The day was enjoyable. The only disappointments were at the MCG, whereby we were only shown the commentary boxes and score boards, but not able to go into these areas to see how these things operate. History is always interesting, but knowledge of how things work should also be a part of the tour. The brewery tour was good, but there should be more hands on activities on how beer is produced, and possibly a slide show on it's production, to include the history of the brewery.

At Etihad we had a lovely meal with a lovely view, and our tour guide Simon was wonderful and very knowledgable.

Good tour, great tour guide, MCG tour guide was a let down, not knowing much information and didn't really get to see the good stuff and behind the scenes places around the G

Apart from the rain and poor train service into the city, the day otherwise went quite well. Our tour guide made allowances for late arrival and not to the disadvantage of the other two gents on the tour. Would have been good to see a live horse at Flemington, would have been good to see the MCG museum, lunch at Etihad Stadium was very good all round. Pity the main bar room had been booked out at CUB to showcase the taps. Still, sampling beer in the back bar room was tops. Rating, 8 out of 10.
