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.

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.

Interesting behind the scene tour of the Sydney Opera House. Fun to be able to get up close to the roof tiles and learn about the history of the building. Not good for people who can’t climb a total of 300 steps!
