An excellent behind the scenes view into the iconic Syndey Opera House. A wonderful experience learning about the history and work that goes into the Opera House. Bella was an excellent and enthusiastic guide.

Alan was awesome and explained well all the bits of the opera house, allowing us time to enjoy, take pictures and soak in the views.

I’d been dreaming of visiting the Royal Opera House since I was a little boy - so, maybe 50 years! We chose to do the backstage tour as there wasn’t anything on that we fancied watching. An early start is required to get to the Opera House for 6.45am! I forget our tour guides name but she was great. We got to see an amazing amount of ‘behind the scenes’ areas - several stages, musicians pit, green room, scenery areas and so on. Slight disappointment in not seeing inside the big stars changing rooms..and it all ended up with a very decent breakfast in the Green Room with all of us chatting until we were kicked out. Top tour! I think it was $175 a head which I thought was ok.

Linda, our guide, was so passionate and knowledgeable about Sydney Opera House it was impossible not to enjoy the backstage tour. We viewed lots of spaces and were given so much information about how all the venues within the opera house building work. So many steps to climb! Breakfast at the end was a feast. Fabulous on all counts. 🤣🤣🤣

Early start at 6.45am. Met guide ( lovely lady but sorry can't remember her name) at stage door. Very pleasant and welcoming . Set off in a small group to visit various theatres, back stage rooms and other areas not normally in public domain. Guide was very informative, cheerful and had that knack of making everyone feel involved. After tour had breakfast in the Green Room ( where actors/ actresses and directors etc normally congregate Very enjoyable . (Massive almond croissants.). Had opportunity to direct from the pit 👍and tinkle on a Steinway if you wanted. The tour is quite expensive but we'll worth it.

This small group tour was in-depth and adventurous! it was really cool to stand above, below, behind and ON the Joan Sutherland stage and the Concert Hall stage. After the tour, we enjoyed a lovely lunch in the cafe (included) and then proceeded to the Box Office where we had the opportunity to purchase symphony tickets for later the same morning. For us, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to then sit in the audience knowing that just minutes before the concert, we stood on that very stage.

This was a wonderful tour of the Opera House and really should be a must see in Sydney. While I could have done without the wokeness of some of it, the history was great and seeing parts that you could not otherwise see unless at a performance was amazing. Great views of the Harbor Bridge too!

The tour took us thru the opera house from a view behind the scenes. We saw the areas used to assemble and move the sets, that includes some large and unique elevators. We also stood on the stages of the two largest venues therein. The tour included a visit to the uniques orchestra pit, above the scenery, and in a dressing room. The guide was very knowledgeable about the events, the opera house, and its history and operation. We were provided a huge breakfast at the end of the tour, in the green room where the performers and staff take their breaks. Overall - an outstanding tour of a national landmark.

This intimate tour behind the scenes at the Sydney opera house was well worth the price! We toured every major venue and stood on the stage of the Joan Sutherland theater. Or guide, Bella, shared so much information about the opera house. The breakfast far surpassed our expectations. Seeing the SOH from this perspective was a rare treat. Can’t wait to see the performance of The Magic Flute on opening night.

Our tour was wonderful! Bruce was extremely knowledgeable and very funny. Our group represented many countries, and Bruce made it easy to chat and enjoy the tour together. Breakfast was great!
