It was the best, we got to go into places such as backstage in the Joan Sutherland theatre and the concert hall, the orchestra pit, the biggest lift in the southern hemisphere. We also checked out the dressing rooms, the rehearsal areas and the green room. Freida was the most AMAZING tour guide with her information, stories and friendly personality which made the tour experience a great one. The breakfast was pretty good. a great tour.

We went on the Sydney Opera House Backstage Guided tour with Breakfast. My husband was on the fence about touring the Opera House but we were so glad we did because it was amazing. Alan was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw room reserved for staff and performers and all of the performing halls. We learned a lot of the inside scoop on behind the scenes information and the history of the Opera House. Breakfast was included at the end of the tour in the Green Room. Very nice end to an amazing tour. We enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this tour.
Brilliant tour. You see a different aspect of the Opera House and all the work that goes on behind the scene to make the audience experience amazing
Fantastic backstage experience. We learned so much and saw so much. Alan was fantastic. Highly recommend to everyone visiting. Only issue was finding the meeting point, it's down the escalators and around it to the Stage Door area. It was hard for us to find at first!
The tour is aptly titled, Back stage. We were able to see two stages, one opera, one play stage. We did not go in to the larger venues. We saw costumes from Romeo & Juliet, and a dinosaur from a stage play. Bruce was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Breakfast was served to us and was delicious! Bruce gave us tips on where to take great pictures. After our tour, we walked away from the opera house and enjoyed the Botanical gardens .
Steve, our guide, was very informative & friendly. We enjoyed the tour.

We really enjoyed the behind the scenes look with this tour. Suanne was an amazing guide!

Touring backstage at the Opera house was so cool. Everyone needs to take the tour. To see it close up front was so cool, but to come to Sydney you need to take the backstage tour to make it complete.
This tour is totally worth the price of a ticket! Great tour guide, Brent Bennett, knew the building inside and out. We got to get on stage, in the orchestra pit and all the backstage rooms. Breakfast at the end was delicious.
