Memorable tour thru Melbourne sports history

Memorable walk through Melbourne sports history and culture through the grounds of the Australian Open, Melbourne Cricket Ground and Collingwood AFL practice field. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with our very knowledgeable and experienced guide Ben, who left no question unanswered and we all left with a deeper appreciation for the evolution of sport in Australia, the incredible achievements of Aussie sports figures, and the intersection of sports with local politics/culture. We even had the chance to hit some balls on the AO practice courts!! Highly recommend.

Game, Set, Match MELBOURNE!

The tour was fantastic. Ben our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, easygoing & happy to answer any questions from our group. Whilst we primarily took the tour for the tennis component, we loved learning about the other sporting venues. Being American we learnt quite a bit about cricket and found it interesting and informative. This tour is highly recommended, it clearly shows that Melbourne is the sporting and cultural capital of Australia because the venues not only highlight the popularity of sport in this amazing city but the diversity that comes with it.

Excellent walk thru Melbourne sports - then and now

Memorable walk through Melbourne sports history and culture, with stops along the way at the Australian Open grounds, Collingwood AFL field, and Melbourne Cricket Ground. Very knowledgeable guide in Ben, with a deep understanding across sports and stories and perspective on the greatest Aussie sportsmen in tennis and cricket. Even had a chance to play some points on the AO practice courts!

Great experience for sports fans

It was a great experience for sports fans, specially tennis fans, but we learn so much about Australian Sports, Ben is a professional and an expert in sports he has a lot of knowledge in this area Ben is so kind and very patience with us Highly recommend experience

Highlight of our Melbourne visit

We had the best three hour discussion of Australian sports. Ben was informative, funny, and very knowledgeable. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide and highly recommend to anyone visiting Melbourne. We finally understand Aussie rules - thank you Ben!

A must-do in Melbourne

The tour was great, both my wife and I loved it. Ben was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about sport, which made it that much more enjoyable. Very interesting and great fun, I would definetly recommend to anyone, even if you're not a huge tennis fan.

The World’s sporting capital described with respect & compassion

Ben was a great host and shared an intimate knowledge of Melbourne’s sporting culture, heritage and legends. Really enjoyed his passion for his subject.

Great Sports Benue tour

Ben runs an amazing tour. It’s historical, entertaining and current. He is also very accommodating. He is so knowledgeable about all the venues and athletes in many sports

Pommies on Oz tour Feb 2024.

We had a great time with Ben at Melbourne Park, his knowledge of Australian sport history was top notch. We learnt a great deal about the sporting passion and development specifically in Melbourne by a gent born and bread in the City. Would definitely recommend.

10 star experience

This was a gift for my tennis obsessive partner, who was so overexcited and happy throughout the whole experience. Ben was more than an entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide who made it a fun morning even for the non tennis obsessed (me!) and the cricket fans in the group spent time at the MCG while we played on one of the practice courts after the main tour. Would highly recommend if you have a spare half day- my partner would give it 10 stars if he could. Cheers Ben x

Great tour with a super knowledgeable sports guy.

Ben is super knowledgeable on all things related to sports in Australia. Really enjoyed our time with him. His experience and knowledge combine to make this tour really super.

Unique tour with an operator that really cares!

Incredible tour with a first class tour operator. Communication was top notch and you could tell the operator really cares about their guests experience. They are great ambassadors for their city!! Highly recommend.

Sporting Capital Tours

Quick note to let all you know that the "Melbourne Park Tennis Experience” with Ben is really worthy! Ben is somebody who makes you feel like home in 30 minutes! He knows everything not only about tennis, but also about all Australian sports. You can´t miss the Sporting Capital Tours if you love sports and will spend sometime in Melbourne!

A fantastic opportunity and experience

Ben is a fantastic guy to be around. He is warm, fun and thoughtful as well as full of passion and knowledge for all sports, especially tennis. I thoroughly recommend taking the opportunity to spend time with him.

A very fulfilling half-day tour of the Australian Open, highly recommended by tennis fans!

Very interesting experience, it is a blessing for tennis fans. The guide Ben is a senior sports practitioner. He took us to explain the history of Melbourne (from the perspective of tennis and sports), the history and venue facilities of the Australian Open, and other sports in Melbourne. Tennis is the focus of the itinerary. I learned interesting knowledge during the visit to Melbourne Park, such as the Australian Open is the largest of the four Grand Slams, and AO was almost turned into Singapore tennis. After the venue explanation, I played a ball for a while in the practice field. I felt the speed of the Australian Open. The rhythm was very comfortable and I felt that the speed was moderate. I usually only watch tennis, but other sports in Australia are also very interesting, such as the super large venue of Australian rugby, which is very shocking. I like the Australian idea of sharing sports facilities. Everyone has the right to use the facilities instead of professional athletes. There is a huge gap between us and Australia in this regard. Ben's explanation is easy to understand, as long as you can speak English, you can participate. I plan to bring my daughter to participate in AO next year. Ben said that the Australian Open is very friendly to children.

Visit Melbourne sports sites

Very nice tour of Melbourne's sporting sites including the famous blue courses of 🎾. Ben is a very pleasant guide who knows a lot of anecdotes about Melbourne and sports. A great time of discovery! I recommend +++

Super!!!!

It was a great tour! Ben was an enthusiastic passionate guide! It was fun to be on the courts at Melbourne Park!

Exciting tennis tour in Melbourne Park!

With Ben we had a great guide who knows the sports facilities in Melbourne Park very well, especially those where the Australian Open takes place. Good pictures were guaranteed and you could even try out the racket yourself 🎾 Clearly recommended!
