Benaud couldn't have put it better... a simply marvellous afternoon here at the SCG.
I was in Sydney for 10 days, having never visited Australia before. I did a lot of things, and believe me this was right up there with the BridgeClimb. Now I am, as former Australian PM John Howard described himself, a "cricket tragic". So make of that what you will. But this tour offers exceptional value for money - around 2 hours in which you can see (and take photos of): - treasures of the SCG museum - statues and plaques of true greats - the ground, up close and from the media centre - the members pavilion, and home/away dressing rooms I also have to praise Neil, the guide. He is affable, full of knowledge and obvious enthusiasm, as well as the kind of genuinely interesting stories you won't have heard doing the rounds in the media. He doesn't have to show off - it's in everything he says and does. I wouldn't like to be his opponent in a cricket trivia shootout, put it that way. Our tour was partly affected by restrictions in place following a huge thunderstorm the day before, but Neil worked around that expertly and we never felt like we'd missed out. Really, if you love cricket and have an interest in or appreciation of its history, I cannot imagine you coming away disappointed from this experience.

An enjoyable tour behind the scenes.
Interesting insight into the history of the stadium and players who have competed there. Enjoyed being able to sit in the change rooms and see the members bar. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 735 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 257 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Behind The Scenes: Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Guided Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Chef-Led Hunter Valley Gourmet Food and Wine Day Tour from Sydney, Ultimate Sydney Walking Tour (Small-Group, Drink Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
