Sydney: Opera House Guided Tour with Entrance Ticket

1.Opera House Guided Tour with Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★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!”

Review of Sydney’s Blue Mountains tour with a steep Wentworth Falls walk, Three Sisters views, local lunch, and practical tips for an active day out.
