Excellent tour of some historic sports venues in Melbourne. Kel explained the history behind some of the venues which hosted 'firsts' in Melbourne and Australian sports as well as the info about the better known stadia. We also got to drive round most of the F1 track albeit somewhat slower than the race cars.
The second half of the trip was less sports orientated, which suited my wife, and an excellent tour of South Yarra, St Kilda, Brighton and South Melbourne Market. Again supported by lots of interesting facts. We also got to walk round a couple of areas to get the feels of these Melbourne suburbs.
All in all a great trip with Kel and Mel.

We absolutely recommend this trip to everyone visiting Melbourne for the first time. They have done a thorough job of explaining the history of Melbourne especially sports. We visited the MCG, Rod Laver stadium, rode on the F1 circuit (Albert Park), and also grabbed a coffee at the Melbourne market. We enjoyed traveling with them and saw how passionate they were to share everything they know about the place. Thanks Melissa and Kel for a fantastic time!

We had a private tour with Kel and Melissa and it was just like a day with good friends. They are proud of their city and it shows. They created an itinerary that included everything we asked for and more. It was a jam packed day that included stops at the Brighton bathing boxes, a drive past various sporting venues, a visit to the main highlights of the city and a lunch stop at The Stables. We were treated to commentary on the history of the city and enjoyed every minute of the day. There could not have been a better way to experience Melbourne, and we recommend Kel and Melissa to anyone who wishes to have the best tour ever.

Thank you for packing into 3 hours so much insight and fun for the 6 of us.
The sports venues, suburbs and bathing boxes would have held much less significance had we done the sightseeing on our own. It would have taken us way more time and effort to take in all these sights on our own too. As foodies, we enjoyed the oysters and crayfish at the South Melbourne Market you brought us to!
I'd definitely recommend your tour for anyone who's been to the city and wants to see and taste more. Above all, we appreciate your warmth and friendliness.
