Excellent tour, the guide was very passionate about the Sydney Opera and knew its history very well. The only improvement point would be allowing more freedom for taking photos in concert rooms as despite copyright issues, this is irrelevant for iPhone photos, especially given the distance to the stage.

It was really interesting to hear about the history of the inception of this iconic building as well as to get a behind the scenes look at the infrastructure and workings of some of the theatres. Our guide, Emily, was both entertaining and informative. Happy to recommend!

The tour was really interesting to learn about the history of the Sydney Opera House and see behind the scenes. In addition, with the visit ticket, you may be able to have discounts for the shows that evening. That's what we did. The guide Carole is very nice.
