Informative and engaging tour - Our tour guide Daphne was excellent, explaining the history of opera house in details. She made it interesting and entertaining by sliding in some jokes here and there. Impressive and def well worth the ticket.

Good information from the tour - Good tour experience. We were able to join the afternoon tour after we were late for the initially booked morning tour. Quite reasonable price and good information.

Request sent - Hi, I flew from Brisbane to Sydney to meet up with good friends from Phils. They are here only until Saturday, 30th. I booked for the opera house tour in Mandarin as it was the only available. When we got there we were told that if we do not speak Mandarin, we cannot do the tour. They were doing a refund for me when they found out that I booked w Viator. They told me to contact Viator and ask for refund. I am flying back to Brissy now. I wanted to ask if I could book for the tour for my two friends who are still in Sydney using my payment. Is there a tour available in English for tomorrow?… Even if it’s a tour w dining, I am happy to make additional payments. Thank you and I look forward to your favourable reply. My mobile number is 0406078350. Thank you.
