I thought this was a wonderful overview of the Opera House. Our guide was knowledgeable and took us into as many venues as he could. Explained how the structure is built. Also told some very funny anecdotes. The restaurant was amazing. I was very surprised at the choices and the quality of the food.. I would highly highly recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed the Tour! The small group made it really easy to move about and get lots of information about the venue. Shout out to our guide for keeping things moving and interesting and for answering all of the questions.

We loved the visit and tour of this iconic building. Our tour guide was knowleable and it was so interesting to hear about how it was designed, building and paid for, all very fascinating. We were able to see the main hall - which was great. The meal afterwards at Midden was fabulous too.

This is a must do experience and better to take the private tour than the big group tours they offer. You may pay more, it it’s worth it. And dinner was nice. Just be prepared for all the stairs!
Highly recommend!

The opera house was one of our favorite things from a three week trip! This private tour and dinner with harbor views was so fun. Our guide was so informative and clearly loves the opera house and what he does. He was so friendly and also offered to take pics of us throughout the tour if we wanted. This was an awesome experience! Would highly recommend!
