longer day and lots of walking. Would definitely recommend.</p>
<p>Very knowledgeable tour guide, got us to all the sporting venues, great brewery tour and a good lunch included. Good value for money!</p>
<p>Was ok but not fantastic except for Anthony which made it very interesting and gave extra information on route to the venues. We were lucky to meet two ofthe Indian cricket players whilst touring the G. as 20 20 Bash was that week which I had a ticket for.</p>
<p>If you like sports then you'll love this tour, very informative throughout. The brewery was good at the end, got a classic Fosters T Shirt being the typical tourist.</p>
<p>Really interesting trip. Small friendly group. Guide was very knowledgeable about the venues but the whole area as well. MCG was great.</p>
<p>Just what I expected. Excellent day. The guide was very good. Thoroughly enjoyable.</p>
<p>A fabulous day lots of things to see and do, even for me, not the real sports lover, that's my husband. Our guide was very entertaining and pointed out lots of Melbourne's attractions</p>
<p>Very difficult tour if you have walking difficulties.</p>
<p>What a wonderful tour. Far better and longer than we expected. Anthony was friendly and knowledgeable in all areas sport. The MCG tour was very interesting, Flemington was larger than expected and the Carlton Brewery tour was very informative. Anyone with only a slight interest in sport would find this day out a real treat.</p>
<p>Really enjoyable, the guide was really knowledgable and there was plenty of good banter as well. Plus we got a bonus tour of the Etihad stadium thanks to our guide and his contacts. As a sports fan was a thoroughly enjoyable day.</p>
<p>Great experience enjoyed it very much, Simon our tour guide, was excellent</p>
<p>A really interesting and informative tour. Great photo opportunities, lots of behind the scenes peeks, and plenty of beer to taste. Etihad stadium lunch stop had the 'best chips in Melbourne'!!</p>
<p>I bought this tour as a birthday present for my husband and didn't particularly expect to enjoy it myself but it was a briliant day out. We were a small group and were picked up in a great little bus and were taken to various sporting locations by a lovely guide who really knew his stuff. Not only did he have a wealth of sporting knowledge he also pointed out places of interest around and about Melbourne which we may never have seen without his knowledge. The guide was friendly and managed to get all the participants on the tour to gel together and ensured we all had a great time. We were given plenty of time to look around the venues and had a relaxed lunch which was included in the tour. I would recommend this tour as a really enjoyable day out for everyone, sports fan or not.</p>
<p>Brilliant and Im not a big sports fan, I went along with my pattner and was sooo impressed. Simon our driver was super!</p>
<p>This was a very good tour the only problem we had was we didn't actually get to see Rod Laver Arena. Flemmington was really good and now i want to go a see a race especially The Melbourne Cup. The best part was the brewey tour. I would definitely recommend this tour well worth the effort.</p>
<p>As I have had tours to other Brewery.. This was not working (maintance) so I could imagaine .. others were disapointed .. overall .. new guide .. not working plant</p>
<p>Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Different tour guide for the MCG (an MCG member veteran) who gave some dodgy facts about MCG, but other than that all the information seemed correct. Brewery was interesting to see the bottling process and learn a bit more about some of Australia's flagship brands.</p> <p>Does exactly what this tour says on the tin - Good tour for people who like sport and beer!</p>
<p>Sports part of the trip was excellent, especially the MCG and Flemington. Guide was very knowledgeable, Melbourne is the paradise for a sport supporter, anything sport related is highly thought of here. On the down side, make sure the brewery is actually running before you book this add on, as it was not when we went ( on Fridays) which made it a bit pointless. In general though a very good tour, probably better to do the Sports Hall of Fame in the afternoon after lunch though.</p>
<p>This was excellent and extremely well organised. A small 12 seater coach meant that the tour was more intimate and gave us the opportunity to chat with fellow travellers. The guide was very efficient and knowledgeable.</p>
Tour guide and driver was excellent. Well informed and very helpful in every way. Tour of MCG was excellent and professionally conducted. We enjoyed our day out.
Simon was great, very knowledgeable we enjoyed seeing behind the action, how the different sporting arena's work. The MCG was great. Then the Carlton Brewery in the afternoon made the Boys day. We recommend this tour to any sports lover, we had a great time Thnak You Sue.
If you're lovers of sports then this tour is a must! We had a great tour guide. Wished the MCG museum was included in this tour instead of the brewery.
Fantastic trip. I would recommend this to anyone, not just sport lovers.
I had a great guide - all round fantastic tour, can't say enough good stuff.
Booking was quick and simple and instructions regarding the tour itself were clear. It eventuated that I was the only person booked to do the tour on the day and the operators offered me the opportunity of picking a different day, continuing as arranged or having a refund if I wished. As I was leaving Melbourne the following day I chose to continue as arranged. The tour operators were happy to honour the existing arrangement and I ended up having a most enjoyable "personal" tour. They went out of their way to ensure that I enjoyed the day and I cannot speak highly enough of them. I commend the tour to anyone with an interest in sports and beer.
