Very nice experience! recommended ! It's good to see all the opera house .
Our visit to the Sydney Opera House was truly memorable! It’s such an iconic place, and seeing it up close was an amazing experience. The tour was very well organized and informative — the guide explained everything clearly, from the history and architecture to interesting stories behind the performances. We really enjoyed exploring the different sections of the Opera House, including the main concert hall and theatre rooms. The views from around the building were stunning, especially overlooking Sydney Harbour and the Harbour Bridge — perfect for photos! My family and I had a great time and learned a lot. It’s one of those experiences that makes you appreciate how special Sydney is. We highly recommend the Opera House tour to anyone visiting — whether you’re a local or a tourist, it’s definitely worth it!
