There's nothing quite like being in the midst of
the action and the Ashes is one of the most exciting events in the cricketing
calendar. Taking a tour to Australia to watch world-class cricket is a great

Where to Go and What to See
When you head out on a cricket tour to
Australia, the main thing you want to see is the cricket, but there's so much
more to it than that. Cricket tours are about absorbing every last drop of the
atmosphere. There are experienced and knowledgeable tour guides to take you
through every element of the series, as well as plenty of opportunities for
sightseeing and sampling the local lifestyle as part of the package.
Embarking on a cricket tour is an opportunity to totally immerse yourself in the sport. With Test Match venues that are world class and guaranteed tickets to every single match, there's no excuse to miss any of the twists and turns as the series progresses.
It's not just about the cricket, however. Australia is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and embarking on a cricket tour provides you with plenty of opportunities to explore this fascinating country. Not only will you get the chance to watch the cricket at venues such as the Adelaide Oval and the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground, but you will also be able to experience some truly definitive Australian destinations. You can take a trip to Uluru (Ayers Rock), dive at the Great Barrier Reef, taste fine Australian wines in the valleys where they are produced and even get the chance to watch the New Year fireworks exploding above the Sydney Opera House. You can also take advantage of other optional stopovers such as Hong Kong and Singapore to really make the most of being in this gorgeous part of the world.
Of course, the main event of an Australian Cricket Tour is the cricket itself and what better way to enjoy the Ashes Series than by being surrounded by those who are really in the know. The cricketing forums allow you to gain an even more insightful view of the action and many of the tour guides are professional players so you really get to see the sport from the inside. There's no better opportunity to really immerse yourself in this iconic sporting event.
Watching all the excitement of the Ashes when you are on a cricket tour is an experience that you will never forget. Combining it with the opportunity to see some of the most beautiful destinations in the world along with the laid-back, outdoor lifestyle that is quintessentially Australian is something that many only dream about. Dreams can easily become reality, though, when you embark on a holiday such as this. With everything you need for a season of sport, watching the Ashes in Australia is an opportunity of a lifetime.
