More from the Sporting Tours Melbourne Cup tour...

This is the ULTIMATE Melbourne Cup experience.

Do it next year!

13/11/2024

A week ago today one group of lucky punters were just settling into their seats at Flemington getting ready for the Race that Stops a Nation.
The Des Coppins led Sporting Tours group had prime seats to that action that day.

"If anyone has the Melbourne cup on their bucket list then I recommend you book with Sporting Tours. We booked the 8 day/7 night tour staying at the Pullman Melbourne and it has been nothing short of sensational. Thank you to Kel, Chris and Des Coppins for the best organised tour ever. We will never forget the 7 days we have just spent with the other super friendly punters on this magnificent tour. It was a once off bucket list trip for us but it was so good we would love to do it again next year."
Dave and Ann-Marie Anderson

Don't miss out next year!

It wasn't only the marvelous on-track action that our lucky Melbourne Cup Escorted Tour group enjoyed - there was plenty of off-field fun as well!
Rodger Jordan, Kerrie Montgomery and Sandi Kelmqn were victors in the Sporting Tours Social Bowls Tournament!
And in a close second place were Leighton Montgomery, Jason Williams and Barbara Dowd. Well done guys!
We've also enjoyed Fashion in the Field and lunching at the Fergusson Winery.
