Ticketing was easy, even for a non-tech person like myself, the tour guide was articulate and knowledgeable, and the Opera House is, of course, amazing.

An Architectural Marvel

Bask in the magnificence of Australiaā€™s defining architectural marvel of the 20th century. Considered a UNESCO world heritage site and Australiaā€™s proudest achievement, the Sydney Opera House shows up consistently in pop culture. The opera house was inspired by modern expressionist design and is characterized by the precast ā€˜shellsā€™, which are sections of a 75.2-meter sphere, that make up the roof of the massive structure.

Learn More About the Opera House

Learn about the motivation, original design by JĆørn Utzon, and consequent rise to popularity as one of the top destinations for artistic expression. Your expert guide will take you around all the important parts of the Opera House while explaining its significance in Australian culture and history. As the tour will take less than an hour to complete, this is a great way to explore the Sydney Opera House and learn about it if you are short on time.
