A wonderful day
An amazing day at the Oval cricket ground. Every member of staff we met was friendly and helpful. Our tour guide, Paul, and his Coordinator were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us a tour to remember, presented with enthusiasm and humour. What amazing history and stories the Oval holds. The finale was a visit to the top of the Galadari Stand. What an outstanding view of the ground and fantastic London skyline. The Sparkling tea was amazing, staff too. Thank you all very much.

Fascinating day out
Had a very enjoyable day out at The Kia Oval with a tour of the ground and museum with Rupert and/or Paul our guides and who gave informative and amusing talks taking us around. A very nice afternoon tea with Prosecco. A lovely day out and watching cricket too!

Fabulous day at the Oval
Fantastic insight into all things cricket and most importantly Surrey and the history of the Oval. Tour was brilliant, everyone we spoke to at Surrey was exceptionally helpful and we had a great day. Only small negative was having the late slot for Afternoon Tea as it felt too much like mass catering and the food reflected that quality that it was the last group, food was becoming stale

A very pleasant and relaxing day
This was a gift from my wife and her first experience of cricket. The day was well organised both prior to and on arrival and was well balanced. The tour was interesting and well paced. The afternoon tea was good and again not rushed. We found the whole day very enjoyable and very English.

It is a very good day for me at the oval.
I was very happy to see some of the past history of cricket and how it was played at the beginning, before the rules came in to affect.

Excellent day out.
Received this as a present and had a brilliant day. The tour was really interesting and the afternoon tea with proseco was well presented with a good variety of sandwiches and cakes. We were lucky that the weather was just about perfect and the cricket was very entertaining.

60th Birthday Treat
Overall this was an excellent day out, the knowledge of our tour guide and his manner in which he conducted our tour was great. The afternoon tea with bubbles was very good and our waitress kept us well stocked with liquid refreshment the whole time. My only, very very slight, disappointment was that when arrived we were just given our ticket at the ticket office and left to get on with it. Bit more of a personal greeting would have been nice. Would I recommend this experience, yes definitely.

Great Tour, Average Tea!
The Oval stadium tour was excellent- informative and interesting. Sadly the afternoon tea didn’t quite match the tour - quality was average (especially the sandwiches that tasted like they had been sat out for a while and had gone crusty and the Prosecco that tasted very cheap).

Great tour of the Oval
Well organised tour of the KIA Oval; easy entrance and tour was on time. Excellent tour guide, very informative. Only downside was we couldn't see the Long Roomo r players' facilities as there was a match on. The tour included visiting the top tier of the new stand with breathtaking views of the London skyline as well as a fantastic overhead view of the match in progress. We finished with prosecco to complement a quality afternoon tea, buffet style, with coffee or tea. Overall a great time!

Perfect day for cricket
We had a brilliant day out at the oval. All staff were super friendly and knowledgeable! The tour was quite quick and snappy, would have liked to have spent more time at different points. Match days obviously no changing rooms etc. What a brilliant and historic place, would defiantly revisit! Afternoon tea was lovely! Champagne was so nice so was worth doing, then if you’re visiting on matchday watching the cricket from the sky’s was brilliant. All over, a great day!

Gtreat experience - shame about the admin
The event itself was great - the staff at the Oval on the day were helpful; the tour was interesting and the afternoon tea was a good quality. We had a series of hiccups though on the administration. Despite following process on activating ticket, the Oval did not actually book us on a tour. When rectified before travelling, we arrived and found we had been booked on the tea without fizz deal. Luckily I had the original Virgin Gift Voucher printed out and with me.

Day at cricket
I wasn't sure what to expect. The tour was very informative, not to detailed for those that are new to cricket, guide very friendly and knowledgable. Wonderful surroundings, the ability to move around the ground during the day was great. It meant we could move out of sun, different view of play. Minor points afternoon tea was lovely, but only half of guests able to sit at tables. We had to sit outside in the ground seating. There was room for more tables to be set. Few food choices open.

Kia Oval Match Tickets, Tea and Tour
We had a great day, a few niggles they could correct to make it an excellent experience. No lanyards left when we arrived at the ticket office, afternoon tea was sat around huge tables full of people with not enough room to tuck chairs in, no view of the cricket while eating - even though it is promised. Tour was great, very informative and we had a great time. Overall was a lovely day out but we feel they need to adjust a few things to make a 1st class experience.

A great tour but disappointing tea
We had a great day watching the match and a fantastic, informative guide on our tour. The disappoint for the day, sadly was the afternoon tea. There were 6 people on our tour and they squashed us on two tables, the poor couple in the middle of the 2 table had to reach over everyone to get their food and eat off their laps. We were then served scones with no jam or butter. When I asked for some they looked as if I asked something bizarre and said we don’t have any. Very disappointing.

A lovely day’s cricket in the sun
A well organised tour with friendly hosts, however the afternoon tea was very disappointing. If it wasn’t for the tour and the cricket I’d have given this a poor rating.

Ok day, shame about the afternoon tea
I expected more. The cricket was rained off which meant we only saw two hours of cricket. This meant that the inside parts of the ground were crowded due to the rain, and it felt like we were in the way, especially when we went inside the pavilion. The afternoon tea was disappointing, with everything laid out on a table instead of being served, and the suite we were sat in was not big enough to house everyone on the tours, quite a few has to stand and eat, which I thought was terrible.
