After listening to the tour guide, you can understand the tortuous history of the construction of the Opera House and the avant-garde design concept. No wonder it is a must-visit attraction in Australia. I recommend everyone to take the tour!

Ticket redemption can be done right on the bus when you get on. An earphone for the audio guide and a map are provided at the start of the ride. The route and stops are well-chosen and provides a comprehensive view of the interesting sights around the city. Make sure to take both the red and blue routes!
