Traveler reviews
More beautiful than photos, a place worth slowing down to enjoy
This time visiting Sydney, the Opera House is one of my most anticipated attractions, and actually seeing it is more beautiful than the photos. The architecture is very characteristic, combined with the port view, no matter from which angle it looks good. It is recommended to arrange the evening, not too hot, but also to enjoy the sunset, the whole atmosphere is comfortable. We walked along the harbour side slowly, and also sat nearby to rest and look at the ferries that came in, and didn't feel bored at all. If there is plenty of time, you can easily walk around, eat, and enjoy the opera house after the night lights, which is a different feeling. It is recommended for people who come to Sydney for the first time to see it in person, not only to check out the attractions, but also a place to impress.
Highly recommend- would do it again!
We all loved it!! The guide Freda was great and we were all pleasantly surprised with very interesting facts about Sydney opera house
Great pace and...
Great pace and explanation! Learned so much about Sydney, the history and design elements. Thank you!!
Opera House
When my plane QF742 was descending to Sydney, I saw Opera house through the window. It's always good to see it from the sky
A short tour through the public areas. Nothing special.
Quite nice, but there wasn't much to see. We were in the lobbies, in a small hall, and in the Sutherland Hall. Then a video of the construction was shown. Nothing was shown from the areas that visitors usually cannot access.
