My cousin and I had an absolutely great time on this tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, highly enthusiastic and friendly. The best parts of the tour were very unexpected and the highlight of our stay in Sydney. We were able to quietly go into one of the larger halls and see the symphony orchestra playing a Brahms symphony. It was a thrill. Next was another surprise - we were able to go into one of the smaller halls and see the ballet company in rehearsal. Both were completely new to us both and a really great experience. Many thanks to our tour guide and, of course, Viator, for providing this tour for us. Would highly recommend it to everyone.

This was a very fast tour so that we could see three of the five concert halls even on a weekend. Very informative, and the inside of the Opera House is gorgeous! Definitely worth doing, though you do have to go inside the building to collect your tickets and then wait for an available tour time.

An excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide. 1 hour is just about right, although it is potluck exactly which theatres you get to see.

Fantastic tour. The guide seemed like an architectural expert even though he claimed not to be one.

This was great and included a lot of the history of Sydney and Australia. I learned a lot.

Very interesting. Good tour guide. Unique Opera House that operates independently, not through an opera company. Lovely building even though it was controversial and very expensive to build.

We were fortunate to see two sets of rehearsals, as we chose to visit in the morning. The guide was very informative and it was well worth the money.

This was a good counterpart to the behind the scenes tour, but it duplicated some parts of that. However, we got more in-depth info on the history of the opera house and the specific theaters we visited.

Definitely worth doing. There is no other way you can see all of the theaters without having to pay for the shows.

The one hour tour was just right from a time standpoint. We saw all we needed or wanted to. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
