We were not able to see the main theater at the Sydney Opera House because of a private event. If we planned this tour in the future, we would check the Opera House’s schedule of events before confirming our tour date and time. The tour guide was good but we had a limited tour of the venue.

Our guide was very knowledgable and I loved all of her anecdotes. Sitting inside the theatre was fabulous for me. Our guide bringing to life the history of this architectural marvel made a world of difference.

The guide was absolutely fantastic! It was really interesting to hear the backstory about the architects who built the opera house. The architecture itself is beautiful and the lunch after was just great. Highly recommend.

Our guide was personable and very knowledgeable. Could hear everything he said through the headphones provided. The only con is you have to go up and down a lot of stairs so be prepared.

Caroline M

We enjoyed the tour. Understand that the day you go and what is happening on the stages effects your tour. It was well worth the cost to get inside the Sydney opera house. The earphones worked great.
