This city tour with a difference gives the sports lover an opportunity to go behind the scenes at venues that host some of Australia's favourite sporting events! Choose between the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Rod Laver Arena, then visit the National Sports Museum for a day of sporting splendour!

On the morning of your tour you will explore a range of sporting venues, including Flemington, home of the Melbourne Cup, the horse race that stops the nation! We'll drive through the Commonwealth Games Athletes' Village and around Albert Park on the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit.

You also choose to go behind the scenes at either the Melbourne Cricket Ground or the Rod Laver Arena.

The MCG is a super stage for Australian sport, a stadium for the 1956 Olympics, Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games, International Cricket and Australian Rules Football. Highlights of the tour include the Northern Stand, coaches' box, players' change rooms, cricket viewing room, Long Room, Bill Lawry Cricket Centre, aerial views, the new MCG Museum, the Ponsford Stand and a walk on the hallowed turf (all subject to availability).

The Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne & Olympic Parks is one of the world's busiest sports and entertainment precincts. Enjoy an insiders' view as you are taken through Australian Open tournament control, the change room used by the world's best tennis players, the Walk of fame, up to the superboxes and VIP hospitality areas, inside the media centre theatrette and, events permitting, into the arena!

Lunch is included overlooking the arena at Etihad Stadium (formerly Telstra Dome). In the afternoon enjoy the National Sports Museum. The National Sports Museum features more than 2500 sporting artefacts and extensive multimedia displays, showcasing the great moments in Australia's sporting history.
