It’s good to have a Chinese tour guide. The Sydney Opera House is spectacular. When we visited it, we had the opportunity to see the staff setting it up. We happened to encounter the Sydney Symphony Orchestra rehearsing. We immediately bought tickets for the official performance in the evening. It was worth experiencing in person. ! After the concert, you can have a drink at the opera bar, which is very chill.

I came to the Sydney Opera House. Although I was late due to my schedule, the tour guide still let me in. Fortunately, I was not late for too long. The tour guide carefully explained the history of the Opera House and introduced the small animals. It was great.

Fantastic experience! Our tour guide Grace shared many interesting facts on the Opera House. Walking us through Concert Hall and viewing the stage from the audience seats. We were so lucky to have the chance to see a rehearsal session. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sydney.

My family and I had a lot of fun on this and it was so educational. We learned so much about Australia! One of the stop was the opera house and it was such a beautiful view!

Fun day for the kids. However, it wasn’t worth the price if you only went on two rides like me. Wished they had ride by ride tickets in addition to an all day wristband.
