We so enjoyed our private tour of the Opera House - a must see in Sydney! Highly recommend this behind-the-scenes tour.

We were happy to get the VIP experience with Mauve. Our group had 5 guests total whereas the regular group had about 40 people. Dinner was different than we as Americans have (Kangeroo appetizer and main course) but the combination of flavors were excellent.

Overall, this was a decent experience. The instructions provided on where to checkin were clear and the woman who greeted us was very nice. The tour started about 15 minutes after our scheduled time however that did not seem to impact the tour itself. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and could answer any question asked of her. The tour guide informed us that each tour is different depending upon what is going on at the Opera House that day. We would have loved to see more behind the scenes areas instead of multiple different theaters however if you grew up being a theater kid or have children interested in the arts, this your would be perfect. We had dinner at Midden which was very nice and we got to try some local dishes. We were through the tour and done with dinner in less than 2 hours even with the late start so as listed, the tour was quick and to the point.
