Great value. Very professional and organized. The hour went by quick, but didn’t feel rushed. Was allowed photos for the most part. There was about 80 people in my group.

Absolutely wonderful. Our guide was knowledgeable, easy to hear and enhanced the whole experience for our 7 grandchildren. As both the oldest members of the group, one an architect and the other had studied the history of art/ architecture, so we’re familiar with the background story of the design and building of the SOH.

A pleasant well-paced tour of the Opera House that covered history, the sights, and enough time to take pictures, and wasn't so tedious. Enjoyed the tour and the guide ensured that it was a nice experience with his stories and friendly attitude.
