This was a one-of-a-kind experience with an ace guide - This experience was a definite highlight of our visit to Melbourne! Ben is knowledgeable about sport, the city, and the history of both having been involved in the Melbourne sporting scene in various ways for a number of years. This means that as well as a detailed history and trivia of the venues and the sports held there he is also able to throw in a number of amusing, entertaining and informative anecdotes. I’m not much of a tennis player myself, having barely touched a racket in years, but the feeling of being on the court and hitting some balls over the net at such a remarkable venue was absolutely ‘Ace’ and one that won’t be forgotten! If you are visiting Melbourne, then I can’t recommend taking this tour enough, as I’d say it is essential to get a glimpse into Melbourne’s sporting side and place within the city.

A wonderful way to experience Melbourne's sports scene - We had a fantastic morning, visiting many of Melbourne's most important sports grounds and learning all about the city's rich sporting heritage. Ben is a fount of knowledge and his passion for both sport and this great city is infectious. Getting to hit some balls on the Australian Open courts was was a unique treat and a highlight of our holiday. I am not particularly sporty nor a big sports enthusiast, but I had so much fun on this tour.

Great tennis outing! - We are a tennis family and loved being able to walk around the grounds and even play on a practice court. Our guide, Greg, was delightful and gave us lots of interesting context and history about Australian sports from tennis legends to nuances of Aussie Rules football. A fun and informative morning!.

Awesome experience with Ben! - Ben was terrific! He picked us up at the hotel and showed us all around the sporting venues. We then played on court 3 under the lights. We had a blast and then he drove us back to the hotel.

A fun and enjoyable tour with an excellent tour guide :) - It was a really fun tour! Ben is very very knowledgeable and passionate about the sports history in Australia. We knew a lot of new things about Australia Open and other sports. I am a very beginner in tennis and I learned a lot about tennis. Even when you're not a tennis fan, you are going to enjoy the tour. Ikut tour ini karena ingin mengenal tennis lebih jauh dan pingin mencoba lapangan tennis di Melbourne. Ben menjelaskan dengan seru dan dengan bahasa yang simple, jadi yang tidak seberapa mengerti bahasa inggris juga tidak perlu kawatir. :) Ben, terima kasih! Thank you so much for the tour!

Tennis Tour - Ben was such a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a lot of wet weather on the day and Ben was amazing at coming up with a plan B to get us out of the rain yet still make it enjoyable. This tour is great for tennis and sports enthusiasts. You will definitely learn something new. Getting to play at the courts was a highlight as well. 100% recommend this tour 😊 Thank you so much!
