Very cool experience,...

Very cool experience, tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and nice. The infrastructure and architecture of the building is amazing to learn about. Would have liked to watch a show, but the opera house was booked out 3 weeks in advance, so if you want to watch a performances make sure to book early!

Enjoy touring the opera house

This was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide Peter he is very knowledgeable, he took us all around the opera house. We book the tour and dine and eat at the Midden by Mark Olive. The icing on the cake, as we say is that we needed gluten a free meal. The Midden has several GF dishes, and the food was delicious.

Interesting insights into the Sydney Opera House

The tour is interesting and well organized. It lasts 50 minutes. We had decided to take the included lunch at the Midden restaurant. From there, one has a beautiful view of the bridge and the harbor. However, we were not treated very kindly there, more like second-class guests. The food was good, but it consisted only of a reasonably sized piece of meat or fish and a modest vegetable side. Not even bread was served, and salt and pepper were offered when we had almost finished eating.
