Behind the scenes sports tour for all ages! - My 9 year old son and I joined Ben’s tour and loved every minute of it! Ben’s sporting knowledge is amazing and he was able to tailor it to all ages keeping the tour completely engaged throughout. The highlights for us was playing tennis at the Australian Open courts and a behind the scenes tour of the MCG. I thoroughly recommend this tour for all ages!
