4.00Great one hour tour. Guide was excellent with relating the history and some stories about the opera house. They were setting up the main theatre so we couldn’t take photos there. A lot of steps but guide provided a lift in some areas to help those that had trouble with stairs. Dinner at the opera bar was good but nothing special.

5.00This is a great experience to learn on the insight of the architecture and history of the building of the Opera House. We took advantage of the lunch afterwards, and there was a great variety and including a drink of which was gratefully accepted since the day was warm, but inside the Opera house and Cafe wasn't. Great Tour would thoroughly recommend
Equally impressive inside and out

5.00Arguably the world's most unique opera house, and the inside tour does not disappoint. Each of theatres has a beauty and charm of its own. We took our lunch option at the Opera bar and the food we had was well worth the extra we paid for the add on. A tour we were very happy to have done.
