Reviews
So much information! What an enjoyable tour. So much history and we were able to see both theatres while they were empty. Highly recommend
Thank you very much .chao chao.
The write up for this tour was accurate, and it was a reasonable price.
You get a headset so you can hear the tour guide which was a very good idea, it also meant that they could have a few tours near each other and noone was shouting over anyone else.
You get to see all around the Opera House and into one of the auditoriums, but I think this depends on what is happening at the time.
T|He guide imparted just the right amount of information and he also sounded like he really cared about the House and also Sydney in general, which was very nice.
I reccomend this tour.
Good audio provided for the tour so we didn't miss any of the info.
