Discover the best things to do in Sydney

Funny thing is, i screwed up, we thought we were seeing a show at the opera house, we just chose your show because it matched our travel schedule, we live in Key West and were on an aussie vandango. once the initial embarrassment was over, and we settle in at the Lyric, we were absolutely blown away by the adaption from screen to stage. the delorian! wow...kudos to the set director and his staff. just wow. great show, Doc was the star, but the whole cast nailed each character. 5 stars ain't enough. webb dillard keywestvibes.com

My youngest daughter visiting from Belgium the first week of January had seen Madama Butterfly at the iconic Sydney Opera House. Since I had to be in Sydney this week, she strongly recommended that I would go and see this famous Puccini opera (my mother's/her grandmother's favorite). I was not disappointed. What a powerful performance! I had brought a colleague from India who had never been to an opera yet. He was most enthusiastic about this once-in-a-lifetime experience. For someone who has not experienced it, it may be hard to believe, but a live opera can move one to tears. I am very happy I followed up on my daughter's advice. Thanks, Marthe!

Our tour guide Stuart was absolutely brilliant, very knowledgeable and passionate about the ground and told us some great stories of what happens behind the scenes! Would highly recommend!

I particularly liked the fact that you could listen to the tour in your own language and that you got to see areas that are not accessible to normal visitors. Highly recommended!

The performers - marvelous voices and stage presence. In particular, tenor Young Woo Kim as Calaf, was magnificent. Also impressive were Rebecca Nash as Turandot and Maria Teresa Leva as Liù. Negatives - costuming was very disappointing (drab, non royal) and certain scenes went on too long eg Ping, Pang, Pong. The Avatar design and animation were very effective.

The Blue Mountains are absolutely stunning, with dramatic cliffs, lush forests, and beautiful waterfalls flowing through the valley. Booking through Headout made the entire experience seamless and hassle-free, with clear instructions, instant confirmation, and great value. The friendly ticket reception staff provided helpful guidance for first timers, which made everything easy and stress-free. Traveling from Sydney Central Station was very convenient thanks to well-organised public transport allocated to reach the site directly. Overall, it was an unforgettable, smooth, and well-managed experience from start to finish. 🌿✨

I'm a lover of Opera (actually belong to Thanes Opera Company, a small local community chorus) & ti actually visit the Sydney Opera House, watch a show, was a dream come true. I took my niece who'd never watched or listened to Opera before and she loved it, especially as she recognised some pieces. It was a great introduction with very friendly and amazing performers.

Loved this experience. First time in Sydney and a few days to spend sightseeing prior to the Ashes. I chose the midday trip as it included a meal which was really good. Well prepared dishes with plenty of choice and no feeling that if you weren't at the front there wouldn't be enough to go around. The commentary kept us informed of queue length so we I didn't miss any of the sights. Over 2 hours on the boat and not a dull moment with a full commentary of interesting facts and places to see. I particularly like it that the captain stopped the boat so we could get some good pictures of the Opera House from the far side of the Harbour Bridge. Boat was clean and looked well cared for. I'd recommended having the trip at the start of a visit as it gives you ideas of other places to visit (Zoo, Maritime Museum, Manly etc). You obviously also see views and aspects of other Sydney landmarks that are not possible from the land. Thoroughly enjoyable start to my visit.
