The tour guide, Freda, was delightful. She treated everyone with respect and provided a nice tour for our group. We were mostly on our feet but there were also times when we could sit. The Opera House itself is an amazing structure. This tour is well worth the time and money. Also, the free meal was a bonus. We ate ours before the tour to avoid the dinner rush.

Discover the architectural marvel of the Sydney Opera House on a guided tour that unlocks its history, design secrets, and backstage stories in 60 minutes.

Enjoy a delicious meal paired with a refreshing drink at Opera Bar, House Canteen, or Midden, with views overlooking Sydney Harbour and the Harbour Bridge.

Explore inside the Opera House’s grand performance spaces and learn how performers prepare backstage for iconic concerts, theatre, and opera shows.

Choose from multiple language options for your guided tour, including English, Mandarin, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean, for a personalized experience.

Fun fact: The Opera House’s sail-like design was inspired by orange segments and took 14 years to build, becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
