Must do for a sports fan. - Bens tour was totally worth the time. Always important to have a good attitude and Ben has plenty of it :-) Good mix of history and culture and some play interspersed. If you are a sports buff this is totally something to do. It’s not just tennis, cricket and footie too. While it’s professional Ben isn’t going to be looking at time and is on the contrary very understanding about each one’s asks including how to get around after the tour!!

An outstanding tour. A must in Melbourne. - One of the best tours I've ever done. Ben was tremendous, providing such fun, concise & engaging info. The structure of how it was organised was brilliant, as is the sporting complex. Even if you aren't a sports fan you can learn and feel the significance of where you walk around. Such a shame the weather was so bad that I couldn't have a hit on an Australian Open court 🥲 but as was the organisation that we still managed some tennis indoors. 10/10.

Amazing tour for tennis lovers - The tour with Ben was amazing. He mixed a lot of personal stories into the facts. That made it really special. Furthermore, we enjoyed also taking some photos in front of the Melbourne court. As a tennis player it is special to save this as a memory. I found it very interesting that everyone can book any time (excluding Australian Open phase and preparation) the courts of Melbourne Park for less money. Just have a look at tennisworld. In addition to tennis sports we learned a lot about Aborigines in sports, Australian football and cricket.

Great experience - We had a great experience booking this tour. The reason for the booking was our great interest in the Australian Open, but we also learned a lot about other Australian sports. Ben was a great tour guide who knew a lot and made the tour enjoyable.

An in depth tour of the Melbourne tennis complex - Cathy was an amazing tour guide! Having worked at the Australian Open for a number years she was able to share many special details about the tennis complex, its history, and a number of the very famous players. She also was able to share information about other tourist activities in the area as well as transportation options. A very well organized and executed travel experience for my son and I.

An Amazing Experience. Highly Recommend! - Ben is an absolutely amazing tour guide! He really has a ton of knowledge, not just about tennis, but really any sport, and also shares a lot of great information about Melbourne in general. Not only that, he has some wonderful (and entertaining) stories that he peppers in throughout the tour. Highly recommend!!

If you're a tennis lover and want to visit Melbourne, go - This tour gives you a sense of Ben's love of sports. If you like tennis, I recommend it so much that I can't find any reason not to participate. Ben, who was probably a sports event consultant on the history of Melbourne and the sport, explains in great detail the origins of Australia, the surrounding sports facilities around Rod Laver Arena. You can meet along the Yarra River at Fed Square and walk to the arena in a short time (they will occasionally stop and explain your canoe), walk back home or take a train as there are two stations near the disbanding cricket ground (I switched from Jolimont to Southern Cross to get to South Melbourne Market) for easy access. The challenge for the average Japanese is English. You need to have a level of English conversation skills that you don't have trouble with in everyday life. It’s also the first app you won’t use in Japan, as it replaces the Whats App from email, but it’s also a great way to stay in touch with Ben responsively, such as at a meeting. It seems like luck to be able to take a photo at Kia Arena like the one in the photo. When I was there, I couldn’t get down to the court to prepare for a concert about who I was, so I had a light rally on the court at the National Tennis Centre. Still, it's a good memory to hit it on a blue court in Melbourne.
