What To Expect
Sydney Opera House
The Tour & Dine bundles the Sydney Opera House 1-hour tour with a meal at one of their harbourside restaurants - Opera Bar, House Canteen, or Midden by Mark Olive.

After the tour enjoy a meal at one of our dining venues located besides the famous sails and with some of the best views in Sydney including your choice of main meal from a selection and a drink: wine, beer, or soft drink.

5.00I really love the headphones set for thr tour as it blocks out everything and the instructor can calmly speak and everyone can hear the information. I really enjoyed the background and history of the Opera House and how it was designed. The food was also great. It was a busy day given that there was a conference here the same weekend we were. Definitely recommend taking this tour if your in Sydney and want to learn about its most iconic worldly known staple.
Fantastic tour!

5.00Fantastic tour - our guide Lyn was engaging and knowledgeable. We got very lucky and were able to see inside both of the large halls and see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Australia Ballet rehearsing! The tour and dine was also great - 3 restaurants to choose from, all with harbour views. We ate at the Opera Bar and had a great lunch and excellent service. Highly recommend this tour!
Great tour with views of a warm up on one of the stages and much great history. We loved it!
