Great tour, definitely worth the money! - Ben was a great tour guide. We got to see all of the Melbourne sporting sights and he answered any questions we had. It was a fun and interactive day and I’d definitely recommend!

Boxing Day Match & More - This was a perfect tour to become a part of and get a sense of the big sports side of Melbourne. Ben's passion, experience, and knowledge on Australian sports was so evident and his enthusiasm was contagious. My day included a ticket to the Boxing Day test match and for someone with no cricket background, Ben's insights on how the sport is played and what it means to Australia was a key reason I booked it. I learned so much on this tour and I'm even more eager to return one day to witness the Australian Open and other sporting events in the area.
I highly recommend it!

Engaging stories of Melbourne's sporting history and achievements - We recently had a wonderful experience joining Ben McAuliffe on a walking tour of the famous Tennis, Cricket and Australian Rules Football venues in Melbourne. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing his love of all sports, particularly Melbourne's history and status as Australia's sporting capital. We would highly recommend sports fans to take such tours with Ben. You will have a great time!

Best Melbourne experience - This is the must do’s for your visit to Melbourne. Ben was really informative and kind. We were mind blown with the information and knowledge he shared with us. We were expecting a normal informative tour of MCG but to our surprise Ben provided us with the Boxing day match tickets for the day. This was really the best experience we’ve had in Melbourne. Thank you Ben.

Must do! - There's no better way to experience your first AFL game than with a local sports pro! Aussie rules football is a sport unlike any other, and experiencing it first-hand with Ben was a joy. Fantastic seats, incredible environment, and great knowledge all throughout the game! The MCG is easily the coolest sporting stadium I've been in, and AFL fans fill the place with so much energy and excitement. Definitely a must-do while in Melbourne!
