Sports, sports and more sports with cold beer - Tamara was brilliant, couldn’t fault her.
We drove around the City in a Luxurious Minivan which was so comfortable compared to the standard ones that are more commonly used.
Between each destination we had a lovely in-depth conversation besides sports and beer which she was very knowledgeable in, she’s also knowledgeable in some history of the City itself.
It was awesome to see all the Sport Stadiums and Arenas.
Hubby really enjoyed tasting all the different beers as beer is his favourite alcohol drink.
Happy days!!!

Sports Heaven - Our guide Tamara was a wealth of information about all the sports venues we went to and provided information that was of great value. We were a small group and we had a fantastic time when we visited F1 Circuit, Flemington Racecourse & MCG were I was able to go into the change rooms of the Mighty Tigers.
Lunch was provided at a nice cafe in Richmond and the tour finished at a Craft brewery in Sth Melbourne.
All in all a great day had by all, thank you Tamara and your team.

Amazing for sports fans! - Had so much fun on this tour. Went to all the major sporting grounds and got to hear the history of each one. Andrew was really accommodating and knowledgeable. We did have to do a last minute change for lunch, but that was all taken in stride and easily fixed. Would highly recommend this tour for any sport fan
