Highly recommendable! Our tour guide Shiela was very engaging, vivid and knowledgeable and made sure we could visit all the interesting parts of the Opera house. Our tour started at 4:15 pm and that was a win. The views from the Opera house over the harbor are stunning and when we got back to the foyer after the tour it was buzzing and vibrant as a show was about to begin.

The tour guide was excellent giving us the information in a friendly and professional way. It was great to go into the Joan Sutherland Theatre where the rehearsal of a scene from the Merry Widow was taking place and then to see it live the next day! Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the story of the Opera House.

Our tour was 4.15 in the afternoon with guide Laura. She was delightful, knowledgeable and answered questions well. The concert hall was stunning and its versatility was well explained. I really liked the splendid use of woods contributing to the acoustics. 4.15 was a perfect time to enjoy the fabulous harbour view.

The tour guide was amazing - learned a lot about the history ilof the Opera House, lots of amusing anecdotes etc. It was excellent and well worth it. We're going back this evening for a recital by an organist we heard rehearsing during the tour.

Take a 1-hour guided walking tour of the Sydney Opera House and explore its legendary halls, theaters, and soaring sails with a local expert.

Admire the building’s iconic sail-like architecture, a masterpiece of 20th-century design by Danish architect Jørn Utzon.

Hear behind-the-scenes stories about the venue that hosts over 1,800 performances each year and explore hidden corners not seen by the general public.

Enjoy the tour in your choice of 7 languages and upgrade your tour to add a meal and drink at Midden, the Opera Bar, or House Canteen.

Fun fact: The Opera House roof is made of over one million Swedish tiles, forming a shell pattern that's both an engineering and artistic feat.
