We loved this tour. Being huge cricket fans we were keen to see this amazing stadium. We had the privilege of being shown round by MCC member Bryan Dunlop who was more than happy to share his knowledge with enthusiasm. We included the sports museum tour. We purchased tickets to watch an AFL match the next evening. COLLINGWOOD v SYDNEY SWANS. Such an exciting sport. We had an amazing time. Well worth watching. The huge crowd consisted of supporters from both teams who mixed without any issues. Hopefully our next visit will be to watch an ashes cricket match. The ground is easily accessible via Danihers way and a beautiful walk along the Yarra river.

FANTASTIC! Definitely do this tour if you're in Melbourne - well worth the $$. David was our guide - fantastic bloke, lots of information and had a great sense of humour as well. Interesting that there's over 120,000 people on the Members waiting list... All positives!! well done MCG!

A really excellent experience which my wife (not a cricket fan and neither of know Aussie Rules) enjoyed as much as I did. A lovely friendly welcome, we were early but they put us on an earlier slot with our guide Carol….who was excellent. Friendly, efficient, full of knowledge and inclusive The tour takes you everywhere behind the scenes, though not on the grass which was being re-laid anyway after the Taylor Swift concerts Highly recommended although we booked via Trip Advisor with loads of options since the MCG website offered no availability for weeks!

Visited with my wife. My eldest son gave me two tour tickets for my birthday, when he heard we planned to visit the ground whilst in Melbourne. Being a great cricket fan it was a tremendous gift, and I have to say this is one of the best stadium tours I have ever been on. The staff were great, and the guide was very experienced, and provided some huge insights into the history of the ground. A memory I will keep for ever!
