Itinerary
The Tour & Dine bundles the Sydney Opera House 1-hour tour with a meal at one of their harbourside restaurants - Opera Bar, House Canteen, or Midden by Mark Olive. The story of the Opera House rivals any dramatic opera for plot twists and jaw dropping cliff-hangers. Step inside and explore beyond the magnificent sails to hear the stories behind Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s remarkable design. On this one-hour guided tour you’ll discover the intricate workings of a living, breathing icon. After the tour enjoy a meal at one of our dining venues located besides the famous sails and with some of the best views in Sydney including your choice of main meal from a selection and a drink: wine, beer, or soft drink. Enjoy your main meal and drink at either; House Canteen or Opera Bar between 1130am - 6pm by redeeming your ticket stub at the bar, or Midden by Mark Olive between 1130am-230pm for lunch, or 5-6pm for dinner by presenting you ticket to the waitstaff before being seated.

Traveler reviews
The title was captivating and delivered as advertised!
Our guide was brilliant and loved what he does !He made audience very attentive and there was a natural glow
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.
Sydney Opera House tour & dine
Peter was the best tour guide answering all of our questions. The construction of the building is awe inspiring and worthy of one of the wonders of the world! Amazing tour and watching all of the activity on the harbour was so special and relaxing. The food was awesome. Try the kangaroo…tastes like filet mignon.
Do it
An extremely cool tour, very informative and fun! Really cool to see behind the scenes! Can't wait to visit again!
The Get Away Crew Does SYDNEY!!
Wonderful!! Amazing history lesson as we viewed pensively what was being described. Beautiful venue. Our 8 person group were all amazed. Then enjoyed a pleasant meal to end the evening. Definitely would recommend! Be sure to be prepared to walk stairs and select from one of two restaurants.
