Really enjoyed the stadium tour and learnt a lot regarding the history of the Oval ground and its significant contributions towards other sports not only cricket which was a surprise. Tour guide was very outgoing and informative throughout the tour. We were lucky to see all parts of the tour without any interruption due the the weather as well as it is currently off season. I would highly recommend this stadium tour if you're a cricket enthusiast or a fan.

Went to watch Day 4 of the England vs India Test Match at The Oval—what an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere was incredible: a mix of passionate cheers, playful boos, and constant energy from the crowd. You could really feel the tension and excitement with every ball. The view of the field and players was excellent, and it was easy to stay immersed in the game. There were plenty of laughs and friendly conversations with fellow fans—people around us were super welcoming and happy to chat cricket.nnThere’s a wide variety of food and drink options, from classic fish and chips to Indian food, masala tea, beers, ciders, and soft drinks. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but that’s expected at a stadium, and the quality is solid. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. A fantastic spot to enjoy a day of cricket!nnThe Oval really delivers when it comes to creating a lively, memorable day out. Highly recommend catching a match here!
Superb tour, very good value, superb views of London, fantastic guide with information that can be appreciated by all, you don't have to be an ardent cricket fan to enjoy this tour, excellent.
Did the ground tour, very good, 2 hours duration. Went to top of the stands with excellent views over London. Note whilst we went inside the museum for a few minutes the museum is not open to the general public like say Lords or other football ground museums are. I was presuming you could go back to the museum and browse at your leisure after the tour but sadly that is not possible.
