Sydney Opera House
Join us on this historical tour where you'll learn how in the mid-1950s, Australia and a man from Denmark, Jørn Utzon, created a sculpture on Sydney Harbour that changed the course of twentieth-century architecture. To quote US architect Frank Gehry, “(it) changed the image of an entire country.”

Thank you Peter!

We attended the Opera House tour and the architecture tour. Both very interesting and enjoyable. I would just like to reiterate that Peter is an absolutely incredible guide. His knowledge and passion is beautiful and endearing. His tours are fantastic and we really enjoyed our time with him both days. We can't wait to return again for the 50th celebrations!
Simply stunning

This is an unbelievable architectural feat that was made so long ago but it still striking. Whether viewed from the boats or on land there is so much to look at and admire. The sound acoustics are phenomenal and it’s interiors are so beautifully crafted.
Great Tour

You must visit the opera house when in Sydney iconic building. The tour was great lots of people around due to the school holidays but this didn’t take away from the experience
Amazing Architecture

First of all you definitely need a guided tour to fully comprehend all the intricacies of this amazing facility. That said, we were quite rushed and the stairs can be somewhat of a challenge when everyone is hurrying.
Highlight - newly renovated Concert Hall
Sydneysunset, 17-09-2022
Hour long tour. Full group of 30. Given individual headsets to hear guide. After a few technical issues for the entire group. They worked well. Walked inside & outside of OH. Inside Bennelong Restaurant, North Foyer ((photos permitted). Highlight of Tour was sitting in newly renovated Concert Hall which is beautiful (no photos permitted). Guide was good but info was disappointing. Tour was highly recommended by a friend s who did it recently but they clearly had the guide with more technical info. Worth doing just for seeing the Concert Hall alone. Would highly recommend to first time visitors to Sydney. For locals who have been inside the Opera House for shows, your experience will depend on the quality of the guide.
