Worthwhile tour for one hour. Saw both halls and heard about the history of this amazing building. Make sure to redeem your ticket at the booth before gathering for the tour.
A Marvelous Tour of the Sydney Opera House

Since I am a singer and a lover of Opera, I was incredibly excited to have a tour of the iconic Syney Opera house. Boy, this tour did not disappoint!! We got to go backstage and see the different venues inside the Opera House. We learned how the sets were moved to the stage from where they were stored. I was fascinated by everything! What made this tour extra special was the fact that I had scored tickets to see "The Magic Flute" in the Opera House the night before this tour! The was a very enjoyable tour, and I highly recommend it!

It was one of the lifetime experience to take a tour inside the Opera house. Our guide, Stephen, was very knowledgeable and presented the rich history in a great way. We were stunned to see the architecture behind the opera house and the detailing. Would definitely recommend the tour to anyone visiting Sydney.

Fantastic tour with great information and background as well as being a chance to see several theaters. Very interesting background on the construction. There are a lot of stairs on the tour and no lift access I highly recommend this tour.
