The Adelaide Oval tour was actually better than I expected I loved hearing the anecdotes from our guide, it added a personal layer to the experience. Other highlights were getting to go inside the historic scoreboard, the Bradman Room and learning about the AFL rooms and game day procedures. Viewing the Sheffield Shield was an unexpected bonus. Any sporting fan should definitely do this tour!

I loved the tour and out tour guide Brenton Barrett was amazing with such a passionate love of the oval, he infected the same love of that wonderful oval. Highlights were the old scoreboard and passing through the race from the cricket rooms to the oval. Was an amazing experience, I have highly recommended this tour to all my friends.

Rob was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. His obvious enthusiasm and pride in the ground and its history were infectious. The small group we were in made it feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. I strongly recommend this tour.

Being able to go inside the scoreboard was great as were the practice room and changing locker rooms. The description was very good as were the demonstrations.

Great to see behind the scenes as players who use the facilities. Interesting to learn the history, etc. Enjoyed the tour and didn't feel rushed. I've marked one star less because the meeting point was shown as just behind the bronze statue out front of the south gate, when infact the meeting place was in front of the Bradman Museum inside. We waited around outside before deciding to check inside at the help desk. This should have been clear in the instructions.
