Our guide on the 1.30 tour was fabulous! So passionate and engaging. It was through doing the tour that we went on to book tickets for The Gatsby at the Green Room.

My hubby and I were impressed from beginning to end. First, there is such respect for its first peoples. A sign states, "Welcome to Gadigal land." When you walk up to the sign, a voice activates to talk to you! Underneath the Opera House, signs say hello in MANY languages. Our tour guide was a young man who proved informative and entertaining, our favorite kind of guide! He was also aware of how stairs and old folks like us sometimes don't mix, so he kept an easy pace. We kept up without fail. This is an impressive work of architectural beauty. Please go and see for yourself.

This was an informative, behind the scenes tour, I really enjoyed hearing all about the design process and seeing the different stages. One thing to point out, we had trouble figuring out where to go for the tour. We walked around the entire structure and upstairs to box office. You need to go downstairs to the Welcome Center to get your tickets, NOT the box office. It's not well sign posted.

Very knowledgeable and professional guide. Your not suitable for small children due to absolute silence needed in some auditoriums where rehearsals were happening. Our guide got reprimanded due to young children made some noise and one adult asked questions when clearly told to wait until outside of theatre. Really enjoyed this tour. Highly recommended.
