Overview
Spend one hour discovering Sydney's biggest tourist attraction with the Sydney Opera House Tour.
Learn all about the history (and future) of this world-famous hall. Today's Opera House combines heritage-inspired interiors with the latest technology, including 270-degree visuals and surround sound, to give you a truly immersive experience. You'll relive unforgettable moments from past concert hall performances, and have the chance to capture photographs from rare vantage points that are off-limits to the general public.
Facts
Australia is famous for its climate and that extends to the Opera House too. The Sydney Symphony Orchestra has to ensure the concert hall is a steady 22.5 degrees for the instruments to stay in tune.
The original budget for building the Opera House was $7 million, but by the time the building was finished 14 years later the final cost was $102 million.
The Opera House hosts a whole range of events: back in 1980 Arnold Schwarzenegger won his final Mr. Olympia bodybuilding title here.

Amazing history
Marina ·Absolutely amazing, tour guide was fantastic, best sight of the trip, loved everything about it
Sydney Opera House Tour
David T ·Booked a guided tour. Guide was informative and there was no rush. Got to ask lots of questions, which were all answered. Great tour.
Amazing architecture, tour could be better
Jasmine ·The actual building is so beautiful! The tour itself was not that interesting and we didn’t get to actually see that much of the opera house.
Sydney opera house tour shouldn't be missed
Lynda ·Excellent tour. We didn't realize that reservations were required to tour the opera house until the day we arrived. A quick email was all it took to get tickets at the time we were hoping for. It was very easy to redeem our passes for tickets and the tour itself was fascinating. Highly recommend this particular tour and highly recommend the GoCity passes - they are a great value!
Great
Jayden ·It was so cool!  and it is in such a nice place because it’s right next to the Sydney bridge!
Definitely do the Tour!
Mary T. ·We were debating doing the tour, and thought we might just walk the exterior, but were very glad we did the tour. Our tour guide was really good, knew alot about the opera house and we got an inside look at things we never would have seen had we not done the tour. There was an opening of Madame Butterfly the day we toured so we were able to see the set for the play. A really good experience overall.
