Take a tour that’s longer than an hour

4.00The tour of the Opera House was, of course, amazing…so amazing in fact that I highly recommend you do a tour that is longer than 1 hour. As for the dinner at Midden, the view of the Bridge lights for Vivid Sydney was amazing. However, the menu choices were extremely limited. In addition, the outdoor overhead heaters were cranked up even though it was a very mild night. I asked to turn down the one over us, but they didn’t. I felt like I was literally being baked by the heat. It was dreadful.

5.00Jeannette led our group around and inside the Opera House’s prestigious structure. The sheer scale of this place’s construction and layout along with Jeannette’s commentary left a lasting impression. The food was okay, but the view of the Harbor Bridge from the restaurant at sunset really brought the tour to a satisfying conclusion.
Great tour, the tour...
