The perfect night! The food was delicious and the views just spectacular! Would highly recommend to others
Very cool experience, tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and nice. The infrastructure and architecture of the building is amazing to learn about. Would have liked to watch a show, but the opera house was booked out 3 weeks in advance, so if you want to watch a performances make sure to book early!
This was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide Peter he is very knowledgeable, he took us all around the opera house. We book the tour and dine and eat at the Midden by Mark Olive. The icing on the cake, as we say is that we needed gluten a free meal. The Midden has several GF dishes, and the food was delicious.
Dear W1284HHsilviat, Thank you so much for your glowing review of the Sydney Opera House and of our brilliant guide, Peter! We're very lucky to have top tier guides showing our guests around this incredible venue. Thank you for also taking the time to enjoy the delicious offerings at Midden and we're so happy to hear your GF request was to expectation! We hope to welcome you back again soon. Kind regards, Team SOH
Learning about the history of the Sydney Opera House left me in awe of its extraordinary creativity and remarkable architectural design. I truly enjoyed this unforgettable trip.
Our guide was brilliant and loved what he does !He made audience very attentive and there was a natural glow
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.
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.
An extremely cool tour, very informative and fun! Really cool to see behind the scenes! Can't wait to visit again!
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.
This was a nice tour of the inside of the Opera house. It gave a history of its building. We were lucky enough to hear the orchestra and choir practicing for AIDA, which was wonderful. The lunch that was included was very good as well.
