Sydney: Opera House Guided Tour with Entrance Ticket - Beneath the sails: architecture you can understand

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 8,312 reviews · 1 hour · from $33Our pick

Tour Sydney Opera House beyond the sails, with theatrical spaces, rare photo spots, sharp storytelling, and 300 stairs in one hour.

“The “behind the scenes” access was my favorite part. The entire tour was excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. A special mention needs to be made about the headphones on the tour: we remarked that it was absolutely the best listening experience ever on a tour! I understand that sound quality is the key to a musical venue, but extending that to the audio tour was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone!”

It’s a very slow climb with several stops on the way with a few drinking fountains (bubblers). It was rainy day but that was just fine vs. doing it in the heat. The views were spectacular! If you are on the fence about doing it, DO IT!”

Bree was very excited the whole day which I loved! She knows so much about the region and was so kind to take pictures of everyone all day long. The tour is also great if you’re cramped on time but still wanna see the Great Ocean Road. We also had the opportunity to do a helicopter tour over the 12 Apostles which was amazing!! I would definitely…”
