Wonderful experience. Great history and loved tour inside the building.

Very informative tour.Guide excellent and very friendly.Gteat insight to an amazing building.

It was fantastic. We were a little disappointed not to see all the theatres but understand why. This doesn’t take away from the tour. I have already been recommending the tour to people I know. I had no idea there was such a fascinating story behind the design and build.

Excellent tour. Katarina was an expert guide, witty and organised

Fantastic tour! Learned so much about the Opera House and got to see the Australian Symphony Orchestra and Australian Ballet rehearsing for upcoming performances. Highly recommend this tour.

It was so good , I did with my ex and we broke up after this trip but its all good still it was good experience

Our guide, Allen, truly loves the Opera House which came through on his tour. Very knowledgeable and a wonderful sense of humor was an added bonus

The opera house was beautiful inside and worth seeing and learning on how it was build and the history behind the builder.

Excellent. I could hear easily due to the provided headset which was very helpful. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also very friendly and very interested in providing all answers thoroughly and clearly.

Enjoyed hearing the history of the building and our Guide had great knowledge

This is the BEST deal! Seeing everything, and getting history as you walk through so many areas. I did the 4:30pm tour, and was down on Circular Quay for the AMAZING sunset after the tour. Then did the 6:30pm hop on/off bus night tour - perfect! Would recommend this to everyone!

We really enjoyed the tour of the opera house and especially getting to witness the rehearsal of the symphony orchestra and ballet.

Very educative and interesting to see inside the Opera was.

Excellent! Fascinating! Beautiful! We want to do it again.

Ed did a great job! Informative and efficient. Was definitely a spectacle to see and well worth it.
