Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Different tour guide for the MCG (an MCG member veteran) who gave some dodgy facts about MCG, but other than that all the information seemed correct. Brewery was interesting to see the bottling process and learn a bit more about some of Australia's flagship brands.

Sports part of the trip was excellent, especially the MCG and Flemington. Guide was very knowledgeable, Melbourne is the paradise for a sport supporter, anything sport related is highly thought of here. On the down side, make sure the brewery is actually running before you book this add on, as it was not when we went ( on Fridays) which made it a bit pointless. In general though a very good tour, probably better to do the Sports Hall of Fame in the afternoon after lunch though.

This was excellent and extremely well organised. A small 12 seater coach meant that the tour was more intimate and gave us the opportunity to chat with fellow travellers. The guide was very efficient and knowledgeable.

If you're lovers of sports then this tour is a must! We had a great tour guide. Wished the MCG museum was included in this tour instead of the brewery.

Review by: James H, Australia	February 2007
Booking was quick and simple and instructions regarding the tour itself were clear. It eventuated that I was the only person booked to do the tour on the day and the operators offered me the opportunity of picking a different day, continuing as arranged or having a refund if I wished. As I was leaving Melbourne the following day I chose to continue as arranged. The tour operators were happy to honour the existing arrangement and I ended up having a most enjoyable "personal" tour. They went out of their way to ensure that I enjoyed the day and I cannot speak highly enough of them. I commend the tour to anyone with an interest in sports and beer.
