Cannot miss while in Sydney... - Great to experience the backstage functions of the Opera House. You get to see the loading docks, orchestra pits, walk on the stage and sit in the theaters in a small group experience.

Early morning at the Opera Hiuse - Fascinating look behind the curtains, as led and detailed by a super guide. Highly recommend this tour, despite the early-morning hour.

A must do. 🤩 - One of the absolute best experiences ever! This morning, the incredible Bruce—truly deserving of a Gold Logie!—guided our small group on a tour of a lifetime, taking us deep inside and behind the scenes of one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. We explored hidden corridors, peeked into dressing rooms and even stood on stages where legends and large symphonies have performed. Bruce’s storytelling brought the Opera House to life, sharing insider architectural and theatre secrets, and the incredible effort that goes into each and every performance. The absolute highlight was the hands-on moment where I got to stand on the conductor’s podium in the iconic Joan Sutherland Theatre!!!!! Wowwww As a theatre kid, I was over the moon, and Bruce’s excitement was contagious—he was genuinely thrilled to share the Opera House with someone who loves it as much as I do! An experience I’ll never forget! Every step of the tour was engaging, informative, and downright thrilling. If you have the chance, this tour is an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Sydney. Unforgettable from start to finish!

Great for fans of stage productions - For people who are interested in what goes on behind the scenes, it’s a must do. Limited picture taking, but that’s understandable. Great guide!

Good and respectful tour of the Opera House - Very nice guided tour in the morning. The guide was very kind and knew a lot about the opera house, history etc Very respectful story given about the project and the Danish arcitect Utzon. The breakfast was surprisingly good - not some dry sandwich - but a good meal in the "green room" canteen in the Operahouse. Fully recommend this tour.

A Must Do Tour!! - Excellent tour! We really enjoyed discovering so much about what goes on behind the scenes in order to put on the diversity of productions that occurr at the various theaters at the SOH. There is a consideration to take into account. The "choose from the menu" breakfast is good, however, it is served at the end of the tour. You may want to eat something before starting the tour.
