4.00Opera house tour excellent! Very informative and unique. I would rate tour a 5 star but gave this a 4 due to the dine option. Note that the dining option is a coupon to one of the restaurants. Two restaurants were full with very limited seats. The third restaurant had separate section for coupon holders at a bar section with no shade. Shaded areas open but not for coupon holders. Dine option not part of tour experience just a coupon for food.
Not delivered as promised
