Our guide was excellent and the venue quite beautiful. Maybe one day I could attend a concert there. We were able to see both of the large theaters.

A unique and interesting way to spend an hour at Circular Quay. Our guide, Darryl, was knowledgeable and funny, showing us the many intricacies of the Opera House. It was amazing to see some behind-the-scenes rehearsal and set up in the theatres. Highly recommend!

Did an online booking - which was easy and quick - better than the unhelpful and uninterested girl at the ticket counter. Started and ended on time. Our guide Emily was sweet, respectful and considerate. However as it was raining maybe we missed the part of the tour which was on the outside - will never know. Also, we didn’t get to photograph or talk in both the concert halls as they were being prepared for the upcoming shows - which is a shame really - specially because one of them just had a single ballet dancer catching up on his sleep on the stage - not even remotely preparing for the show! Can’t say it was money well spent - do this only if you have the time or want to tick it off your list.

Good: get to see three theatres and the architecture from inside and out (on the balconies). Also a couple of films about why it’s built on a special place and who built it which is fascinating, and how the original architect ‘returned’ to carry out improvements. We got to sit in both of the large theatres and learn about the layout and acoustics. Slightly reminiscent of the Barbican in London (there is a tenuous link). Leaving bags is easy as staff are very helpful. Shop is small. Not so good: it was a large group of about 30 and the guy taking us round used an effective headphone system but it makes it difficult to interact and ask questions and the talk felt a bit robotic until the guy was asked a question when the chance arose. The tour route might change depending on what is on at the time. There are a lot of steps, especially if you climb up only to find you have to go down again during to turnround activities. Everyone seemed to manage though.

Very interesting tour of the iconic Sydney opera house. Since it is hard to get tickets to performances, this was the only way to see the inside of it. The tour guide was enthusiastic and gave a lot of information and seemed to go out of her way to get us into as many of the rooms as possible. While it is pricey it shouldn't be missed, if possible.

Absolutely worth doing! Getting to know the story of how the Opera House was planned, develop and build is just amazing! Glad my boys got to do it and enjoying it so much.

A distinctive and famous community meeting place with a stunning harbour view. It's a place where you can have a picnic, take a tour, and enjoy a show! Whether you're looking for a fun day out or a romantic evening, the Opera House is sure to provide a memorable experience. Just don't forget to bring your camera – you'll want to capture the beauty of this iconic building!

We were not allowed to take any pictures! Our guide was too self important and short on facts and detail about the opera house. Did not get see much of the interior, had to watch videos!

Excellent tour with Peter, the tour guide. He was passionate about the history, and we could tell he loved his job. He took us to places where we felt very spoilt, getting to the Swan Lake rehearsal!

The Sydney Opera House is an iconic example of Danish design, offering a unique and diverse program of events. From world-renowned opera and ballet performances, to contemporary music, theatre and more, the Sydney Opera House has something for everyone. Enjoy the famous views of the harbor and the city skyline, and explore the many restaurants, bars and shops that make the Sydney Opera House a must-see destination.

Wonderful peek at the inside of this iconic landmark. Bella was an informative guide and very patient with our early morning group.

Our guide was Zoe and she was great -- very entertaining and knowledgeable. The microphone/headphone system meant we all could hear what she said easily. I wish more tours would do this. Having taken the tour heightened my enjoyment of a performance in the Concert Hall the next day, so I highly recommend it. One thing that wasn't clear was the location of the Welcome Center where one needs to report to start the tour - it's on the lower level on the Harbour Bridge side.

My wife and I and another couple were lucky enough to get the last few seats available for the Chinese National Symphony Orchestra tour at the Sydney Opera House. We sat in what would normally be the choir loft, but let me tell you they were superb seats. I wish other venues would make the effort to put seats there like Sydney Opera House does. The only down side is the restrooms are on the ground level and it’s quite a walk from the choir loft to get there. The concert was supposed to start at 2030, but didn’t till 2045 because they wouldn’t open the seating gates till 2015. No way you can seat that many people in 15 minutes. The concession stands didn’t open till 2020, causing more people to be late.

A fantastic tour with a full explanation of the process and time frame of the architecture and engineering of this amazing building. Highly recommend this tour.

Walked the whole perimeter of the Opera House, Sydney's famous & iconic building. Magnificent 'sails' of the Opera House gleaming in the sunshine - just awe-inspiring. Enjoyed Harbour Bridge impressive views. On Manly ferry, had different stunning vistas from the ocean back towards the Opera House, also gorgeous dusk photos. We haven't been to Sydney in a long while - now revisit; we'll definitely be back soon.. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.)
