How things work - a unique experience - It is so worth getting up early to enjoy this guided tour!!! We are theater fans, not opera. We like to understand how things work, the engineering, logistics. This tour was a wonderful view of the challenges of putting on these complex performances and the history of the build. Our tour guide, from Canberra, an opera performer, (I'm not good at names), was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. After a nice braekfast, we easily made our 10:30 departure to the airport.

Back Story of the Backstage Tour - This tour takes you all over the Opera House. There are back hallways, stairs, theaters, dressing rooms etc. You’ll hear fascinating history about the designing and building of the opera house. You’ll see the sets for current shows, the green room, giant stage lifts for scenery and sets.

Exclusive Access and a Delicious Finish at the Sydney Opera House - We had an incredible Sydney Opera House tour with breakfast, and it was truly a memorable experience. Our guide, Nicolas, was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the Opera House and its inner workings. He took us backstage on several of the stages—and even onto the stages themselves—which felt very special and exclusive. We learned how props enter the Opera House and are moved throughout the building, and we also got to see a dressing room, which gave us a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how productions come to life. The tour struck a perfect balance between history, architecture, and the day-to-day reality of a working performance venue. The experience was topped off with breakfast in the Green Room, which was absolutely delicious and a wonderful way to relax and reflect on everything we had seen. This tour exceeded our expectations and is a must-do for anyone visiting Sydney, especially if you enjoy seeing how iconic places really function behind the scenes.

Excellent tour - Emily was very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting. Many of the areas don’t allow for photos because of copyright etc, but she made sure we had plenty of opportunity for photos given the restrictions. There are a lot of stairs to climb - not sure of availability of elevators, so someone restricted in movement may want to inquire as to alternatives. We were able to select our breakfast from a menu provided at the beginning of the tour. The food was good as well. I would recommend this tour for others.
