Very interesting experience, it is a blessing for tennis fans. The guide Ben is a senior sports practitioner. He took us to explain the history of Melbourne (from the perspective of tennis and sports), the history and venue facilities of the Australian Open, and other sports in Melbourne.
Tennis is the focus of the itinerary. I learned interesting knowledge during the visit to Melbourne Park, such as the Australian Open is the largest of the four Grand Slams, and AO was almost turned into Singapore tennis. After the venue explanation, I played a ball for a while in the practice field. I felt the speed of the Australian Open. The rhythm was very comfortable and I felt that the speed was moderate.
I usually only watch tennis, but other sports in Australia are also very interesting, such as the super large venue of Australian rugby, which is very shocking. I like the Australian idea of sharing sports facilities. Everyone has the right to use the facilities instead of professional athletes. There is a huge gap between us and Australia in this regard.
Ben's explanation is easy to understand, as long as you can speak English, you can participate. I plan to bring my daughter to participate in AO next year. Ben said that the Australian Open is very friendly to children.

Memorable walk through Melbourne sports history and culture through the grounds of the Australian Open, Melbourne Cricket Ground and Collingwood AFL practice field. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with our very knowledgeable and experienced guide Ben, who left no question unanswered and we all left with a deeper appreciation for the evolution of sport in Australia, the incredible achievements of Aussie sports figures, and the intersection of sports with local politics/culture. We even had the chance to hit some balls on the AO practice courts!! Highly recommend.

The tour was fantastic. Ben our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, easygoing & happy to answer any questions from our group. Whilst we primarily took the tour for the tennis component, we loved learning about the other sporting venues. Being American we learnt quite a bit about cricket and found it interesting and informative. This tour is highly recommended, it clearly shows that Melbourne is the sporting and cultural capital of Australia because the venues not only highlight the popularity of sport in this amazing city but the diversity that comes with it.
