Eoghan was a great guide. His knowledge of the Opera House and Utzon was incredible.

Exceptional tour with a really passionate guide. Though Sydney is my home and have done a few similar walks over many decades, Eoghan's enthusiasm and knowledge made for a fascinating few hours.

Eoghan’s Opera House Tour was among the most informative and personal tours I’ve ever taken. This guy knows his stuff! As a practicing architect, he can talk about the design and construction at a level of detail beyond the capabilities of an “ordinary” tour guide. Yet Eoghan presented everything in a way that engaged everyone. He also gave fascinating insights into the competition to design the project, the personality of Jorn Utzon, and his troubled dealings with the NSW government. This tour is definitely focused on the genesis of the Opera House as a building. It’s the perfect complement to the “Backstage Tour” given by the Opera House which covers the inside operations. I highly recommend this SAW tour and look forward to taking others on future visits.…

This is a fascinating tour for people interested in the deeper architectural and social aspects of this incredible building. Although I live in Sydney I had not ever had a chance to look so closely at the House with such an expert guide. Highly recommend this tour.
