Our
Sports Lovers Tour host Anthony took Jules Lund and 'Getaway' friends
on the "Sports Lovers Tour plus Tennis & Tour". See Jules
playing tennis with Alicia Molik on Margaret Court Arena. See the write
upon the Getaway
story from 17/2/05 here.
AND HERE'S WHAT OUR
CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT:
"Today
my friend and I enjoyed a great tour of Flemington, MGC & lunch
at Ethiad along with checking out lots of the sights of Melbourne with
Simon. We would like to pass on to management our delight in having
such a great tour guide as Simon. His information about all the sights
as well as "typical" Melbourne things that Colleen and I as "Melbournites"
had "forgotton about" was outstanding. He made sure everyone knew
exactly what they were doing as well. I was lucky enough to have
won the tour through my employer so I will be recommending your tours,
especially with Simon to them." Faye & Colleen
- October, 2009
"The MCG tour was
amazing! We were lucky enough to meet Ron Barassi and Jim Stynes who
just happened to be in a meeting there at the time, it was an added
bonus for us seeing as though we are Melbourne supporters! We could
have stayed in the museum for a whole day!"
