- scoobs680 contributionsExcellent tour of Sydney Opera House.The tour was good value. We had a very knowledgeable guide called Emily, who delivered all the information we needed in an informative and comical way when needed.

- TravelingBill0 contributionsLots of stairs to see things either in total darkness or not allowed to take picturesWe booked this tour through Viator. Tour was about 25 people but they provided headsets, so hearing was not a problem. Guide told us some information about the opera house, but not as much as I would like to have heard. We saw three theaters, two of which we were told to not take pictures. Lots of stairs, 200 or so just up, same number down, so if you have any mobility issues, not a tour for you.Written 12 February 2025

Great experience, the ambience was really good, the people where wearing good outfits, even if there is no dresscode. At the break time there was a bar offering some snaks and drinks, not too expensive if compared with the restaurants in the zone.

The guided tour here is great, with a great balance of the technical and the historical. Really lovely clarity from the guide over headphones and you get a real sense of both the amazing story behind it and it being a working iconic performing arts venue.
Sadly the eating venues were just too busy to actually redeem at lunchtime but it’s valid up to 18:00.

Visiting the Sydney Opera House was a dream come true for me; and I was not disappointed. Even though the tour was only about an hour long, a lot of information was packed into it. For me, it was simply a tour of “awe”. Being able to sit inside several of the chambers, the short lecture about the design, the architect and the architecture made me feel like a student hungry for the knowledge of this place. After the tour a nice bonus was your selection of meals from 2 different cafes on site was included in the tour package. It was nice variety and ample food servings and a drink. Thank you to our guide Sheila whose love for the place was definitely a plus.

The walking tour was well worth it. Good commentary and saw inside of both the main performance spaces. Amazing construction. The meal and drink was nothing special. You can buy the same items at the two restaurants cafe as the meal is just a voucher to use at either of those places. Not sure it saves any money

We enjoyed the tour. It was interesting and gave us a historical understanding of the building of the opera house as well as the performances. We were able to see the venues and different stages and understand the modern selection of performances.
We opted for the dinner and drink following the tour. One of the GF options was a pizza, which was satisfying. My friend had a different type of pizza but also enjoyed hers. You also were able to select from a house drink as well.
Worth the costs.

Highlight of our 7 day stay in Sydney! What an amazing day. We went to 1030 tour with meal at Opera Bar. Also, brought tickets to see La Traviata. Perfecr viewing and sound, Loge seats 91 and 92. Ordered tour and opera in Aug 2023 for Jan 19 2024. The sooner the better if you wish to see Opera or have a tour. Tours are available in many languages. The building and history are fascinating. The Opera House is a UNESCO site that is a definite jewel. The meal portion can be redeemed anytime of your tour day. Limited choices on the menu. If you sit outside, it is a QR code to order. The one fact about Australia I really didn't enjoy. Late afternoon was great to enjoy the outdoors and people watch. Many Australians and people come to the Opera House to enjoy bars. Gets very busy. Music entertainment and lively. Fantastic views of Harbor Bridge

The tour was fabulous. All of the technology worked. The guide was knowledgeable, courteous, and managed the large group very well.
I wish I hadn’t wasted my money on the meal and drink. I thought that it would be with the group and the guide. It was actually a voucher to stand in line at one of the café style places. After I stood in the line and went to the counter to place my order I found out that the tour came with a restricted menu so I had to go back to my friends and ask them what they wanted from the restricted menu. Then I had to stand in line again. The bottom line is: take the turn skip the meal.

While you are able just to walk around most of the opera house, it is nice to get some information from the guides. Seeing the insides of the theaters(6) and here the history is quite informative. While dinner was ok it is nothing fantastic. Fish and chips, pasta and some beers was nice and easy. We also had tickets for a show that night so the day was perfect.

The Opera House is absolutely flawless. It is one of the very rare monuments that is as amazing on the outside as it is inside. I went on a family trip many times,however it was one of the destinations that is magnificent to visit alone too. This phenomena has also been a part of the 7 wonders of the world! You wouldn't want to miss this 5 -star experience to your dream restaurant and tour!
