        We had an excellent tour guide called Zoe. The tour was very interesting. Just need to pick up your tour ticket at the kiosk so maybe get there a bit earlier. At the end of the tour we were told we could get a discount if we showed our tour ticket when booking a show. However, this was only if you had booked your tour at the Opera house booking office. So a little disappointing..

        This was an interesting tour about Sydney opera house and its history. It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't see the main halls as they were closed for rehearsals hence I knocked off a star, also the tour group is very large which I don't think is the best thing given how busy the area already is.

        The experience was very fun and engaging. I really enjoyed the concept of headphones for us to hear what is being said. It was an amazing tour with lots of stories that happened in the opera house. Overall a very joyful experience and need to come back for an event
