Feedback from the Glory & Fame Tour, 2010

I would like to thank Simon and his driver for such a great "Glory and Fame" Tour. I loved every minute of it and will try and do the tour again in the future. I was impressed by every aspect of the tour, and Simon was very accommodating throughout the tour. It was so easy at the pick up location was ideal for anyone travelling to Mebourne. The Essendon club were also very helpful so I would highly recommend the tour to any Essendon supporter. - Sarah June '10

My family and I went on your glory & fame tour at windy hill on Saturday and absolutely loved it. I just wanted to let you know how much we really enjoyed going behind the scene into the rooms and of course meeting with a current player of Mark McVeigh was an experience I will not soon forget.

AND HERE'S WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT

The AUSSIE RULES FOOTBALL with a local host tour

"Just wanted to say thanks to Anthony for the trip. The whole event was amazing; he gave us some (much needed) insight into the game and the rules, he kept us not only up-to-date on what just happened, he made it fun and was also a great host. I will be quite happy to recommend you to anyone who comes to Melbourne. Seeing an AFL game is a fun sporting experience. Seeing it when you understand it makes you feel like you\'re part of the city - it\'s phenomenal. Again, thanks!!" Kyle, April- 2010

"Many thanks for the enjoyable evening yesterday. It was interesting to see how close the seats were to the pitch and, with the proximity to the benches, it was a different up-and-close experience (the sounds, skills, smells, shouts, and the masseurs!) that many do not get even when up in the stands." Neil, June - 2009

"What a game! This was by far the best booking we did in Melbourne. Our local host was fantastic and provided us easy to understand information. With the group size limitation, we couldn't help feeling like this was a private tour." Jeanne, USA, September 2007

" Just wanted to say thanks for a great time at the Aussie game when I was in Melbourne.  I had a great time.

I was over in Melbourne on business by myself and I'm a huge American football fan.  I love to try new things so I thought it would be fun to take in some of the local sporting events.  I thought the idea of going with someone that new the rules and the game itself was a great concept.  I didn't hesitate!  It was the highlight of my trip and I would recommend it to anyone in Australia or traveling to Melbourne.
Anthony was a great host and we had a great time.  Once back in the States, I kept up with the games through the internet. Thanks again for the great time.
