our Tamara was fantastic!! full of information about the sports and area in general. The arenas we visited were good . My favourite was travelling around Albert Park especially as they were erecting the stands and put the track lay out ready for the race!! Tamara was thoughtful if everybody's needs and made sure to cover all things which were possible. no body went away unhappy. Thank you .

Tamara was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable about sport and Melbourne. Gave us some recommendations for the rest of our stay and went above and beyond to accommodate us.

MCG - amazing venue, informative guide

to go to a sanctuary for retired classic winning racehorses was superb. amazing animals and mostly friendly (if you have the cut up carrots in your hand)

Very enjoyable tour

Even though this was booked more for my husband who’s a keen horse racing and cricket fan, I enjoyed the tour too.

Very good organization, friendly and competent guide Tamara. Good final meal.
