Traveler reviews
Very informative
Good insight to the design of a magnificent building. The guide has all the knowledge you want to hear.
Just Impressive
The Sydney Opera House is even more impressive in person! The architecture, waterfront setting, and views of the harbour are simply beautiful. We enjoyed walking around the area and taking in the atmosphere. Definitely one of those iconic places that feels special to see in person.
Amazing tour
Peter, our guide actually worked on building the opera house and was engaging and fascinating. Great tour!
Review Sydney Opera House
The Sydney Opera House is very beautiful and impressive. Unique architecture, located right by Sydney Harbour, beautiful from any angle. A must-visit destination when traveling to Sydney!
Fantastic tour
I really enjoyed this tour and found the history of the build very helpful interesting. The official time stated it takes 1 hour 15 minutes, but if you are in a large group like I was it took around 1 hour 30 minutes. I did the first tour of the day, which I liked as there wasn’t that many people around. It was great to get up close both inside and out and to understand the different challenges they faced in building it.
