Enjoyee it. The design of...

Enjoyed it. The design of the opera house is very intentional and meticulous, even based on the human ear attestating to clever minds. Just like the fine tuned design of the universe, life & human consciousness attest to The designer & Creator God, revealed in Jesus Christ who loves you.

Sydney Opera House tour

The tour was very informative and educational. Our tour guide knew so much about the Opera House history that it made it interesting. I highly recommend.

Inside the Opera House

Seeing inside of the Opera House whilst learning about its entire history – from the initial design, through the construction, right up to the building we see today – is truly an incredible experience. And all of this was only possible thanks to our guide, Sheila, who looked after us throughout the tour and made me feel right at home, even though I was thousands of kilometres away. Every minute spent on this tour was well worth it, and I’d definitely do it again!
