From group check-in to the end of the tour, the whole team worked together well to ensure a great experience by all. How lucky we were to see and hear the Sydney Symphony Orchestra rehearse - a defintie wow moment. The history, architecture and the constant changes so intesting. A must do.

Opera house tour

The tour was very good. The mic system worked well and made it easy to hear the guide. A useful tool as there were a lot of other groups around. We saw three of the theatres and our guide was very knowledgeable. Bear in mind that you don’t get to go behind the scenes or backstage. Still, a very enjoyable experience. Lunch at the Opera Bar was good too. Get in early as it becomes very busy after about 12:30

The tour was amazing and our tour guide really knew so much about the history and active things happening at the Sydney Opera House. The ticket area is downstairs, we had entered on the main stairs and had to ask the staff where the tour tickets were redeemed. Really pleasant staff. The food was at the Opera Bar and the offered the dining experience menu and made it very easy to choose food.
